Waterborne Enamel
DESCRIPTION
Paint/Coating 400 Waterborne Enamel
is a high quality water reducible alkyd
enamel. It offers very good color and
gloss retention with sharp gloss, high
DOI and excellent corrosion resistance
making it an ideal coating for the Off-
Road Equipment and General Metal
markets.
Advantages:
• Low VOC* - less than 2.8 lb/gallon at
application
• Low volatile organic emissions - under
1.3 lb/gallon
• HAPS free formulation
• Free of lead hazards as packaged in
compliance with Consumer Product
Safety Commission's (CPSC) 16 CFR
Chapter II: Subchapter B, part 1303.
• Very good color and gloss retention
• Very good one coat protection - comparable
to high quality solvent based
alkyds
• Excellent adhesion and early moisture
resistance
• Sharp high gloss and high DOI
• Resistant to diesel fuel and motor oil
• Low odor improves working conditions
• Reduced with water means considerable
cost savings in solvents
• Application by conventional, airless, air
assisted airless, HVLP and electrostatic
handgun spray methods and by
dipping
• No critical recoat time
• Available in a broad range of colors
• Use water to cleanup spray guns and
equipment
• Good flexibility and mar resistance
• Dries hard overnight
*VOC compliance limits vary from state
to state; please consult local Air Quality
rules and regulations.

SPECIFICATIONS
General: Substrate should be free of
grease, oil, dirt, fingerprints, drawing compounds,
any contamination, and surface
passivation treatments to ensure optimum
adhesion and coating performance
properties. Consult Metal Preparation
Brochure CC-T1 for additional details.
Aluminum (untreated): Prime with Honest
Joy® Wash Primer, 518054.
Galvanized Steel (untreated): Prime with
Honest Joy® Wash Primer, 518054.
Steel or Iron: Remove rust, mill scale,
and oxidation products. For best results,
treat the surface with a proprietary surface
chemical treatment of zinc or iron
phosphate to improve corrosion
protection,and/or the application of Honest
Joy® 70P Water Reducible Metal Primer
at 1.2 mil DFT. Honest-Flash® 500 Primer
may be used where a solvent based 3.5
VOC primer is desired.
Testing: Due to the wide variety of substrates,
surface preparation methods,
application methods, and environments,
the customer should test the complete
system for adhesion and compatibility
prior to full scale application.
APPLICATION
Typical Setups
Reduction: Reduce with water as
needed up to 10%. Do not over reduce.
Water reducible coatings must be applied
at higher viscosities than solvent based
coatings.
Conventional Spray:
Air Pressure .............................. 45 - 55
Fluid Pressure .................... 10 - 15 psi
Tip .................................... .055 - .070
Airless Spray:
Pressure ...................... 2100-2400 psi
Tip .................................... .011 - .013
Air Assisted Airless:
Assist Air ............................. 20 - 30 psi
Fluid Pressure ................. 1800 - 2500
Tip .................................... .011 - .013
Electrostatic Spray:
Can be applied by electrostatic, but equipment
must be isolated. Contact your
equipment supplier or Honest-Joy
Representative for proper set up.
HVLP:
Atomizing Air Pressure at the Cap8-10 psi
Fluid Pressure ...................... 8 - 10 psi
Tip .................................... .055 - .070
Dip:
Excessive agitation or turbulence on part
immersion or withdrawal may cause
foaming.
Tank must be monitored for viscosity and
pH to maintain stability. Adjust pH daily
to 8.5-8.9 with ammonia. Additions of
organic solvents such as butyl cellosolve
will raise VOC.
Cleanup:
Clean tools/equipment immediately after
use with water when paint is still wet.
When dry, use Butyl Cellosolve or MIBK.
Follow manufacturer's safety recommendations
when using any solvent.
SPECIFICATIONS
Product Limitations:
• Multiple passes to obtain film build are
preferred to a single heavy pass.
• Higher relative humidity will increase
drying time.
• Do not spray at tempertures below
45°F (7°C).
• Indoor storage at 35-95°F (1.7-35°C)
is recommended. Protect from freezing.
• Tanks, containers, piping and application
equipment should be lined or stainless
steel or plastic.
• Do not use Honest Waterbase 400 Waterborne
Enamels over latex primers like Honest
Joy® 50P Water Reducible Primer.
• Custom colors available by blending
bases with Honest Waterbase colorants.
