UC25 / KK URETHANE KANDY MIX RATIOS & APPLICATION
(APPENDIX "A")
Rule 1151 & Rules 4602 & 4612 Phase II
GENERAL INFORMATION
UK Kandy’s currently do not meet the VOC rules as outlined under SCAQMD’s Rule 1151 and SJVAQMD’s Rules 4602 & 4612 Phase II. Therefore we have
developed formulations that duplicate closely our original UK Kandy Kolors as far as color, strength, and performance. Kandy’s are a major part of Kustom finishing and
we believe this will give you the ability to continue to offer your customers the stunning Kandy Finishes you have been able to produce in the past.
IMPORTANT NOTES (PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND)
• UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ATTEMPT TO USE OTHER MANUFACTURES PRODUCTS TO PRODUCE THESE KANDY COLORS. FOR THE MOST
PART, ONLY HOUSE OF KOLOR'S UC25 HAS THE FLEXIBILITY AND UV PROTECTION NEEDED FOR THE EXTREME FINISHES ASSOCIATED WITH
KANDY PAINT JOBS. CRACKING, SPLITTING AND FADING IS A REAL POSSIBILITY WITH OTHER COMPANIES PRODUCTS.
• The following UC25 / KK Mixes have a tendency to bleed through art work applied over them. Refer to USG100 tech page. A catalyzed clear coat will
NOT stop their tendency to bleed. However, if multiple applications of clear (2 or more) and proper flash time between coats is observed, the leaching
of color into the clear is reduced, if not eliminated. Do individual testing.
The KK products that have a tendency to bleed are: KK03, KK05, KK06, KK10, and KK13.
• KK18 Kandy Koncentrate Pink has limited light fastness and should only be used on projects that have limited exposure to sunlight. Use with discretion.
KK18 is recommended for show vehicles.
• IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING ANY OF THE DIRECTIONS IN THIS TECH MANUAL, PLEASE CALL OUR TECH SUPPORT LINE
