Technical Information Chain Spray
presto Chain Spray provides a unique combination for long-lasting lubrication for all chain-driven means of transportation and equipment. The lubricant is very adhesive and is therefore suitable for fast moving and heavy-duty chains such as the one in (cross) engines. In addition it is dilatant (opposite to thixotropic) and therefore prevents the oil dripping from the chain even when moving at high speed.
For use on:
For all types of chain drives such as bicycles, motorbikes, mopeds, farm machines, in ships, car repair workshops or maintenance workshops.

Environment and labelling
Environmentally sound: European Aerosols is committed to apply formulations without restricted or critical ingredients and to achieve best possible performance. The caps and packagings are made of recyclable material.
Disposal: Only the completely emptied cans should be put into the recycling skip or appropriate container for reclaimable refuse. Cans which are not empty should be disposed off as "special refuse".

Application:
- Bring can to room temperature.
- Operating temperature 5° to 30°C.
- Shake for 2 minutes before use.
- We recommend cleaning the chain with MoTip degreaser.
- Spray chain spray evenly onto chain.
- Has a foamy appearance in the beginning stages when the product can penetrate deep into the treated chain.
- Works like oil, but has the properties of grease.
- Optimum lubrication occurs once the solvent has evaporated (ca. 5 minutes).
Tips for spray painting
Protect the object and the surrounding area from spray mist.
Temperature should range between +10°C and +25°C, max. air humidity 60 %.
Store in a dry place. Protect from direct sunlight and other sources of heat. Use only during dry weather, in places protected from the wind, and in well-ventilated rooms. Follow the warning texts on the labels!
