GLOSSARY TERM
Recoat Time
The time required before a new layer of paint can be applied over the previous one.
INFO
What it is
Recoat time is the interval that must pass after applying one coat before the next coat can be applied. Each product specifies a recommended window.
Why it matters
Recoating within the correct window ensures coats bond well and cure properly. Going too soon can trap solvent or disturb the surface, while some products need recoating before a maximum time to maintain adhesion.
Where it is used on a project
A factor in scheduling every multi-coat job, balancing the need to bond coats correctly with keeping the project moving.
How NECC approaches it
We schedule coats to fall within each product's recoat window, so layers bond reliably and the system performs as the manufacturer intends.
