How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the specified Dry Film Thickness (DFT) in mils from the project specification.
- Input percent solids by volume and theoretical coverage from the product data sheet.
- Set the waste factor (%) based on application method — higher for spray, lower for brush/roll.
- Enter total surface area (sq ft) to be coated.
- Review Wet Film Thickness (WFT), Practical Coverage, Material Needed, and Gallons to Order.
