How long before a product can be immersed or filled?
Use the milestone for immersion or filling, not a generic dry-to-touch time. The table below is built only from numeric times in manufacturer documents already recorded in our catalog.
Important: Shortest does not mean interchangeable. Product type, surface, conditions and intended use still have to match your project.

How to use this table
Open the exact product page to see the variant, source wording, stated conditions and other milestones. A minimum time is the earliest stated threshold under the manufacturer’s conditions—not a guarantee for colder, wetter, thicker or poorly ventilated applications.

- Confirm the exact formula and region on your container.
- Use the clock for your next action rather than touch-dry time.
- Check temperature, humidity, thickness and substrate notes.
- When the manufacturer provides no correction factor, wait longer and verify physical readiness.
