SURFACE
PREPARATION:
Steel surfaces are to be
abrasive blasted with chloride free abrasive. Exterior
applications to SSPC SP-10 Near White metal finish. Immersion
applications to SSPC SP-5 White metal 3 to 5 mil profile. Grind
flat all burrs, weld seams, radius sharp edges. Fresh blasted
ferrous surfaces to be primed immediately to prevent oxidation
of surface.
Concrete surfaces
should be degreased if oil and grease contamination is present.
Degreased surface shall be high pressure washed, acid etched and
high pressure washed again so surface is clean and free of all
grease, oils and surface laitance. Existing coatings should be
abrasive blasted to clean concrete.
MIXING:
Thoroughly mix Activator into
Base with mixing stick or drill with low speed mixing blade
scraping sides and bottom of container or mixing board. Mix by
Volume 3 parts Base to 1 part Activator or by weight 100 grams
base to 38 grams activator. Mix thoroughly to produce an even
colored and streak-free material.
THINNING:
Never thin.
APPLICATION:
Brush: medium to stiff
bristle of sufficient quality that bristles do not pull out and
stick in coating. Trim or tape to <1" nap.
Roller: good quality 1/8" nap.
Plural Spray: .027-.031 tip, 2,500-3,500 PSI, Heat to 130ºF
Base, 110ºF Activator.
Airless Spray: Not Recommended
Conventional Spray: Not Recommended
All spray equipment should employ traps to prevent water and oil
from contaminating coating
and screens to prevent particulate contamination.
APPLICATION TEMPERATURE:
Material: Keep between 55 to
95ºF(17 to 35ºC). Substrate: Keep between 45 to 105ºF(7 to
40ºC). The difference in temperature of the substrate and the
material should never exceed 10ºF(5ºC). Substrate shall be a
minimum of 5ºF(3ºC) above dew point. Do not apply if relative
humidity exceeds 90%. If necessary heat metal prior to surface
preparation using electric heater or heat lamp. Never use gas,
oil or kerosene heaters as they will leave a greasy residue on
metal surface. For best results keep all material in warm area
overnight(75ºF+, 24ºC) for ease of mixing. If necessary base
component of material can be heated by microwave for 30-45
seconds for a 1 KG Base unit or by warm water bath. Heat
activator by warm water bath only. If necessary let material
cool before application.
OVERCOAT/CURE TIME:
By brush, roller or squeegee recoat while material is still
soft, but tack-free, between 1-8 hours at 77ºF(25ºC). If
overcoat window is exceeded abrade surface with course
sandpaper, grinder or brush blast and wipe with MEK or Acetone.
By spray application recoat between 1-4 hours at 77ºF. Full cure
before immersion 72 hours at 77ºF. Add 1 1/2 hours additional
cure time for each 10ºF below 77ºF. Force Cure with heat for
best performance for 1 1/2 hours at 250ºF(121ºC).
CLEAN
UP:
Clean tools immediately after use with
M.E.K., Acetone or
similar. ARCLEAN or Isopropyl Alcohol can be used in solvent
restricted areas
WARNING: Base contains
epoxy resin. Activator contains alkaline amines, a strong
sensitizer. May cause skin irritation, sensitization or other
allergic responses. Use with good ventilation, particularly if
heated or sprayed. Prevent all contact with skin or eyes. Wear
protective clothing, goggles, gloves or barrier creams. Keep
containers closed when not in use. Wash thoroughly after
handling. In case of skin contact immediately wash with soap and
water. In case of eye contact, flush with water for 15 minutes.
If irritation persists seek medical attention.
