SAFETY DATA SHEET BEFORE HANDLING THIS PRODUCT
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 with ARCOR™
S-30 or ARCOR™ EE-15 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. Prime with ARCOR™ EE-10,
EE-11 or EE-15.
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 2 parts Base to 1
part Activator or by weight 100 grams base to 36.9 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 use good quality 1/8" nap
Plural Spray: .021.035 tip, 3,000-3,500 PSI, Heat to 130ºF Base,
110ºF Activator.
Airless Spray: .021.035 tip, 3,000-3,500 PSI(45:1). Use only
with in-line heater at 120º to 135ºF. (Caution: Short
Pot-Life)
Conventional Spray: Not Recommended
All spray equipment should emply traps to prevent water and oil
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 coating 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+ ,24º) 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 track-free, between 6-14 hours at 77ºF(25ºC). If
overcoat window is exceeded abrade surface with course
sandpaper, grinder or brush blast. By spray application recoat
between 2-14 hours at 77ºF. Full cure before immersion 72 hours
at 77ºF. Add 30 hours addition cure time for each 10ºF below
77ºF. Subtract 12 hours of cure time for each 10ºF above 77ºF.
Force Cure with heat for best performance for 4 hours at 200ºF
(93ºC), 12 hours at 150ºF (66ºC).
CLEAN UP: Clean tools
immediately after use with M.E.K. or similar. 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.
