APPLICATION
Data
Sheet | Product Application
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. Grind
flat all burrs, weld seams, radius sharp edges. Fresh blasted
surfaces to be primed with ARCOR™ EE-10, EE-71, EE-78 or EE-79..
Concrete surfaces should be
degreased if oil and grease contamination is present. Degreased
surface shall be high pressure washed. Loose existing coatings
should be chipped and ground to remove them entire floor is to
be abrasive blasted to remove all existing coating. Prime entire
floor with ARCOR™ EE-10, EE-71, EE-78 or EE-79.
MIXING:
Thoroughly mix Activator into Base with mixing stick or drill
with low speed mixing blade. Mix by Volume 2 parts Base to 1
part Activator or by weight 100 grams base to 36.9 grams
activator.
THINNING: Never thin.
APPLICATION:
Squeegee: heavy duty rubber 'notched' squeegee
Roller: good quality 1' nap
Plural Spray: .017-.025 tip, 3,000-3,500 PSI, Heat to 110ºF
Base, 100ºF Activator.
Airless Spray: .019-.027 tip, 3,000-3,500 PSI(45:1). (Caution:
Short Pot Life)
Conventional Spray: Not Recommended
All spray equipment should emplly traps to prevent water and oil
from contaminating coating and screens to prevent particulate
contamination.
APPLICATION TEMPERATURE:
Material: Keep between 55 to 95ºF (13 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+, 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 only. If necessary let
material cool before application.
OVERCOAT / CURE TIME:
By Brush or Roller, or squeege recoat while material is still
soft, but tack-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 additional 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. Acetone 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.
