SURFACE PREPARATION:
Immersion: remove oil, grease, surface contamination, loose
rust, scale and any old coating. Although designed for use in
less than ideal surface preparation it is preferred that one
strive to attain as close to an SSPC SP-5, in as many areas as
possible, to achieve the best long term performance of the
overall coating system. At a minimum an SP-6 is required. In all
cases a 3-5 mil profile is required dry: Remove all oil, grease,
surface contamination, loose rust, scale, and any old coating.
Although designed for use in less than ideal surface preparation
the best long term performance is attained with S-6 cleanliness
at 2-3 mil profile.
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. Sandblasting and/or
scarification may be recommended depending on surface. 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. Mix by Volume 3 parts Base to 1 part Activator. Mix
thoroghly to produce an even colored and streak-free material.
THINNING: Never thin.
APPLICATION:
Brush: medium stiff bristle of sufficient quality that bristles
do not pull out and stick in coating.
Roller use good quality 1/4”-3/8" nap.
Plural Spray: Not recommended
Airless Spray: Not Recommended
Conventional Spray: Graco #700 or #800 spray gun with suitable
needle/nozzle and air cap combinations. ARCOR™ EE-80 applies
best at low air and pot pressure, 5-10 PSI.
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(13 to 35ºC). Substrate : Keep
between 45 to 105ºF(7 to 40ºC). The difference in temperature of
the substrate 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 surfaces. 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 20-35 seconds for 1 KG unit or 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 12-36 hours at 77ºF (25ºC). If over
coat window is exceeded abrade surface with course sandpaper,
grinder or brush blast. By spray application recoat between 2-36
hours at 77ºF. Full cure before immersion 7 Days at 77ºF. Add 2
days additional cure time for each 10ºF below 77ºF. Subtract 18
hours of cure time for each 10ºF above 77ºF.
CLEAN UP: Clean tools
immediately after use with M.E.K. or similar. Isopropyl Alcohol
can be used in a solvent restricted area.
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.
