SAFETY DATA SHEET BEFORE HANDLING THIS PRODUCT
SURFACE PREPARATION: Metal surfaces are to
be cleaned and degreased then abrasive blasted with chloride
free abrasive. Exterior applications to SSOPC SP-10 Near white
finish minimum 3 mil profile. Immersion applications to SSPC
SP-5 White metal, 3 to 5 mil profile. Grind flat all burrs, weld
seams, radius sharp edges. Fresh blasted surfaces to be rebuilt
as quickly as possible to prevent oxidation of the surface and
allow time for proper rebuilding of the damaged area.
MIXING:
Thoroughly mix Activator into Base with mixing stick
scraping sides and bottom of container or mixing board. Mix by
volume 2 parts Base to 1 part Activator or, by weight 3 parts
Base to 1 part Activator. Mix thoroughly to produce and even
colored, streak-free material.
THINNING: Never thin.
APPLICATION:
Use heavy plastic squeege or putty knife. Work material into
profile of substrate to achieve maximum adhesive and to remove
any entrapped air. Contour to correct form with putty knife or
plastic applicator. If mold or form is used be sure to coat its
surface with a release agent to prevent adhesion of the
material. Machining is possible using diamond tipped tools only.
Grinding is possible only if done within 2 hours of application
at 77ºF (add 1 hour for each 10ºF below 77ºF, subtract 1/2 hour
for each 10ºF above 77ºF).
APPLICATION TEMPERATURE:
Material: keep between 55 and 95ºF (17-35ºC). Substrate: keep
between 45-105ºF (7-40ºC). 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
the 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+) 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:
Recoat as soon as possible while material is still soft, within
2 hours at 77ºF. 25ºC. If overcoat window is exceeded abrade
surface with course sandpaper, grinder or brush blast. Full cure
before immersion 36 hours at 77ºF. Force Cure with heat for best
performance for 1 hour at 200ºF, 93ºC, 12 hours at 120ºF, 49ºC.
CLEAN UP: Clean tools immediately after use
with Acetone, M.E.K.. Use ARCLEAN or Isopropyl Alcohol in
solvent controlled environments.
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.
