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 surfaces to be primed immediately with
ARCOR S-30 Prime to prevent oxidation of surface.
Concrete surfaces : 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® S-30 ,
ARCOR® ARCRETE (unfilled) or ARCOR® EE-70, EE-79 or ARCOR® EE-10.
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: good quality 1/8" nap.
Plural Spray: .027-.035 tip, 4,000-4,500 PSI, Heat to 130ºF
Base, 110ºF Activator.
Airless Spray: .031-.035 tip, 4,000-4,500 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 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 6-10 hours at 77ºF(25ºC). If overcoat window is exceeded
abrade surface with course sandpaper, grinder or brush blast. By
spray application recoat between 2-10 hours at 77ºF. Full cure
before immersion 72 hours at 77ºF. Add 1 day additional cure
time for each 10ºF below 77ºF. Subtract 15 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: M.E.K. or similar
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.
