ARCOR EE-72
GENERIC TYPE: AMINE CURED 100% SOLIDS EPOXY TOPCOAT FOR CONCRETE
DESCRIPTION AND RECOMMENDED USES: ARCOR™ EE-72 is a solvent free, high functionality epoxy Novolac coating suitable as a self-leveling flooring, particularly in aggressive environments with exposure to acids and alkalis. ARCOR™ EE-72 produces a tough, chemical resistant coating on concrete, ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Use of Reactive Flexibilizing agents gives excellent flexibility without sacrificing chemical resistance making EE-72 ideal for concrete or metal floors with thermal, design or structural stress, without the need for fiberglass mat reinforcement. High abrasion resistance in an easy to clean surface. ARCOR™ EE-72 is suitable for hand or spray application at up to 100 mils per coat.

REVISED 5/2017
SEE MATERIAL 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™ EE-72 or ARCOR™ EE-80 to prevent oxidation of surface.
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 & ground to remove then entire floor is to be abrasive blasted to remove all existing coating, mastics and laitenance. Clean & grind all cracks & expansion joints. Thoroughly sweep & vacuum.
Prime entire floor with ARCOR™ EE-80, EE-10 or EE-72.
MIXING:
Thoroughly mix Activator into Base with mixing stick or drill with low speed mixing blade scraping sides and bottom of container or mix• ing board. Mix by Volume 2 parts Base to 1-part Activator. Or by weight 100 grams base to 40 grams activator. Mix thoroughly to pro• duce an even colored and streak-free material.
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 110°F Base, 100°F Activator.
Airless Spray: .019-.027 tip, 3,000-3,500 PSI (45: 1). (Caution: Short Pot-Life)
Conventional Spray: Not Recommended unless experience user..
All spray equipment should employ traps to prevent water and oil from contaminating coating and screens to prevent particulate con•tamination.
APPLICATION TEMPERATURE:
Material: Keep between 55 to 95°F (17 to 35°C). Substrate: Keep between 45 to 105°F (7 to 40°C). The difference in temperature of the substrate and the material should never exceed 10°F(5°C). Substrate shall be a minimum of 5°F(3°C) 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 (75°F+, 24°C) 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 6-14 hours at 77°F(25°C). If overcoat window is exceeded abrade surface with course sandpaper, grinder or brush blast. By spray application recoat between 2-14 hours at 77°F. Full cure before immersion 72 hours at 77°F. Add 30 hours additional cure time for each 10°F below 77°F. Subtract 12 hours of cure time for each 10°F above 77°F. Force Cure with heat for best performance for 4 hours at 200°F(93°C), 12 hours at 150°F(66°C).
CLEAN UP:
Clean tools immediately after use with M.E.K., Acetone or similar.98+% isopropyl Alcohol can be used in solvent restricted areas.
