SEE MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET BEFORE HANDLING THIS PRODUCT

SURFACE PREPARATION: Interior surfaces are to be abrasive blasted with chloride free abrasive such as Aluminum Oxide, Garnet to SSPC SP-10 Near-White metal 1 to 2 mil profile. TC-1100 is self-priming. It is advised that all tubes be thoroughly flushed with clean water to clean and neutralize, then dried, prior to abrasive blasting. TC-7200 can be used as a primer for aggressive applications.

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 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: .015-.021 tip, 3,500-4,500 PSI, Heat to 150ºF Base, 100ºF Activator. Use 30 mesh screens. Heated hose @ 120-140ºF. Airless Spray: .017-.025 tip, 4,000-4,500 PSI (45:1). Use only with in-line heater at 120º to 140ºF.(Caution: Short Pot-Life) Conventional Spray: Not Recommended.

All spray equipment should employ traps to prevent water and oil from contaminating coating and 30 mesh screens to prevent particu- late 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 6-14 hours at 77ºF(25ºC). If the 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. or similar. 98% 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.
