Uses
  • Tank linings.
  • Chemical resistant coating.
  • Can be used as saturant for QuakeWrap® fabrics.
Coverage
  • Applied at a thickness of 20 mils results in 80 ft² per gallon.
  • Rough and uneven surfaces result in lower yields.
Application Equipment
  • Paint roller with ¼” nap.
  • Use only naps which are approved for use with epoxies.
Surface Preparation
  • Substrate surfaces must be structurally sound and free from contaminants such as dust, oil, and dirt.
  • Surfaces must be shot blasted, abrasively ground, hydro-blasted or mechanically abraded to achieve the required surface profile.
  • Freestanding water must be removed.

Steel:

  • Immersion Service: SSPC-SP10 near-white blast cleaning with 3.0 mil profile.
  • Non-Immersion Service: SSPC-SP6 - commercial blast cleaning with 2.0 mil profile.
Mixing
  • Thorough and complete mixing is critical; a jiffy mixer is recommended.
  • First, mix each component separately.
  • The proportion of each component at the appropriate ratio by weight (A:B ratio of 100:42).
  • Pour the hardener (Part B) into the Resin (Part A) and mix at 400 - 600 RPM for 3 - 5 minutes.
  • Use an up and down motion, scraping the mixing container sides and bottom.
  • Mix no more material than may be applied in 15 minutes.
Cleanup
  • Collect with absorbent material, flush with water.
  • Clean up using acetone or other ketone solvents.
  • Dispose waste in accordance with local disposal regulations.
  • Cured materials can only be removed mechanically.
Limitations
  • Do not apply to concrete still in the curing process.
  • Do not apply to substrates at a temperature less than 50°F (10°C).
