- Surface Preparation
Steel surfaces are to be abrasive blasted with chloride free abrasive. Exterior applications to SSPC SP-6 Commercial gray metal finish. Immersion applications to SSPC SP-5 White metal. Grind flat all burrs, weld seams, radius sharp edges. Fresh blasted surfaces to be primed with ARCOR™ EE-10 or ARCOR™ EE-31 or 31.1.
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.
- 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 35 grams activator. Mix thoroughly to produce an even colored and streak-free material.
- Application
By brush use medium to stiff bristle of sufficient quality that bristles do not pull out and stick in coating. Trim or tape to <1” nap.
98% Sulfuric, Aggressive Chemical Tank Linings and Secondary Containment Areas, Industrial Floorings. Excellent when Force Cure is not available.
Roller use good quality 1/8” nap, 1/4” on concrete.
Plural Spray use 0.017-0.019 tip, 2,000-2,500 PSI, Heat to 120ºF Base, 100ºF Activator.
Airless Spray use 0.017-0.021 tip, 2,000-2,500 PSI(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
- 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).
- Overcoat / Cure Time
By brush, roller or squeegee re-coat while material is still soft, but tack-free, between 1-12 hours at 77ºF (25ºC). If overcoat window is exceeded abrade surface with course sandpaper, grinder or brush blast. By spray application a single coat to 20 mils is recommended. For multiple coats, re-coat between 1-12 hours at 72ºF. Full cure before chemical immersion 72 hours at 72ºF. Add 12 hours additional cure time for each 10ºF below 72ºF. Subtract 12 hours of cure time for each 10ºF above 72ºF. Force Cure with heat for best performance for 4 hours at 150ºF (66ºC), 12 hours at 100ºF ( 38ºC).
- Clean Up
Clean tools immediately after use with M.E.K., Acetone, 98+% Isopropyl Alcohol or similar
