Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Substrate & Surface Preparation
- Must be clean and dry. Any dirt, dust, oil, contaminants, loose rust or loose mil scale must be removed.
- Immersion Carbon Steel: Not Recommended
- Non-Immersion Carbon Steel: Minimum SSPC-SP3 Power tool Cleaning. For optimum performance SSPC- SP6 Commercial Blast, surface profile 1.5-3.0 Mil.
- Galvanized Steel: Not recommended
- Previously painted surfaces: Surface must be sufficiently roughened, either by abrasive blasting or mechanical abrasion. Surface must attain a minimum 3B rating in accordance with ASTM D3359 “X-Scribe” test. Apply a test patch to check compatibility, prior to primary application.
- Primer: APCO 245FP Universal Primer, 351 Epoxy Primer
- Application Equipment
Spray Application:
- Conventional: Pressure pot with dual regulators, 3/8” I.D. material hose, Binks 2001 Gun w/66 series nozzles and 565 needle.
- Airless: Graco 36:1 Min. 1⁄4” material line. Tip size .013. Output PSI- 3000-3600
Brush & Roller: Touch up only
- Brush: Natural Bristle
- Roller: 1⁄4” Nap cover with Phenolic Core
- Application
- Pre-application: Flush all equipment with thinner S100
- Temperature: Application range from 40F-110F surface temperature. Do not apply below 40F.
- Method: Apply one coat maintaining a wet edge to achieve a WFT of 4-6 Mils. Maximum performance will be achieved with two coats totaling 4-6 mils DFT. A critical recoat time may occur between 2 and 48 hours at room temperature. This may fluctuate depending on temperature and film thickness. Test small inconspicuous area first.
- Application Continued
Inspection: Visually inspect film to ensure adequate coverage.
Clean up & disposal: After use immediately flush all equipment with thinner S108 or M.E.K. Dispose of all containers, solvents and unused materials in accordance with all local, state and federal regulations.
Curing schedule: Times based upon 75°F
- Dry to touch: 6 hours
- Dry through: 18 hours
- Dry to cure: 48 hours
Dry times are greatly affected by weather conditions and film thickness.
