Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Application Area
- 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.
- Topcoats: APCO 231, APCO 220
- 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 .011-.013 Output PSI- 3000
Brush & Roller: Touch up only
- Brush: Natural Bristle
- Roller: 1⁄4” Nap cover with Phenolic Core
- Mixing & Thinning
- Components: One
- Mixing: Mix to uniform consistency and color. Frequent stirring is required to keep aluminum pigments suspended.
- Thinning: Normally not required
- Spray: Up to 12 oz/gal with S100 if necessary
- Application
- Pre-application: Flush all equipment with thinner S100 or xylene
- Temperature: Application range from 50°F-110°F surface temperature. Do not apply below 50°F.
- 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.
- Application Continued
Inspection: Visually inspect film to ensure adequate coverage.
Clean up & disposal: After use immediately flush all equipment with thinner S100 or xylene. 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: 30 minutes
- Dry to recoat: before 2 hours
- Dry through: 24 hours
A critical re-coat 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. Dry times are greatly affected by weather conditions and film thickness.
