Mixing/Mix Ratio
Mix one part #CC1496 Activator to four parts epoxy (Part A). Hand or mechanically agitate being careful not to mix so fast that air is entrapped.
Thinning
- This coating is VOC compliant; only thin if permitted by federal, state and local regulations. If necessary, use Anchor #3905.
- This product can be applied by brush, roller or spray equipment. Coverage will vary depending on porosity of the surface and application technique. Allow for application losses due to overspray conditions and surface texture.
Brush
Use a high quality china bristle brush.
Roller
Use 3/8" or 1/2" synthetic nap cover.
Cleanup
Clean equipment thoroughly before and immediately after, using Anchor #3905.
Where To Use
Excellent adhesion and flexibility are obtained over ferrous and non-ferrous metals, floors, fiberglass, and or dry concrete.
Preparation & Priming
Surface Preparation
- New Work: For best performance on steel, the surface should be blasted to a minimum SSPC-SP6, including the removal of all mill scale. Prior to blasting, remove all flux and scab from the welding and grind smooth all rough weld seams and sharp edges. Remove any grease, oil or dirt with solvent or chemical cleaner before blasting. The surface must by dry. The surface should be coated as soon as possible to prevent flash rusting. For immersion service, a minimum surface preparation of SSPC-SP10 and a minimum dry film of 6 mils are recommended.
- Old Work: Prior to application, ensure that the substrate is free of any contaminants according to SSPC-SP1. All damaged areas should be repaired and existing paint should be in good condition. Test existing paint for lifting and if present, it must be removed or application of barrier primer must be used.
Finish Coats
Suitable topcoats include urethanes, industrial enamels or epoxies.

Safety & Health
- Safety Information
- Flammable liquid and vapor. Vapor harmful. Contains: methyl isobutyl ketone. Vapor harmful. May affect the brain or nervous system causing dizziness, headache or nausea. Causes nose, eye, skin and throat irritation. Harmful if swallowed. Notice: reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful or fatal.
- Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Vapors may cause flash fire. Do not smoke. Extinguish all flames and pilot lights, and turn off stoves, heaters, electric motors and other sources or ignition during use and until all vapors are gone. Prevent build-up of vapors by opening all windows and doors to achieve cross-ventilation. Use only with adequate ventilation. Do not breathe vapors or spray mist. Ensure fresh air entry during application and drying. If you experience eye watering, headache or dizziness or if air monitoring demonstrates vapor/mist levels are above applicable limits, wear an appropriate, properly fitted respirator (niosh approved) during and after application. Follow respirator manufacturer’s directions for respirator use. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep out of reach of children.
- If you scrape, sand or remove old paint, you may release lead dust. Lead is toxic. Exposure to lead dust can cause serious illness, such as brain damage, especially in children. Pregnant women should also avoid exposure. Wear a niosh-approved respirator to control lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a hepa vacuum and a wet mop.
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging
A one gallon kit consist of a 1 gallon container of epoxy 80% full and a 1 quart container of #CC1496 80% full. Mixing the #CC1496 into the epoxy container yields one mixed gallon. A five gallon kit consists of a 5 gallon container with four gallons of epoxy and a full 1 gallon container of #CC1496. Mixing the #CC1496 into the epoxy container yields five mixed gallons.
