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-6 white metal 3 to 5 mil profile. Grind all burrs, weld seems, radius sharp edges. Fresh blasted surfaces to be primed immediately with ARCOR™ S-30 Prime to prevent oxidation of surface.
Concrete surfaces should be degreased if oil and grease contamination is present. Degreased surface shall be high pres- sure washed, acid etched and high pressure washed again so surface is clean and free of all grease and oils and surface laitance. Existing coatings should be abrasive blasted to clean concrete. Prime with ARCOR™ ARCRETE(unfilled), ARCOR™ EE-71 or ARCOR™ EE-10.
- 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 part Base to 1 part Activator. Or by weight 100 gm Base to 53 gm Activator. Mix thoroughly to produce an even colored and streak-free material.
- Application
- Use heavy plastic squeegee, putty knife or caulk gun. Water Box /Tube Sheet Expansion Joints, Crack Repair, Abrasion Protection, Cavitation Protection, Concrete.
- 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). Substrate shall be a minimum of 5ºF (3ºC) above dew point. Do not apply if relative humidity exceeds 90%. If necessary heat metal prior to surface preparation using electric heater or heat lamp. Never use gas, oil or kerosene heaters as they will leave a greasy residue on metal surface. For best results keep all material in warm area overnight (75ºF+, 24ºC) for ease of mixing. If necessary base component of material can be heated by microwave for 30-45 seconds for a 1 KG Base unit or by warm water bath. Heat activator by warm water bath only. If necessary let material cool before application.
- Overcoat / Cure Time
- Re-coat between 6 and 12 hours at 77ºF (25ºC).Add 1 day additional cure time for each 10ºF below 77ºF. Subtract 15 hours of cure time for each 10ºF above 77ºF. Full cure before immersion 72 hours at 77ºF. Force Cure: 12 hours at 120ºF (49ºC).
- Clean Up
Clean tools immediately after use with M.E.K., Acetone, 98+% Isopropyl Alcohol or similar
