- Surface Preparation
Steel surfaces are to be abrasive blasted with chloride free abrasive. Exterior applications to SSPC SP-10 Near White 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™ S-30 Prime.
Concrete surfaces : Not Recommended for hand or roller application. Apply by heated plural or airless spray only. 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, 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. Mix by Volume 2 parts Base to 1 part Activator. Or by weight 100 grams base to 52 grams activator.
- 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.
- Roller use good quality 1/8” nap.
- Plural Spray use 0.019-0.021 tip, 3,000-3,500 PSI, Heat to 130ºF Base, 110ºF Activator.
- Airless Spray use0 .019-0.021 tip, 3,000-3,500 PSI(45:1). Recommended only with in-line heater at 120º to 135ºF.(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 (13 to 35ºC). Substrate : Keep between 45 to 105ºF (7 to 40ºC). The difference in temperature of the substrate and the coating should never exceed 10ºF ( 5ºC).
- Overcoat / Cure Time
By Brush or Roller recoat between 6 and 8 hours at 72ºF (25ºC). When spraying recoat between 5 and 8 hours. Full cure before immersion 3 Days at 77ºF. Force Cure: 12 hours at 150ºF (66ºC); 6 hours at 250ºF (121ºC).
- Clean Up
Clean tools immediately after use with M.E.K., Acetone, 98+% Isopropyl Alcohol or similar
