Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Application Method
- Surface Preparation
General
- Substrates must be clean and surface dry with no oils, grease or loose debris.
- CIM Bonding Agent is recommended on all non-porous substrates.
- Perform adhesion tests to confirm adequacy of surface preparation.
Concrete
- ICRI-CSP 4-6 surface profile exposing aggregate.
- Concrete must exhibit minimum 3,000 psi compressive strength and be free of release agents and curing compounds.
- The substrate must be clean, surface dry and free of contaminates.
Steel
- Minimum 3 mil profile.
- Immersion service – SSPC-SP10 / NACE No. 2 Near White Blast.
- Non-Immersion service – SSPC-SP6 / NACE No. 3 Commercial Blast.
- Use CIM Bonding Agent for greater adhesion.
Other Metals
SSPC-SP1 solvent clean and abrade substrate to roughen and degloss the surface.
Glass
Thoroughly clean. CIM Bonding Agent must be used for increased adhesion. For immersion service roughen the surface
WoodSubstrate must be clean, surface dry and free of surface contamination.
Previous Coatings and Linings
CIM 1000 Trowel Grade may be applied over some existing coatings and linings and achieve acceptable performance. CIM Bonding Agent is recommended for greater adhesion. Finished system results vary due to a variety of project specific factors, including the service conditions to which the system is exposed. Therefore, C.I.M. Industries does not accept responsibility for determining the suitability of an existing coating and lining as a substrate for CIM products. Owner shall perform adhesion tests on any existing coating or lining to determine suitability.
Earth : Use CIM Scrim. Must be plural component spray applied.
ColorCIM 1000 Trowel Grade is initially shiny black, turning dull over 3 to 6 months when exposed to direct sunlight.
- Temperature Conditions
Surface should be at least 50°F (10°C) and must be 5°F (3°C) above the dew point. Do not apply when the substrate or ambient temperature is rising or coating is in direct sunlight. CIM 1000 Trowel Grade should be at least 60°F (15°C) when mixed and applied. CIM 1000 Trowel Grade may be preheated to facilitate application at low temperatures, but working time will be reduced.
- Mixing
DO NOT THIN. DO NOT HAND MIX. Begin mixing each pail (4.0 gal.) of CIM 1000 Trowel Grade Premix using a power mixer (e.g. 1/ 2” drill and an eight inch mud mixer.) Do not draw air into the mix. While mixing, slowly add one jug (0.5 gal.) of CIM 1000 Activator to the pail and mix thoroughly for 3 full minutes. The proportions are pre-measured. DO NOT ESTIMATE. Do not use CIM Mixing Jigs when mixing CIM 1000 Trowel Grade.
- Application
CIM 1000 Trowel Grade can be applied at 60 mils in one coat. For thicker applications, mixed material should be allowed to build viscosity for several minutes before attempting
to apply.Equipment
CIM 1000 Trowel Grade is best applied with trowel or brush. CIM 1000 Trowel Grade will not self level. CIM 1000 Trowel Grade may be sprayed with a properly configured plural
component spray system.Priming
Porous substrates such as wood and concrete may be primed with CIM Epoxy Primer to minimize outgassing. The maximum recoat window for CIM Epoxy Primer is 48 hours. See
CIM Epoxy Primer Technical Data Sheet for additional information. Perform adhesion tests to confirm adequacy of adhesion to primer.Recoating
CIM 1000 Trowel Grade may be recoated in 1 hour and must be recoated soon after the coating no longer comes off on polyethylene (typically within 4 hours of mixing.) If the coating has cured longer than this time, the surface must be severely abraded using surface grinder or other mechanical means, and be free of dust and debris. Apply CIM Bonding Agent no more than 1 hour prior to recoating. Apply all coats within the recoat window except at joint lines. Contact C.I.M. Industries for recoat window when using CIM 1000 Trowel Grade on cant strips and expansion joints.
Recommended Minimum ThicknessRecommended minimum thickness of the coating is 60 wet mils. Additional thickness may be specified, but extended time is required to insure proper solvent release prior to placing the liner in potable water service.
Curing TimeBefore placing the coating into potable water service or similar applications, allow sufficient time for solvents to release from the coating. The required time for a 60 wet mil coating is two weeks at 60°F (15°C) and varies depending upon liner thickness and substrate temperature.
DisinfectionCIM 1000 Trowel Grade coating must be washed, rinsed, and disinfected in accordance with C.I.M. Industries Instruction Guide “Decontamination or Washing Procedures for Potable Water Tank and Fish Pond Service” (IG–10).
Clean-up- Use mineral spirits for clean-up of uncured material. Cured material is very difficult to remove.
- Soaking in solvent will soften the material and may assist in its removal.
- Pot Life
Less than 20 minutes. Working time depends on temperature and method of application.
