Surface Preparation

General

  • Substrates must be clean and surface dry with no oils, grease or loose debris.
  • 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.

Other Metals

SSPC-SP1 solvent clean and abrasive blast to roughen and degloss the surface. Use CIM Bonding Agent for greater adhesion.

Glass

Thoroughly clean. ClIM Bonding Agent must be used for increased adhesion. For immersion service roughen the surface.

Previous Coatings and Linings

CIM 1061 may be applied over some existing coatings and linings and achieve acceptable performance. CIM Bonding Agent is recommended for greater adhesIon. inished system results vary due to a variety of project specitic tactors, including the service conditions to which the system is exposed. Iherefore, .I.M. Industries does not accept responsibility for determining the suitability of an existing coating or lining as a substrate for CIM products. Owner shall perform adhesion tests on any existing coating or lining to etermine suitability.

Earth : Use CIM Scrim

Color

CIM 1061 is initially shiny black, turning dull over 3 to 6 months when exposed to direct sunlight. For a colored or reflecting surface finish.

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 1061 should be at least 60°F (15°C) when mixed and applied. ClM 1061 may be preheated to faciltate application at low temperatures, but working time will be reduced.

Mixing

DO NOT THIN. DO NOT HAND MIX. Begin mixing each pail (4.4 gal.) of CIM 1061 Premix using a pOwer mixer (e.g. 2 drill and an eight inch mud mixer). Do not draw air into the mix. While mixing, slowly add one jug (0.6 gal.) of CIM 1061 Activator to the pail and mix thoroughly for 3 full minutes. The proportions are premeasured; DO NOT ESTIMATE. Mixing Jigs and Timers from C.I.M. Industries help eliminate mixing errors and increase productivity on the job.

Application

Apply CIM 1061 directly to a clean and dry substrate. Vertical surfaces will require multiple coats. 

Equipment

Spray equipment requires large diameter hose and air supplied mastic gun or plural component spray equipment. Roller, squeegee, and trowel may also be used.

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 the CIM Epoxy Primer lechnical Data sheet for additional intormation. Pertorm adhesion tests to confirm adequacy of adhesIon to primer.

Recoating

CIM 1061 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. Use CIM Bonding Agent for better adhesion. For immersion conditions, all coats shall be applied within four hours of each other, except at joint lines.

Recommended Minimum Thickness

Recommended 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 service.

Curing Time

Before 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 co0ating is
two weeks at 60°F (15°C) and varies depending upon coating thickness and substrate temperature. For many other applications, CIM 1061 may be placed into service in 24 hours.
.
Disinfection

CIM 1061 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. Spray equipment must be flushed regularly during application to prevent material from setting up in the hose and pump. Cured
material is very difficult to remove. Soaking in solvent will soften the material and may assist in its removal.
