Chemical Resistance
When applied over suitable primers or intermediate coats, Endcor 4600C series polyester-urethane coating provides excellent resistance to salt spray and a wide range of chemicals including inorganic acids, alkalis, salt solutions, fresh, salt, and waste water. Resistance to gasoline and other fuels and lubricants is excellent. Solvent resistance is good.

Primer Required
Can be applied over properly primed concrete, ferrous and non-ferrous metal substrates. Depending upon type of exposure and service conditions suitable primers include Endcor 4934C Aluminum Urethane, Endcor 700 and 750C Epoxy, Protexior 795, Endcor 835 and Thurmalox 837 Hybrid Inorganic Zinc. Consult Dampney for specific recommendations. Galvanized and aluminum surfaces must be pretreated with Endcor 400 Wash Primer. Concrete surfaces must first be sealed with Endcor 750C epoxypolyamide or Endcor 793 100% solids epoxy primer
- Not Recommended
- Exposure to strong solvents - aromatic, chlorinated, ketone, ester
- Exposure to acetic acid and oxidizing acids
- Immersion service
- Surface Preparation
Follow surface preparation directions in Dampney primer bulletins. Endcor 4600C is designed as a finish coat for suitably primed surfaces.
Mixing
Before opening containers and mixing Base and Activator components, note pot life limitations listed below. Endcor 4600 is a two component system consisting of a base component and activator that are mixed together before use. The mix ratio is 5:1 for all colors except aluminum which is 6:1. Mix components separately, then combine and mix thoroughly with power agitator before use. IMPORTANT: Activator is extremely moisture sensitive. Only open containers just before mixing with base component. Keep containers tightly closed during storage. Cover paint pot after mixing and keep covered during application to prevent overexposure to atmospheric moisture, particularly in conditions of high humidity. Do not mix more than can be used during pot life period.
- Application Guidelines
Apply by either conventional or airless spray, brush, or roller. Coating has excellent flow out and leveling properties.Apply only over clean, dry recommended primers, seal coats, intermediate coats, or previously painted surfaces.
Application Equipment
Brush : Do not use plastic or nylon bristle brushes.
Roller : Solvent resistant type ¼”-3/8” (6-9 mm) nap with phenolic core. Keep roller thoroughly saturated to obtain correct film thickness and avoid pulling. Do not squeegee or apply excessive pressure.

Thinning
Thin only with Dampney 162 Thinner. Substitute solvents may contain traces of water which will cause bubbling and rapid gellation of polyurethane coatings, or alcohols which will inhibit curing. Conventional Spray, Brush or Roller: If required, use up to 1 pint maximum of Dampney 162 Thinner per gallon.
Airless Spray : Thinning is not usually required. If atomizing difficulty is required reduce viscosity by addition of up to 1/2 pint of Dampney 162 Thinner per gallon.
Drying Time
Coating will set up dry-to-touch in 12 hours at 70°F (21°C) and will dry hard in 24 hours.
Recoat Time
Surface must be clean and dry at time of recoating. Allow 12 hours minimum drying time between coats of Endcor 4600C at 70°F (21°C), 8 hours at 90°F (32°C). Recoat within 24 hours maximum at 70°F (21°C). Recoat primers in accordance with time limitations stated in applicable primer products bulletin.
Pot Life
Pot life is 2 hours at 77°F (25°C) and 50% relative humidity. Pot life varies with temperature and humidity and decreases as temperature and humidity increase. For limitations see Technical Data section. Do not apply to primer that has aged beyond recommended time limits.
Cleanup
Thoroughly flush spray equipment and hoses immediately after use with Dampney 162 Thinner. Dismantle spray equipment and clean dismantled parts, brushes, and rollers with Dampney 162 Thinner. Other approved cleanup solvents include MEK, MIBK, Xylene or Toluene.

- Note
*Actual coverage rate will vary depending upon material losses during mixing and application, and upon type and condition of surface to be coated. Allowances must be made for losses when estimating material requirements. See Bulletin 3110 “Calculating Coating Requirement” for additional information.

Safety & Health
- Precautionary Information
Warning : Flammable Liquid and Vapor Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Vapors may cause flash fire. Do not breathe vapors or spray mist. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Use with adequate ventilation during mixing and application. Wear an appropriate, properly fitted organic vapor cartridge-type respirator (NIOSH approved) during and after application unless air monitoring demonstrates vapor/mist levels are below applicable limits. Follow respirator manufacturer’s directions for respirator use. Wash thoroughly after handling. Wear protective gloves, chemical safety goggles and impervious protective clothing. Use skin cream. In confined spaces it is required to use a positive pressure supplied-air respirator (NIOSH approved). Use explosion-proof lights and electrical equipment. Use only nonsparking tools and equipment. Wear conductive and nonsparking footwear. Make certain all electrical equipment is grounded.
