INTENDED USES
- Recommended as a protective coating for new construction industrial and marine facilities, or as a field maintenance primer over bare metal surfaces.
- Drew 54 Series may be overcoated with epoxy or urethane top coats.
DRY TIMES
Normally there is no overcoating limit provided that the surface is free from chalking and other contaminates prior to application. To insure the best intercoat adhesion it is recommended that you apply the subsequent coat before the preceding coat has fully cured.Substrate Temperature Tack Free Dry to Recoat Minimum Dry to Recoat Maximum
50°F 2 Hourss 16 Hours 7 days 77°F 35 minutes 6 Hours 7 days 95°F 20 minutes 4 Hours 7 days
SURFACE PREPARATION- Surfaces that are to be coated must be clean, dry and free of surface contaminants.
- For best performance steel should be blast cleaned to an SSPC-SP6 Commercial Blast Cleaning.
MIXING
- Drew 54 Series is supplied in a 2 component product, 4:1 mix ratio, stir separate components thoroughly before mixing together. Combine base and catalyst, using a powered drill mixer mix activated material for 2-3 minutes. Do not activate more material than you can use within the stated pot life.
- Induction Time – 15 minutes @ 70°F before using mixed material.
- Colder temperatures will require longer induction times.
THINNING
- Do not exceed regulatory limits
- Brush/Roll – Not normally required, recommended no more than 10% reduction with 8017 Epoxy Reducer.
- Airless Spray – If required 5-10% of 8017 Epoxy Reducer (½ pint per gallon)
- Conventional – Reduce up to 20% or as needed with 8017 Epoxy Reducer.
APPLICATION
- Airless – recommended tip sizes (.017-.021)
- Air Assisted Airless – Kremlin Model 17:35 or larger, MX Gun
- Conventional – Binks Model 2001 or equivalent HVLP – Binks Model Mach 1
- Brush/Roll – Thinning may be necessary
