- Application Equipment Guidelines
Listed below are general equipment guidelines for the application of this product. Job site conditions may require modifications to these guidelines to achieve the desired results.
Spray Application (General) - This is a 100% solids coating and may require adjustments in spray techniques. Wet film thickness is easily and quickly achieved. The following spray equipment has been found suitable and is available from manufacturers such as Binks, DeVilbiss and Graco.
- Diameter of Whip: 1/4 - 3/8” ID
- Length of Whip: 20 feet
- Power Ratio Pump: 56:1 or greater
- Static Mixer: 2 x 1/2" ID x 12" in length behind mixing valve
- Part A Temperature: 130 - 135°F in reservoir tank
- Part B Temperature: 90 - 95°F in reservoir tank
Airless Spray Single Leg or Hot Pot
- Pump Size: 56:1 or greater
- Hose Length/Diameter: 50 ft x 3/8"
- Whip Length/Diameter: 10 ft x 1/4"
- Work Life, 4 gallons at 32°C (90°F):
- No Thinner: 25 minutes
- 3 - 5% Thinner: 35 - 40 minutes
*Part A resin and Part B hardener should be heated individually to 75 - 85°F before mixing so product will atomize properly in delivering paint to the substrate. Mixed product should
be sprayed within 20 minutes after mixing.Brush & Roller (General) - This material may be applied with brush or roller. Be aware of working life when using brush or roller application.
- Brush - Use a medium bristle brush.
- Roller - Use a short-nap synthetic roller cover with phenolic core.
- Mixing & Thinning
Power mix part A resin separately, then add part B hardener and power mix.
Thinning
- Spray: Up to 6.5 oz/gal (5%) w/ Acetone or Xylene
- Brush: Up to 16 oz/gal (12%) w/ Acetone or Xylene
- Roller: Up to 16 oz/gal (12%) w/ Acetone or Xylene
Pot Life
- 30 minutes at 25°C (77°F)
- 15 minutes at 33°C (92°F)
*Do not keep the blended coating in the original container unless immediate use is planned. Otherwise, exothermic heat created during the curing process will considerably shorten the pot life. Pour the coating into a rolling tray or directly onto the surface. Try to keep the depth of the coating in the tray below 3/8"
- Mix Ratio
3-1 Part A to Part B by volume.
- Cleanup
Use MEK or Acetone. In case of spillage, absorb and dispose of in accordance with local applicable regulations.
