New Surfaces (vertical) use with modified Part-A 40 - 90 mils 3/4" nap 1-3 coats 50-100 mils per coat
Re-Surfaced (horizontal) 20-40 mils 3/8"-3/4" nap 1-3-coats 25-50 mils per coat

The following conditions generally apply to surfaces to be coated, unless directly specified. The surface must be dry clean (no oils or grease) and free of any dust or any type of loose materials that will impair bonding to the substrate. Always check the test substrate for adhesion performance prior to applying the product. The CM 6007 Epoxy HS Coating (Polyamide Filled System) is recommended to be used as-is. If thinning is required, add CM Thinsol to a maximum of 10% by volume only. DO NOT THIN WITH ANY OTHER SOLVENTS, doing so shall void warranty if contaminated/mixed with unapproved material. New Surface Preparations:
- (a) Steel – preparation for immersion service requires abrasive blasting according to SSPC-SP10 with jagged blast profile and not peened ideally at 2 mils. Preparation for non-immersion service requires standard commercial blasting according to SSPC-SP6.
- (b) Concrete – Concrete must be free from moisture to ensure proper adhesion. A minimum of 28-days curing is recommended prior to coating or with moisture not exceeding 2% as measured according to ASTM F2659.
- (c) Composite Materials / Other Surfaces – Please contact our technical sales representatives for recommended surface preparations. MIXING INSTRUCTIONS: The CM 6007 Epoxy HS Coating (Polyamide Filled System) comes in kits of Part A and Part B components and is proportioned to be mixed together until the appearance of the mixture is consistently homogenous. IMPORTANT: Mix contents of Part A separately, prior into mixing with Part B. Ratio: Part A to Part B (1:1 by volume) or Part A to Part B (1:1.4 parts by weight) If necessary to thin the viscosity, add 10% max volume of CM Thinsol. Do not change the volume ratio of Part A & B component, all material in the container must be mixed together prior to use. Allow the material to stand for 5 minutes before use. A drop-in viscosity may be initially observed, apply the material according to pot-life condition. Pot-Life: 2-hours at 77 °F; 1-1.5 hours at 95°F; (Note: Longer pot-life is observed at cooler temperatures.) End of pot-life nears when viscosity thickens and begins to sag during application.
Product Application
The material can be brushed, rolled or sprayed onto the substrate. For spray applications, the product can be applied either by spray atomization or airless techniques. Please begin with recommended spray pressure application and optimize when desired coating is achieved when using either fan or cone tips.
- Airless or Assisted Air Sprayers: Select appropriate equipment capable to set pump ratio at 30:1 or higher, material supply line of ½” ID and air line of 3/8” ID, and minimum atomizing pressure of 2,000 PSI. The minimum suggested tip-size to use 0.023” up to 0.035” The spray unit must be cleaned as soon as possible immediately after use with regular cleaning solvent, such as Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) or Acetone for effective cleaning.
- Conventional Sprayers: Select appropriate equipment with regulator and air gages, material supply line of ½” ID and air line of 3/8” ID, and air supply line of 80 to 100 PSI. The minimum suggested tip-size to use 0.070” or larger. Maintain enough air pressure to keep fluid pressure low to deliver good spray-ability and coverage on every pass. The spray unit must be cleaned as soon as possible immediately after use with regular cleaning solvent, such as Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) or Acetone for effective cleaning.
- Roller and Brush: Use synthetic materials (solvent resistant), short-nap for rollers and medium to heavy bristles for brushes. Avoid applying excessive coating and maintain consistent stroke application, preferably in one direction for uniformity; several or multiple coats of brushing and rolling maybe necessary, to achieve desired film thickness.

Storage & Handling
- Storage & Disposal
- The product must be stored in a cool and dry place, always seal container after using. The shelflife of the “unmixed” resin products are 2-year at 77°F storage condition and could be longer on less humid conditions. Avoid allowing the material to freeze and tightly seal all containers.
- Empty containers must be disposed according to your local city, state, and federal guidelines. Do not throw liquid portions to any drains, avoid spills, and always protect the environment.
