- Installation Guide
- Surfaces to be coated must be clean and dry.
- Use a dry rag to remove any oil, grease, and dirt before cable coating application.
- Mix DC 6150 cable coating thoroughly with a power agitator before application.
- Thinner is normally not required.
- If necessary, use potable water (3% max.) to adjust viscosity.
- Water is also used for tools and spray machine cleaning.
- Coating can be applied using airless spray equipment in a single pass not more than 0.8 - 0.9 mm (wet coating thickness) to prevent slumping.
- Surface shall be measured using a wet film thickness gage.
- If applying coating by brush or roller, it may be required to apply thinner coats to prevent slumping.
- The coating should be applied when the site temperature is between 4°C and 40°C.
- The temperature must be maintained until the coating has fully dried.
- Recommended coating thickness on cables: 2.5 mm WFT results in 1.6 mm dry.
- Verify the DFT by using calipers to measure the cable before coating and once the coating has fully dried.
- Do not allow the coating material to remain in hoses, guns, or spray equipment.
- Clean all equipment with water immediately after use.
- All unused coating should be stored in a tightly closed container.
- Surface skinning may show in a partially filled container.
- The estimated quantity of DC6 150 can be calculated as = Width of the cable X number of cables X Pi X Length of the cable tray or the length of the cable X 2.5 mm (thickness of the wet film. X 1.20 (20% wastage).
- All coating approved by FM3971 must be applied at 1.6 mm DFT.
- Uses
