Ply-Guard NS is a superb coating for steel and concrete materials in severe environments, with uses in the following areas:
- Chemical Resistant Industrial Flooring
- Heavy-Duty Coating for Chemical Plants, Refineries, Pulp and Paper Mills, and Sewage-Treatment Plants
- Marine Applications and Off-Shore Drilling Rigs/Platforms
- Ply-Guard NS can be used alone or as a topcoat over Polyset’s line of WB HRZS® water-based high-ratio zinc silicate products.
- Surface Preparation
Remove any oils, grease, loose dirt & particulate, weak sections, curing compounds, and existing coatings from the surface to be coated prior to application of Ply-Guard NS. Steel surfaces must be clean, sound & sandblasted to “Near White Metal” SSPC-10 finish immediately before application of Ply-Guard NS. After sandblasting, surface should be rinsed, vacuumed and dry prior to application. New concrete should be cured to 80% of design strength.
- Mixing
Stir individual components prior to mixing together. Mix only what may be applied during the pot life (4 hrs. max.). Mix according to specified mixing ratio. Allow 15 minute induction period to activate Ply-Guard NS before application.
- Spray Gun Equipment Recommendations
CONVENTIONAL: FLUID TIP SPRAY SHAPE Binks — Model 7E2 0.375” orifice Round or Fan (Atomization Pressure: 30 psi; Fluid Pressure: 25 psi) For conventional spray applications, use bottom feed outlet pressure pot
with dual regulators. Ply-Guard NS can also be applied by nylon/polyester
brush or 3/8” woven roller in limited applications.
