- Uses
- Pipelines.
- Channels.
- Tank linings.
- Chemical resistant coating.
- Can be used as saturant for QuakeWrap® fabrics.
- Coverage
- Applied at a thickness of 15 mils results in 100 ft² per gallon.
- Rough and uneven surfaces result in lower yields.
- Application Equipment
- Paint roller with ¼” nap.
- Use only naps which are approved for use with epoxies.
- Surface Preparation
- Substrate surfaces must be structurally sound and free from contaminants such as dust, oil, and dirt.
- Surfaces must be shot blasted, abrasively ground, hydro-blasted or mechanically abraded to achieve the required surface profile.
- Freestanding water must be removed.
- Mixing
- Thorough and complete mixing is critical; a jiffy mixer is recommended.
- First, mix each component separately.
- The proportion of each component at the appropriate ratio by weight (A:B ratio of 100:42).
- Pour the hardener (Part B) into the resin (Part A) and mix at 400 - 600 RPM for 3 - 5 minutes.
- Use an up and down motion, scraping the mixing container sides and bottom.
- Mix no more material than may be applied in 15 minutes.
- Cleanup
- Collect with absorbent material, flush with water.
- Clean up using acetone or other ketone solvents.
- Dispose waste in accordance with local disposal regulations.
- Cured materials can only be removed mechanically.
- Limitations
- Do not apply to concrete still in the curing process.
- Do not apply to substrates at a temperature less than 50°F (10°C).
