Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Applications
- Uses
- Finish coating compatible with QuakeWrap® wet lay-up, SPiRe™, and PileMedic™ products.
- UV resistant coating.
- Coverage
- Applied at a thickness of 15 mils results in 100 ft² per gallon.
- Rough and uneven surfaces result in lower yields.
- Application Equipment
- An industrial paint sprayer may be used for larger applications.
- A paint roller is used for touch-ups, repair, and smaller applications.
- 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.
- Application
- QuakeBond™ UVC can be applied using a sprayer, brush, or roller depending upon the application tools available.
- Using any application method, to avoid mud cracking, do not use too much material on a single coating.
- During the spray application, there should be approximately 6 to 12 inches between the tip of the spray gun and the substrate.
- Adjust the spray gun valve so the gun is spraying a 6-inch fan, using minimal pressure.
- A 50% overspray technique is recommended.
- For optimal results, a dual coat program should be applied.
- First, spray one coat horizontally across a section, and then complete the process next with a vertical spray direction.
- Do not spray at high pressure as the mixture might dry before landing on the substrate.
- It is acceptable practice to brush hard-to-reach areas after spraying.
- Continue to agitate the coating during application.
- Let each coat dry to the touch before applying a second layer.
- Ensure proper coverage on edges, as during normal hydrolysis induced cure, the material may become thinner than expected.
- Brush edges or corners before spraying the surface to ensure enough material is in contact with the substrate.
- Cleanup
- Collect with absorbent material, flush with water.
- Clean up using acetone or other ketone solvents.
- Dispose waste in accordance with local disposal regulations.
- Limitations
- Do not apply to materials still in the curing process.
- Do not apply to substrates at a temperature less than 50°F (10°C).

Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life & Storage
- Store product in original container in a dry location for up to 12 months at 77°F (25°C) or below.
- If stored below 25°C, the material must be allowed to come to room temperature, in the sealed container, to avoid moisture contamination.
- Material removed from containers may be contaminated during use.
- Do not return the product to the original container.
- QuakeWrap® cannot assume responsibility for the product which has been contaminated or stored under conditions other than those previously indicated.
