- Application Data
Apply by brush, roller or spray. Apply 5 mils (125 μ) wet, which will yield 2.75 mils (69.85 μ) dry per coat.
Equipment:
- Brush: China Bristle
- Roller: Solvent Resistant Roller Cover 3/8” pile smooth to medium Prewash Roller Cover to remove loose fibers prior to use.
Airless: Spray: Minimum 33:1 –2 GPM ratio pump; “0.017- 0.026” (0.43-0.66 mm) orifice tip; 3/8” ID highpressure material hose; 90 PSI line pressure; 60 mesh filter.
Thinning: If thinning is necessary, thin up to a maximum of 10%, with water.
Cleaning: Clean all equipment immediately after use with water. It is a good practice to periodically flush out spray equipment during the course of the day. Frequency should depend upon amount sprayed, temperature, elapsed time including delay, etc. Safety: Prior to use, obtain and consult the “Safety Data Sheet” of this product for health and safety information. Read and observe all precautionary notices on container labels.
- Surface Preparation
Paint only clean, dry surfaces. Remove all grease, oil, wax, or other foreign material using Sea Hawk S-80, S-90, or detergent washing. (SSPC-SPI).
New Construction: Dependent on yard procedures, consult your Sea Hawk Representative.
Previously Painted Surfaces: If previous coating is known to be compatible (See Sea Hawk Compatibility Chart) and in good condition, scuff sand with 80 grit sandpaper then solvent clean with Sea Hawk S-80 Wax “N” Greaser to remove residue. In poor condition remove antifouling with Sea Hawk 1280 Marine Stripper.
- Limitations
Apply in good weather when air and surface temperatures are above 50° F (10° C). Surface temperature must be a least 5° F (1° C) above dew point. For optimum application properties, bring material to 70-80° F (21-27° C) temperature range prior to mixing and application. Unmixed material (in closed containers) should be maintained in protected storage between 40° and 100°F (4-38° C). Prolonged atmospheric exposure of this product may detract from performance.
