GENERAL APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Apply AQUASEAL™ only to clean, dry, sound, surfaces free of loose particles or other foreign matter. AQUASEAL™ can be sprayed over a broad range of ambient and substrate temperatures. It is recommended that AQUASEAL™ be sprayed in multi-directional (north/south - east/west) passes to ensure uniform thickness.

STEEL: 4-5 mil anchor profile is best for maximum adhesion andvaries per application and conditions; adhere to proper SSPC standards. 

NON-FERROUS METALS: Prepare surface in accordance to SSPC-SP16 (Brush-off Blast Cleaning of Non-Ferrous Metals),It is imparative that the user perform their own adhesion tests. 

WOOD: Apply polyurea onto a clean, dry, and sanded surface; free from burrs, splinters and loose debris. (It is recommended to prime wood and other porous surfaces before application of heated, fast-set polyureas to reduce pin holing).

CONCRETE: Prepare concrete in accordance with SSPC/NACE Standards and SPI Concrete Prep Guide. 

PREVIOUSLY APPLIED COATINGS: SPI recommends UB™(ULTRA BOND™) products over existing coatings that are pastthe recoat window and/or application over other coatings.

Applications & Uses

The polyol “B” component must be thoroughly powermixed each day, prior to use. Use a SPI folding blade mixeror equivalent equipment approved by SPI. Install mixerthrough the extra 2” bung hole provided on all “B” drums.Care must be taken not to cross contaminate the individualcomponents with the mixing equipment. Contact a SPItechnician regarding proper mixing equipment.

  • Standard 1:1 ratio, heated, plural-component equipment developing a minimum of 2000 psi (10.4 MPa) dynamic pressure at the gun with heating capabilities to 170°F(77°C) will adequately spray AQUASEAL™.
  • Machines capable of producing a higher dynamic psimay be required depending on the service environment the AQUASEAL™ will be exposed to.
  • Proportioning machine primary heater temperature 160-170°F (71-77°C).
  • Hose temperature 160-170°F (71-76°C). A hose thermometer inserted under the insulation near the gun should read a minimum of 145-155°F (63-68°C).
  • Physical properties will be enhanced when sprayed at higher pressure (3000 psi or more); and utilizing an impingement mix gun such as MP Fusion or GX7-DI gun.
  • Do not use mixing chambers with output greater than 1.5 gallons per minute.
PARAMETERS & LIMITATIONS
  • AQUASEAL™ is for professional use only. User must be proficient in the application of AQUASEAL™ and the use of the high pressure heated plural component equipment used to apply it.
  • AQUASEAL™ must be stored at temperatures between 60—90°F (15—32°C).
  • Liquid temperature in containers/drums during application 70—100°F (21—38°C).
  • Apply AQUASEAL™ when surface and air temperatures are above 40°F (5°C) and the surface temperature is at least 5°F (3°C) above dew point and rising.
  • Avoid moisture contamination in containers. Containers should not be resealed if contamination is suspected.CO2 created pressure can develop. Do not attempt to use contaminated material.
  • Undried air exposed to liquid components will reduce physical properties of the cured coating.

Note: The material supplied is a two component system(component “A”/component “B”, which is used to formulatethis product. The quality and characteristics of the finished polymer is determined by the mixture and application of thetwo components by the person applying the polymers.

CURING SCHEDULE
 Gel   ± 30 - 90 sec. 
 Tack Free   ± 2 - 5 min. 
 Post Cure***    24 hour 
 Recoat   0 - 12 hours 

*-All cured film properties are approximate since processing parameters, ad-mixture types, and quantities change physical properties of the cured elastomer. Elevated temperatures will accelerate the curing process and shorten the re-coat window.
** Test performed in a dry, static environment.
*** Complete polymerization to achieve final strength can take upto several days or weeks, depending on a variety of conditions orproduct type. All samples for above tests were force cured 48hours or aged for more than three weeks. It is recommended that the user perform their own independent testing.

Packaging & Availability

Packaging Type
PACKAGING

AQUASEALTM is available in Neutral, Medium Gray, and Sand. AQUASEALTM is photosensitive and will change color in amatter of minutes from spray application.

Note: AQUASEALTM is an aromatic polyurea; therefore, aswith all aromatics color change and superficial oxidation will occur. Aliphatic urethane and other suitable top coatscan be used where long-term color stability and increased longevity in full sun exposure are of critical importance.

PACKAGING

This product is sold in standard 110 gallon drum sets and 550 gallon tote sets. Also available in other container sizes.
