- MIXING & THINNING
Thoroughly agitate the “B” components of this product priorto application. Use a SPI folding blade mixer, or equivalent equipment approved by SPI. Install mixer through the extra air specific 2” bung hole provided on all “B” drums. Care must be taken not to cross contaminate the individual components with the mixing equipment; for the best mixing results, supply theSPI mixer with 25 cfm of air at 100 psi. Thinning is not required. Using any thinner may adversely affect product performance.
- GENERAL APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Apply HARD CAP™ 100 only to clean, dry, soundsurfaces free of loose particles or other foreign matter. HARD CAP™ 100 can be sprayed over a broad range ofambient and substrate temperatures. It is recommended that HARD CAP™ 100 be sprayed in multi-directional(north/south-east/west) passes to ensure uniform thickness.
OTHER COMMON SUBSTRATES:
STEEL: 4-5 mil anchor profile is best for maximum adhesion and varies per application and conditions; adhere to proper SSPC standards.
WOOD: Apply polyurea onto a clean, dry, and sanded surface;free from burrs, splinters and loose debris. (It is recommendedto prime wood and other porous surfaces before application ofheated, fast-set polyureas to reduce pin holing).
CONCRETE: Prepare concrete in accordance with SPI Concrete Prep Guide and SSPC/NACE Standards.
PREVIOUSLY APPLIED COATINGS: SPI recommends UB™(ULTRA BOND™) products over existing coatings that are past the recoat window and/or application over other coatings.The use of SPI Prep Wipe™ solution will tack up the existing polyurea coating and can help promote bonding of the FULLMETAL JACKET™ PLUS. Contact SPI for additional information.
On all above listed substrates and others, please contact SPISales or Technical Support for more information specific toyour application, including industry standards such as SSPC and NACE. Adhesion tests are always recommended priorto application.

Recoat 30 min - 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 up to several days or weeks, depending on a variety of conditions or product type. All samples for above tests were force cured 48 hours or aged for more than three weeks. It is recommended that the user perform their own independent testing.
The samples for tests were sprayed with Graco HXP3 @ 2500 psi dynamic (17 mpa). Primaries/Hose Heat 170°F (77°C,) MP Fusion gun with 29/29 mixing chamber with .040 ceramtip. Test results from SPI.- PROCESSING EQUIPMENT & SETTINGS

EQUIP & MFGBoss - 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 HARD CAP™ 100.
- Machines capable of producing a higher dynamic psimay be required depending on the service environment the HARD CAP™ 100 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.
- LIMITATIONS
- HARD CAP™ 100 is for professional use only.
- User must be proficient in the application of HARD CAP™ 100and the use of the high pressure heated plural component equipment used to apply it.
- HARD CAP™ 100 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 HARD CAP™ 100 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.
