Uses

Epoxy Acrylic DTM is used to protect exterior and interior structural ferrous and nonferrous steel, institutional walls, and industrial machinery. Epoxy Acrylic DTM, used in conjunction with high build zinc rich primers, is suitable for moderate duty marine applications. EpoxyAcrylic DTM, applied as one part of a three-coat system, is suitable for bridge coating applications.

Limitations
  • Not intended for immersion applications
  • Not for below grade applications
Application Data

Abrasive blast cleaned surfaces shall be tested by the Contractor for soluble salts using a Class Aor B retrieval method as described in Technology Guide 15, “Field Methods for Retrieval and Analysis of Soluble Salts on Steel and Other Nonporous Substrates,” of the “SSPC: The Society of Protective Coatings,” and cleaned so the maximum level of soluble salts does not exceed the 10 micrograms per square centimeter. Areas of abrasive blast cleaned steel shall be tested at the rate of 3 tests for the first 1,000 square feet prepared per day, and one test for each additional 1,000 square feet or portion thereof, at locations selected by the Engineer. When less than 1,000 square feet of surface area is prepared in a shift, at least 2 tests shall be performed. Additionally, the use of a iron phosphate will further enhance corrosion protection.
Applicable Substrates:

  • Direct to Ferrous or Nonferrous
  • Direct to Galvanized
  • Properly prepared concrete

Recommended Primers:
920Z KoldGalv - 400 g/l VOC, light marine applications
283P609 Aquapoxy - 83 g/l VOC, ferrous and nonferrous substrates.

Safety & Health

Health and Safety

Warning:
Combustible liquid and vapor. Harmful vapor if inhaled. Vapor may affect the brain or nervous system causing dizziness, headache, or nausea and can cause nose and throat irritation. Keep away from sparks, heat, or open flames. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing of vapor. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Vash hands thorouafgtehr lusyin g and before eating and smoking. Wear an appropriate, properly fitted respirator (NIOSH/MSHA approved) during and after appliation unless air monitoring demonstrates vapor levels are below applicable limits. Follow respirator manufacturer's directions for use. Keep container closed when not in use. If spillage occurs, absorb and dispose of according to local regulations.
Notice:
Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful or fatal. Reports have associated repeated and prolonges occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage.
First Aid:
Should eye contact occur, flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention if vision is disturbed. For skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water. If swallowed, seek medical attention immediately. DO NOT induce vomiting.
