Tripoxy is recommended for the plant maintenance of machinery, structural steel, catwalks, rails, lining of storage tanks, metal doors, walls and floors. It is also used as an abrasion and chemical resistant floorfinishforindustrfliooarls,c woanrechroeustees, fire stations, garages, even residential showers. 41 serie sis also recommended to protect wood in constantly damp environments and as a “tile like glaze coat” for heavy wear commercial/institutional walls and doors. Such uses include jail cells, hospital walls, school corridors, gyms, public rest rooms, commercial kitchens, etc. Other uses included surfacesin meat and poultry processing plants, sulfur fume problem areas in geothermal plants, and fertilizer handling equipment. It has even been used on the lining of oyster larvae storage tanks.

- Application Data
REQUIREMENTS FOR APPLICATION:
- Proper curing occurs only above 50° F.
- Surfaces must be completely dry and applied Tripoxy must be protected from all forms of moisture until “rainproof” as per preceding chart. 41 series will lift alkyd enamels and primers and may soften/wrinkle latex enamels. Test a painted surface for compatibility before painting.
- Newiron and steel should be abrasive blasted to SSPC-SP6 and must be blasted to SSPC-SP10 for submersion.
- Tripoxy can be applied over itself or similar epoxies if the existing paint is abraded to dull. However for chemical environment or submersion service, SSPC-SP10 is required. Concrete floors require special treatment, reference Tech. Advisory # 4 for complete review.
- Fumes are flammable; extinguish all pilot lights and open flames.
PRIMING:
Tripoxy is self priming on metal, wood and concrete but requires clean, profiled, rust free metal. Significant reduction is required for proper penetration into wood and concrete. On iron and steel, epoxy primers with corrosion inhibiting pigmentation can be used for additional protection. Primers are used on sheetrock, plaster and CMU to provide a uniform gloss. On non ferrous metal and iron/steel that cannot be abrasive blasted, the use of 994P PreEtch is recommended.
FILM DEVELOPMENT & THICKNESS:
Tripoxy develops its full hardness and chemical resistance at 3 mils. Heavier films attempted in one coat may cause pinhole voids. Use 2 coats on profiled iron and steel. Tripoxy repaints over itself in on coat. Drywall and CMU will vary significantly as to texture/profile. In shower rooms or similar constantly wet environments, 2 coats to produce a 4 mils DFT are recommended. Indry areas such as school corridors or jail cells, one coat to produce a 2-3 mils DFT is appropriate. Spread rates can vary from 200 — 400 sq. ft./gal. per coat.
MIXING:
Catalyzing: Mix ratio is 1:1 by volume. Pour Part B into a third container. Stir Part B while adding Part A until homogenous. Induction Time: 30 min. After being catalyzed,- Thinning
THINNING:
Tripoxy cannot be thinned with solvents in VOC regulated areas. In unregulated areas use up to 5 to 10% of AT65 Thinner.- Applications
Steel and wood are brushed or sprayed. Masonry and drywall walls and concrete floors are typically rolled. Rolling will introduce bubbles and when protection from water or chemicals is required, two or more coats are mandatory when rolling.
Brush: Any professional quality.
Rolling: v4" mohair for smooth surfaces and v2" lambswool for CMU and/or textured walls.
Conventional Spray: At package viscosity, pressure feed only. Binks 18 or 2001 gun, .055 fluid nozzle @ 15-25 psi fluid and 80 — 90 psi air pressure.
HVLP: Binks BBR with a 94 nozzle or equivalent.
Airless: 3/4 — 1 gpm; 20:1 + ratio pumps capable of sustaining +2000 psi with .019" — .021" tips.
CLEANUP: AT17 Wash Thinner Rinse clear with clean AT65 Epoxy Thinner or Xylene

Packaging & Availability
- Color Availability
Tripoxy is stocked in white, black and a typical industrial gray (ANSI 61). White 41 series can be tinted to pastel colors using Colortrend 844 Industrial Colorants. Clear Tripoxy does not accept colorants. Any non metallic colorcan be made witha 25 gallon minimum order.
- Order Code
41 + gloss + color# Individual products are identified by the product series number, followed by a gloss identifier (G=gloss, S=semigloss) and ending in the color number For example, 41 G633 is Tripoxy (41) gloss (G) Lt. Gray ANSI 70 (633). Use 941B hardener semigloss finish is desired.

[2 containers per kit — color container and hardener container.]
Storage & Handling
- Pot Life
Tripoxy must stand without being agitated or used for 30 minutes. Only after induction time may Tripoxy be thinned if necessary. Discontinue use if mixture starts to gel.
