- Surface Preparation
Remove all dirt, scale, and grease. Sand blast steel to SSPC-SP 6, Commercial Blast, and prime with P7387 Polyamide Epoxy Primer for best results. Concrete surfaces may be etched with muriatic acid diluted with water (1:10), rinsed thoroughly, allowed to dry, and neutralized with dilute baking soda, ammonia, or garden lime. Swimming pools should be washed with a detergent solution prior to acid etching to remove oils. Omit acid etching if pH of concrete of 7 or above cannot be verified by litmus test or other means.
- Mixing and Thinning
Stir or shake well. Mix one part of NE 4085 White Polyamide High Gloss Epoxy one part E 4005 Epoxy Activator. Mix with power mixer or by hand for five minutes. Thin up to 20% with T 5932 Epoxy Reducer to spray. Pot life is four to five hours depending on temperature.
- Application
Brush, roll, or spray. Thin as directed for conventional or H.V.L.P. spray. Apply between 50 and 90°F with the relative humidity less than 80%. Do not expose to dew or rain within eight hours after painting. Humidity can exceed 80% and dry times can be shortened if heat (no more than 300ºF) is applied soon after application. Full resistance properties are developed within seven days.
- Recoat Time
- Between 12 and 48 hours. After 48 hours, a light sanding is recommended before recoat.
