E332 Clear Antimicrobial Urethane

CURE SCHEDULE

RECOAT TIME

BACK IN-SERVICE SCHEDULE

Regular Cure

APPLICATION TEMPERATURE:

45°-120°F with relative humidity below 90%.  When spraying, use a 50% overlapping crosshatch pattern to minimize the occurrence of pinholes.  Do not apply over dew or frost.  The surface should be dry and at least 5°F above the dew point.

Regular cure Low Temperature application down to 45°F (air and surface low temperature during curing process).  Fast Cure formula available for cold weather applying to surfaces down to 38° (needs to remain at this temp or above for at least 1 hour) and then during curing process temperatures further dropping ok to as low as 25°F.

MIXING AND APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

SURFACE PREPARATION
Remove all dirt, grease, oil, soil, chemical contaminants, and other matter before any mechanical preparation.  The surface must be free of any salt contamination.  Prepare and paint only clean surfaces in accordance with Steel Structures Painting Council (SSPC) or National Association of Corrosion Engineers (N.A.C.E.) specifications.

E332 Clear Polyurethane is a topcoat and is normally not recommended directly over unprimed surfaces. Apply over appropriate primers, intermediate coats or decorative floors. Surfaces msut be free from all oil, grease, water or other foreign matter. Surface should be dry and above 45°F and rising. Relative humidity should not exceed 85%. E332 is moisture sensitive during application and initial cure. Do not apply if surface temperature is within 5° of Dew Point. Not recommended on floors susceptible to hydrostatic pressure.

Best methods of application are using lambs wool applicators or short nap rollers. E332 can be brushed by using pure Chinese bristle brushes. For rolling, use a 1/4″-3/8″ shed resistant phenolic core cover. Roll in the same direction, always keeping a wet edge. Do not over roll product. For safety and proper curing, proper ventilation is necessary throughout application and cure. Any foodstuff and furnishing in the application area should be removed prior to application. When using pigmented Intermediate Coats, be sure the batch numbers are all the same to provide a uniform base color. E332 can be sprayed with an airless unit.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Stir each component to a uniform consistency, using a slow speed variable speed explosion proof drill with a Jiffy Mixer.   Do not mix by hand or vary proportions.   Improper mixing may result in product failure. For best mixing results and proper blending of parts A and B, recommend a Jiffy Mixer style drill mixer.

Use of an improper drill mixer can result in streaking of the color because the pigment has not been thoroughly blended.  It can also create curing problems if the hardener also called activator (Part B) is not thoroughly blended with the resin (Part A) which can cause some areas on your floor to remain soft and not harden properly.  DO NOT USE A PAINT MIXER.  Many mixing problems described above can be traced back to using a paint mixer..  DO NOT HAND MIX as this approach can also result in the same problems as using a paint mixer.

Make sure any pigment settled to the bottom is incorporated.  Do not vary proportions.  E332 is prepared by mixing 2 parts BASE (Part A) to 1 part Hardener (Part B) with a slow speed explosion proof variable speed drill with a Jiffy mixer. Be sure material is thoroughly mixed together. Do not thin E332. Use as supplied.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE

Roller – Use a 3/8” – ½” nap, phenolic core, shed resistant roller cover.  Roll in the same direction always keeping a wet edge.  Do not over roll product.

Brush – Use pure bristle brush.

When spraying, use a 50% overlapping crosshatch pattern to minimize the occurrence of pinholes.  Do not apply to surfaces below 45°F or above 120°F.  Do not apply over dew or frost.  The surface should be dry and at least 5°F above the dew point.

LIMITATIONS:

• Do not apply over frost, wet or damp surfaces or extremely high humidity conditions.
• Do not apply over expansion joints.
• Do not apply if the surface temperature is within 5° of the dew point.
• Partially used containers must be reclosed tightly to prevent moisture in air from reacting with material and forming a tough skin.  Skin can be removed and remaining material used.  Be sure to stir

We strongly recommend to test the coating before recoating or topcoating. This is done by pressing your thumb on the coating in multiple places to ensure a fingerprint impression is not visible. If there is no impression visible, then coating the floor can be done. Note, colder or hotter than 75 degrees can affect the curing time schedule  

CAUTIONS

E332 is flammable.  Keep away from all sources of ignition during mixing, application and cure.  Contains Aliphatic Polyisocyanates, N-Butyl Acetate, Xylene and PM Acetate. The Hardener (Part B) and mixtures of BASE (Part A) with Hardener (Part B) can cause eye and skin burns as well as allergic reactions. The use of goggles, fresh air masks or NIOSH approved respirators, protective skin cream and protective clothing is a recommended standard practice when spraying. The Hardener and Base can cause eye and skin burns as well as allergic reactions.  Use goggles, fresh air masks or NIOSH approved respirators, protective skin cream and protective clothing.  This product is sold without warranty as to performance expressed or implied.  Users are urged to make their own tests to determine the suitability for their particular conditions.
