Product Use Instructions 

SURFACE PREPARATION

Steel surfaces are to be abrasive blasted with chloride free abrasive. Exterior applications to SSPC SP-10 Near White metal finish. Immersion applications to SSPC SP-5 White metal 3 to 5 mil profile. Grind flat all burrs, weld seams, radius sharp edges. Fresh blasted ferrous surfaces to be primed immediately to prevent oxidation of surface. For hand applications Prime with EE-121HT Prime.

Concrete surfaces should be degreased if oil and grease contamination is present. Degreased surface shall be high pressure washed, acid etched and high pressure washed again so surface is clean and free of all grease, oils and surface laitance. Existing coatings should be abrasive blasted to clean concrete. For hand applications prime with EE-10.

MIXING:

Thoroughly mix Activator into Base with mixing stick or drill with low speed mixing blade scraping sides and bottom of container or mixing board. Mix by Volume 3 parts Base to 1 part Activator. Or by weight 100 grams base to 31 grams activator. Mix thoroughly to produce an even colored and streak-free material.

THINNING: Never Thin

APPLICATION TEMPERATURE:

MATERIAL : Keep between 55 to 95F. Substrate: Keep between 45 to 105F. The difference in temperature of the substrate and the material should never exceed 10F. Substrate shall be a minimum of 5F above dew point. Do not apply if relative humidity exceeds 90%. If necessary heat metal prior to surface preparation using electric heater or heat lamp. Never use gas, oil or kerosene heaters as they will leave a greasy residue on metal surface. For best results, keep all material in warm area overnight (75F+)  for ease of mixing. If necessary base component of material can be heated by microwave for 30-45 seconds for a 1KG base unit or by warm water bath. Heat activator by warm water bath only. If necessary let material cool before application.

OVERCOAT / CURE TIME:

By brush, roller or squeegee recoat while material is still soft, but tack-free, between 1-3 hours at 77F. IMPORTANT: It is highly recommended that prior to overcoat that the prior coat be fully wiped with MEK or Acetone. If overcoat window is exceeded abrade surfaced with course sandpaper, grinder or brush blast and wipe with MEK or Acetone. By spray application recoat between 1-2 – 1 hours at 77F. Full cure  before immersion 72 hours at 77F. Add 1 hour’s additional cure time for each 10F below 77F. Required Force Cure with heat for best performance for 2 hours at 175F / 300F for 3 hours.

CLEAN UP: Clean tools immediately after use with MEK, Acetone or similar. ARCLEAN or 98+% Isopropyl Alcohol can be used in solvent restricted areas.

WARNING: Base contains epoxy resin. Activator contains alkaline amines, a strong sensitizer. May cause skin irritation, sensitization or other allergic responses. Use with
good ventilation, particularly if heated or sprayed. Prevent all contact with skin or eyes. Wear protective clothing, goggles, gloves or barrier creams. Keep containers closed
when not in use. Wash thoroughly after handling. In case of skin contact immediately wash with soap and water. In case of eye contact, flush with water for 15 minutes. If irritation persists seek medical attention.
