Product Use Instructions 

SURFACE PREPARATION

Immersion: remove all oil grease, surface contamination, loose rust, scale and any old coating. Although designed for use in less than ideal surface preparation it is preferred that one strive to attain as close to an SSPC SP-5 , in as many areas as possible, to achieve the best long-term performance of the overall coating system. At a minimum an SP-6 ios required. In all cases a 3-5 mil profile is required.

Dry: Remove all oil, grease, surface contamination, loose rust, scale and any old coating. Although designed for use in less than ideal surface preparation the best long-term performance is attained with SP-6 cleanliness at 2-3 mil profile.

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 the surface is clean and free of all grease, oils nad surface laitance. Sandblasting and/or scarification may be recommended depending on surface. Existing coatings should be abrasive blasted to clean concrete.

MIXING:

Thoroughly mix Activator into Base with mixing stick or drill with low speed mixing blade. Mix by Volume 2 parts Base to 1 part Activator. Or by weight 100 grams base to 43 grams activator.

THINNING: Never thin.

APPLICATION:

Brush: medium to stiff bristle of sufficient quality that bristles do not pull out and stick in coating (epoxy glued bristles are best). Trim or tape to <1″ nap

Roller: use good quality 1/4″ – 3/8″ nap

Cartridge Sprayer: Heat to 100F by water bath or microwave. Set Air to 1 and piston to 1. Adjust as needed

Spray: .015-.017 RAC tip, 2,000-2,500 PSI, Heat to 100F Base, 80F Activator.

Airless Spray: Low air pressure 25-40 psi, .015-.017 tip

Conventional Spray: Graco #700 or #800 spray gun with suitable needle/ nozzle and air cap combinations. EE-80 applies best at low air and pot pressure, 5-10 PSI. All spray equipment should employ traps to prevent water and oil from contaminating coating and 30 mesh screens prevent particulate contamination.

APPLICATION TEMPERATURE:
Material: keep between 55 to 95ºF (17 to 35ºC). Substrate: keep between 45 to 105ºF (7 to 40ºC). The difference in temperature of the substrate and the material should never exceed 10ºF (5ºC). Substrate shall be a minimum of 5ºF (3ºC) 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 (75ºF+, 24ºC) for ease of mixing. If necessary, base component of material can be heated by microwave for 20-35 seconds for 1 KG unit or by warm water bath. Heat activator by
warn water bath only. If necessary let material cool before application.

OVERCOAT / CURE TIME:
Overcoat windows are affected by temperature and humidity. The following are general guidelines. By Brush or Roller recoat between 8 and 72 hours at 72ºF (25ºC). When spraying recoat between 2 and 12 hours. Full cure before immersion 72 Hours at 72ºF without topcoat. With Topcoat follow the product instructions.

CLEAN UP: M.E.K., Acetone or another Ketone blend. For solvent controlled areas use 98+% isopropyl alcohol

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. Consult the Product Safety
