EPOXOTHERM
® APPLICATION
METHOD:
SURFACE PREPARATION
Power wash ( 3,000 psi or more ) using a citrus cleaner to remove
dirt, oil, tar, grease and film before applying. Surfaces should be clean
and free of dirt, oil, and loose or flaking materials. Can be applied
to clean, dry or moist surfaces, but designed to be applied to damp or
wet surfaces without loss of adhesion ability. If salts or chlorides exist
on the surface, add Chlor-Rid to the power wash water at the rate of one
( 1 ) gallon of Chlor-Rid to every one hundred ( 100 ) gallons of water.
This will remove the salts and chlorides from the pores of the substrate.
MIXING
Mix the curing agent into the base for five minutes using a power drill
and paddle. THEN LET STAND FOR 30 MINUTES BEFORE USING. It has a pot life
of 6 - 8 hours. APPLICATION
Apply
with airless, air pot sprayers, roller or brush however the preferred method
of application is by airless sprayer with a .031 - .033 tip ( remove
all filters from spray equipment before using ). Excellent for coating
dams above and below water level to control thermal shock to concrete, which
creates cracks over time and destroys dam integrity. Let dry 48 hours before
submerging, running water over or allowing coating to experience pressures.
It can chemically cure while submerged. Completely cures in 14 days. IMMEDIATELY
UPON JOB COMPLETION, FLUSH EQUIPMENT LINES AND UNIT WITH SOLVENT( MEK )
TO PROTECT FROM PRODUCT CURING INSIDE MACHINERY.
NOTE:
When used in exterior coating applications, EPOXOTHERM
should be top coated with ENAMOGRIP
white to prevent chalking and lose gloss. For
insulating pipes from condensation, apply in 1 - 4 coats at 100 sf per gallon
16 mils WFT or 12.48 mils DFT per coat.
For insulating cold pipes from
icing, apply in 4 - 8 coats at 100 sf per gallon 16 mils WFT or 12.48 mils
DFT per coat.
WFT per coat depends on vertical or horizontal substrate
orientation. On a horizontal substrate the maximum WFT is 35 - 40 mils per
coat.
Thickness required always depends on dewpoint differential
and surrounding conditions. Dewpoint Chart
MSDS Quick-View:
• Flammable liquid
• DOT #UN-1263
• Lead- and
chromate-free
• VOC is 378 grams / liter, well under the codes
APPLICATOR SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
Applicator must, at all
times during use, wear a Bureau of Mines-approved, 2-stage (charcoal and
cotton) paint spray respirator, designed for removal of organic vapors,
or a fresh air-supplied type of respirator. Protective clothing and
protective eyewear (goggles) are recommended.
IMPORTANT:
Do not apply over chlorinated rubber or where chlorinated rubber has
been. Even after sandblasting, the chlorination can attack the solvents
and brittle the coating. COVERAGE
