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.

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.
