Drying Times
Curing Schedule | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Surface Temp. | Dry to Touch | Dry to Recoat | Final Cure | |||
5°C (41°F) | 4 Hours | 20 Hours | 21 Days | |||
15°C (59°F) | 2 Hours | 15 Hours | 14 Days | |||
25°C (77°F) | 1 Hour | 5 Hours | 10 Days |
- These times are based on 75 µm DFT. Higher film thickness, insufficient ventilation or cooler temperatures will require longer cure times and could result in solvent entrapment and premature failure.
Surface Preparation
General
- Surface must be clean and dry.
- Employ adequate methods to remove dirt, dust, oil and all other contaminants that could interfere with adhesion of the coating.
Steel
- Abrasive blasting to min. Sa 2½ (ISO 8501-1)
- Alternatively, ultra high pressure water jetting to Nace No. 7 min. C Vis WJ-2. Max flash rust; C Vis WJ-2M.
Concrete
- Concrete must be cured at least 28 days at 24°C and 50% relative humidity or equivalent.
- Prepare surfaces in accordance with ASTM D42582 Surface Cleaning of Concrete and ASTM D4259 Abrading Concrete.
- Voids in concrete may require surfacing

Application Conditions
Product Conditions | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Condition | Material | Surface | Ambient | Humidity | |
Minimum | 5°C (41°F) | 5°C (41°F) | 5°C (41°F) | 0% | |
Maximum | 40°C (104°F) | 50°C (122°F) | 50°C (122°F) | 85% |
- Industry standards are for substrate temperatures to be 3°C above the dew point.
- Condensation due to substrate temperatures below the dew point can cause flash rusting on prepared steel and interfere with proper adhesion to the substrate.
- Special application techniques may be required above or below normal application conditions.
Health and Safety
Clean Up
- Use Thinner 2 or Acetone
- In case of spillage, absorb and dispose of in accordance with local applicable regulations.
Safety
- Read and follow all caution statements on this product data sheet and on the SDS for this product.
- Employ normal workmanlike safety precautions.
- Hypersensitive persons should wear protective clothing, gloves and use protective cream on face, hands, and all exposed areas.
Ventilation
- When used as a tank lining or in enclosed areas, thorough air circulation must be used during and after application until the coating is cured.
- The ventilation system should be capable of preventing the solvent vapor concentration from reaching the lower explosion limit for the solvents used.
Caution
- This product contains flammable solvents
- Keep away from sparks and open flames
- All electrical equipment and installations should be made and grounded in accordance with applicable regulations.
- In areas where explosion hazards exist, workmen should be required to use nonferrous tools and wear conductive and non-sparking shoes.
