Product Specification
| Technical Data | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carboline Carboguard 690 | ||||||
| Volume Solids: | 80% +/- 2% | |||||
| Temperature Resistance (Immersion): | Immersion temperature resistance depends upon exposure (120°F maximum). Contact Rawlins on Tech - 0113 2455450 (option 2) or [email protected] Sales - 0113 2455450 or [email protected] for specific information. | |||||
| Linings exposed to cargos warmer than the outside steel temperature are subject to a "cold-wall' effect. The smaller the temperature differential, the less negative influence on performance. | ||||||
| Theoretical Coverage Rate: | 1283 ft²/gal at 1.0 mils (31.5 m²/l at 25 microns) | |||||
| 257 ft²/gal at 5.0 mils (6.3 m²/l at 125 microns) | ||||||
| 160 ft²/gal at 8.0 mils (3.9 m²/l at 200 microns) | ||||||
| Allow for loss in mixing and application | ||||||
| Dry Film Thickness: | 5 - 8 mils (127 - 203 microns) per coat | |||||
| Primer: | Self-Priming, zinc-rich, or epoxies | |||||
| Topcoats: | May be coated with acrylics, epoxies, alkyds, or polyurethanes depending on exposure and need. | |||||
| VOC Values: | As Supplied: 1.42 lbs/gal 170 g/l mixed | |||||
| Thinner 2: 16* oz/gal 2.06 lbs/gal 248 g/l | ||||||
| Flash Point: | Part A: 91°F (33°C) | |||||
| Part B: 80 °F (27°C) | ||||||
| Thinner 2: 23°F (-5°C) | ||||||
| Limitations: | Epoxies lose gloss, discolour and eventually chalk in sunlight exposure. Discoloration is more pronounced with this product. | |||||
| For immersion projects use only factory-made material in special colours | ||||||
| This product can be applied over damp or even wet substrates. Remove excess water by blowing down the surface and apply in multiple coats to achieve desired film thickness. | ||||||
| Brush or roller, and multiple coats are preferred over wet substrates. | ||||||
| Severe Exposures: | Under insulation temperature resistance: | |||||
| Continuous: 300°F (149°C) | ||||||
| Non-Continuous: 350°F (176°C) | ||||||
| Discoloration occurs above 200 F (93 C) but does not affect performance | ||||||
| Shelf Life: | Part A: 24 months at 76°F (24°C) | |||||
| Part B: 24 months at 76°F (24°C) | ||||||
| Shelf Life: (actual stated shelf life) when kept at recommended storage conditions and in original unopened containers. | ||||||
| Storage Temperature and Humidity: | 40 -100°F (4°C-38°C) | |||||
| 0-95% Relative Humidity | ||||||
Drying Times
| Curing Schedule | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Surface Temp | Dry to Touch | Minimum Recoat Time | Maximum Recoat Time | Minimum cure for immersion service | |
| 20°F (-7°C) | 10 Hours | 72 Hours | 60 Days | 45 Days | |
| 35°F (2°C) | 6 Hours | 17 Hours | 45 Days | 30 Days | |
| 60°F (16°C) | 5 Hours | 6 Hours | 30 Days | 14 Days | |
| 75°F (24°C) | 4 Hours | 2 Hours | 15 Days | 7 Days | |
| 90°F (32°C) | 2 Hours | 2 Hours | 7 Days | 6 Days | |
These times are based on a 5.0-8.0 mil (125-200 micron) dry film thickness per coat.
- Higher film thickness, insufficient ventilation or cooler temperatures will require longer cure times and could result in solvent entrapment and premature failure.
- Excessive humidity or condensation on the surface during curing can interfere with the cure, can cause discoloration, and may result in a surface haze. Any haze or blush must be removed by water washing before recoating.
- If the maximum recoat times have been exceeded, the surface must be abraded by sweep blasting or sanding prior to the application of additional coats.
- For force curing, contact Rawlins on Tech - 0113 2455450 (option 2) or [email protected] Sales - 0113 2455450 or [email protected] for specific requirements.
- For application and cure conditions below 35°F, dehumidify before, during, and after application to prevent ice formation on the surface.
| Curing Schedule | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Surface Temp | Dry to Handle | Dry to Recoat | |
| 35°F (2°C) | 48 Hours | 2 Days | |
| 60°F (16°C) | 24 Hours | 40 Hours | |
| 75°F (24°C) | 8 Hours | 24 Hours | |
| 90°F (32°C) | 6 Hours | 24 Hours | |
- The above times are based on 16 mils (400 microns) DFT of Carboguard 690 applied in a single coat. Honour the other precautions outlined above
Surface Preparation
General
- Remove any oil or grease from surface to be coated with clean rags soaked in Carboline Thinner 2, or toluol.
Steel
- Immersion: SSPC-SP10; Surface Profile: 1.5-3.0 mils (38-75 microns) (See Limitations).
- Non-Immersion: SSPC-SP6; Surface Profile: 1.5-3.0 mils (38-75 microns) In certain situations hand tool or power tool cleaning (SSPC-SP2 or 3) is acceptable for thicknesses up to 8 mils (200 microns)
Concrete or CMU
- Clean and dry
- Remove all loose, unsound concrete
- Do not apply coating unless concrete has cured at least 28 days @ 70°F (21°C) and 50% relative humidity or equivalent.
Application Methods
| Product Information | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mixing: | Mix separately, then combine and mix in the following proportions (4:1 ratio): | ||||
| 1 Gal. Kit Part A: .8 gallon - Part B: .2 gallon | |||||
| 5 Gal. Kit Part A: 4 gallon - Part B: 1 gallon | |||||
| Thin up to 12.5% by volume with Carboline Thinner 2 for non-immersion applications and Thinner 10 for immersion projects. | |||||
| Pot Life: | 1.5 hours at 75°F (24°C) and less at higher temperatures. Pot life ends when coating becomes too viscous to use. | ||||
| Spray Application (General): | Hold gun 12-14 inches from the surface and at a right angle to the surface. | ||||
| Conventional Spray | Pressure pot equipped with dual regulators, 3/8” I.D. minimum material hose, .070” I.D. fluid tip and appropriate air cap. | ||||
| Airless Spray: | Pump Ratio: 45:1 (min.) | ||||
| Volume Output: 11.5 l/min min. (2.5gpm min.) | |||||
| Material Hose: 12.5mm min. (½” I.D. recommended) | |||||
| Tip Size: 0.43-0.53mm (0.017-0.021”) | |||||
| Output: 140-175kg/cm² | |||||
| Pressure: (2000-2500 psi) | |||||
| Brush and Roller (General): | Not recommended for tank lining applications except when striping welds. | ||||
| For non-immersion applications over damp surfaces, brush and roller is the preferred method. | |||||
| Multiple coats may be required to obtain desired appearance, recommended dry film thickness and adequate hiding. | |||||
| Avoid excessive re-brushing or re-rolling. | |||||
| For best results, tie-in within 10 minutes at 75°F (24°C). | |||||
| Thin up to 12.5% by volume per gallon with Carboline Thinner 2. Use a short-nap synthetic roller cover with phenolic core. | |||||

- Industry standards are for substrate temperatures to be above the dew point.
- For immersion conditions it is recommended to follow this procedure.
- For non-immersion conditions this product can tolerate damp substrates.
- Special thinning and application techniques may be required above or below normal conditions.
Health and Safety
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.
- User should test and monitor exposure levels to ensure all personnel are below guidelines. If not sure or if not able to monitor levels, use MSHA/NIOSH approved supplied air respirator.
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.
- Refer to the product and safety data sheet in the attachments section above for further details.
