Features and Benefits

• Outstanding performance properties in both mild and aggressive environments
• High build; suitable for many two-coat systems
• Suitable for application direct to inorganic zincs
• Application by spray, brush, or roller
• Indefinite re-coatability
• VOC compliant to current AIM regulations
• Available in 400+ RAL colours

Product Specification

Drying Times

• These times are based on a 75-125 micron dry film thickness. Higher film thickness, insufficient ventilation or cooler temperatures will require longer cure times and could result in solvent entrapment and premature failure
• Maximum recoat times are indefinite
• Surface must be clean and dry
• As part of good painting practice it is recommended to test for adhesion by wiping the surface with Thinner 25
• If the film shows a slight "tack" the surface is suitable for recoating without extensive surface preparation such as abrading
• Carboline Additive 101 can be used to accelerate the film forming process in this product for conditions outside of the parameters of this data sheet. Carboline Additive 101 is added at a rate of 1.0-2.0 oz per mixed gallon or a maximum of 6 oz per mixed five gallons. At this addition rate, Additive 101 will accelerate the cure rate of the urethane product between 25-40% depending on the substrate temperature range and reduce the pot life of the product by approximately 40-50% of that stated on the product data sheet. With the use of Additive 101, this product will continue to cure at temperatures as low as -7°C

Surface Preparation

General

• Surfaces 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

• SSPC-SP6 with a 37.5-62.5 micron surface profile for maximum protection
• SSPCSP2 or SP3 as minimum requirement
• Prime with specific Carboline primers as recommended by Rawlins on Tech - 0113 2455450 (option 2) or [email protected]

Galvanised Steel

• Prime with specific Carboline primers as recommended by Rawlins
• Refer to the specific primer’s product data sheet for substrate preparation requirements

Aluminium

• SSPC-SP1 and prime with appropriate Carboline primer as recommended by Rawlins

Previously Painted Surfaces

• Lightly sand or abrade to roughen and de-gloss the surface. Existing paint must attain a minimum 3A rating in accordance with ASTM D3359 “XScribe” adhesion test
• Prime with specific Carboline primers as recommended by Rawlins

Application Methods

Application Conditions

• Industry standards are for substrate temperatures to be 3°C above the dew point
• This product simply requires the substrate temperature to be above the dew point
• Caution: This Product is moisture sensitive in the liquid stage and until cured. Protect from high humidity, dew, and direct moisture contact until cured. Application and/or curing in humidity's above maximum, or exposure to moisture from rain or dew may result in a loss of gloss and/or micro-bubbling of the product.

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 and use personal protective equipment as directed

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
• In addition to ensuring proper ventilation, appropriate respirators must be used by all application personnel
• 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

• Refer to the product data sheet and safety data sheets in the attachments section above for further details
