39.4 m²/l at 25 microns 

2.0 m²/l at 500 microns 

1.3 m²/l at 750 microns 

Most applications are applied in a single coat at 500-750 microns

May be applied at heavier thicknesses up to 1500 microns as needed or specified

Continuous: 149°C 

Non-Continuous: 204°C 

The film build (per coat) will decrease with age of either part A or B as follows but the cure mechanism and performance is not affected

3 months or less: Over 1524 microns is typical 3-6 months: 762-1270 microns is typical

6 months or older: Can be less than 762 microns

Follow intercoat preparation requirements when applying multiple coats

10-29°C 

For 24-48 hours just prior to use narrow the storage temperature to 21-29 °C  to facilitate ease of mixing

For touch-up only:

Jiffy type mixers are recommended for all mixing and stirring. Avoid plunging the mixer up and down in the bucket. This can fold air into the resin which may cause bubbles to form in the coating after it has been applied. Individually stir separately Part A and Part B to a smooth uniform consistency and colour. Any sediment in the container must be thoroughly scraped up and re-dispersed.

Thinning not normally required

Use of thinners other than those supplied or recommended by Carboline may adversely affect product performance and void product warranty, whether expressed or implied

 2°C (35 °F): 30-40 minutes

 24°C (75°F): 15-25 minutes

Use a fixed ratio (4:1 by volume) plural component spray rig such as Graco King Hydro-Cat or equal with heated hoppers, heated hoses to a mixer manifold through a static mixer to a 50 whip hose followed by a silver gun, Binks 1M or equal, utilizing self-cleaning reverse "a" tips from 0.017" to 0.035". 

Note:

The 'A" side should be at a minimum of 4°C (110°F) and the "B" side at 90- 32-37°C (100°F). This will ensure proper spraying of Plasite 4550. Take care to prevent mixed material from setting up in your hoses. For best results keep hoses as short as possible, purge them immediately if work is interrupted, keep them out of direct sunlight and insulated from hot surfaces.

Lining Repair:

Before any touch up or recoat material can be applied the first coat must be properly prepared for intercoat adhesion. The first coat must be cured firm to touch. Coating on floors must be able to support foot traffic. Scrub the first coat with soap and water and thoroughly rinse and dry.

If the first coat cures more than 24 hours, sand or mechanically abrade the surface after scrubbing it down. Any surface to be touched up or recoated should be protected. When the recoat material is applied the surface must be dry and free of all dirt, dust, debris, oil, grease or other contamination.

This product requires a heated plural component airless spray proportioner

Immediately before applying spray coat, stripe all welds and edges to assure adequate protection of these areas

Adjust pressure to 50-70 lbs and open the valves at the manifold and purge materials at the spray gun

Attach spray tip and begin to spray

Dependent upon tip size, each pass will be 200-350 microns per pass

Apply material to specified thickness (for example, tank lining 875-1000 microns, structural steel 375-500 microns)

Apply criss-cross multi-passes, moving gun at a fairly rapid rate and maintaining a wet-appearing film

Use a wet film gauge to monitor film build
