Description
Carboline Polyclad ARO is a two-component, high performance pipe coating specially designed for the protection of FBE coated pipeline from gouge and mechanical damage during directional drilling or slip bore installations. Polyclad ARO is applied directly over FBE as an abrasion resistant overlay (ARO) and provides superior protection in rocky, rough, and mountainous environments. It absorbs the destructive energy and minimizes coating damage

| Reasons To Use Polyclad ARO | ||
|---|---|---|
| Performance Feature | Advantage | Benefit |
| Rapid cure to handle | Applicator can run QC quickly and take the pipe off the line quicker | Allows the applicator to improve production by speeding up throughput |
| Superior gouge & abrasion resistance | Helps protect the FBE during installation and directional drilling operations | Allows for the Polyclad ARO coated pipe to be used in the most severe condition and still protect the FBE layer |
| High-build (125+ mils in a single coat) | Thick film application allows you to complete a given job in a single coat | Complete any job quicker; reduces man hours, thereby reducing the overall costs |
| Superior barrier properties | Improves the barrier performance of FBE | Improves the performance of the coating system and extends the life cycle of the pipeline |

Surface Preparation
| Preparation | |
|---|---|
| General: |
Surfaces must be properly cleaned Employ adequate methods to remove dirt, dust, oil, and all other contaminants that could interfere with adhesion of the coating Contact Rawlins for specific recommendations |
| Steel: |
Polyclad ARO is specifically designed to go over prepared FBE or other coatings as recommended Contact Rawlins on Tech - 0113 2455450 (option 2) or [email protected] for recommendations over blasted steel |
| FBE |
Prepare FBE, Polyclad 975 or other base coating by abrading the surface to remove gloss and create a profile Wipe the abraded surface with MEK or other approved solvents to clean and remove dust and debris Methods to abrade the surface include, sweep blasting or sanding the surface using a 60-grit sandpaper |
Application Methods
| Product Information | |
|---|---|
| Mixing: |
General Mixing Guidelines: Power mix Part B until the pigments are dispersed in to a homogenous liquid Part A does not need to be mixed DO NOT BATCH MIX A and B |
| Thinning: | Do not thin |
| Ratio: | 2:1 by volume (B:A) |
| Spray Application: |
Applicators must be trained and familiar with the application of these type 100% solids fast set high build coatings Carboline Technical Service must review the project specifications and approve of the applicator prior to the start of the project. Contact Rawlins for further details Applicators must follow the proper safety guidelines, operation, and maintenance of the spray equipment |
| Airless Spray: |
Use only heated plural component airless equipment with 2:1 mix ratio The plural airless pump must have a minimum capability of two gallons per minute with a fluid pressure of up to 3,000 psi The recommended spray system is a WIWA DUOMIX 333 or WIWA PU 460 plural component system utilizing typical transfer pumps to supply both the resin and catalyst to the spray system, inline heaters capable of heating the material up to 130 degrees F as needed, heated hose bundle, and a Graco Fusion #310648E Solvent Purge Plural Component Gun with integrated static mixer. Other equipment of equal capabilities may suffice. Contact Rawlins for alternate spray equipment recommendations We recommend that the applicator perform a mock-up prior to and after mobilizing to the jobsite to be sure all equipment is performing properly |
| Brush and Roller (General): |
This product is not designed to be brushed or rolled. Repairs can be done by spray |
