The material does not adequately cure below 5°C. It may be applied at such temperatures, but a measure of post curing at 15°C or above will be necessary to achieve optimum properties.

Read Health and Safety Data Sheet before handling this material. Avoid contact with skin or eyes. Do not ingest. Wear protective clothing and goggles. Ventilate confined spaces. The base and activator materials are not particularly hazardous and are safe to use provided good hygiene and working practices are observed.

For optimum performance under immersed conditions the  product should be applied to surfaces, grit blasted to ISO 8501-1 Sa 2½ or equivalent. For full details refer to Corrocoat Surface Preparation SP1 or SP2.

Stiff brush or trowel.

Application Two or more coats should be applied in coats of up to 1000 microns.

100pbw: 28.91 act.

The material is supplied in kits consisting of the base component (large tin) together with an appropriate amount of activator. An additional component,(Adhesion Promoter) can also be supplied. Mix the base and activator components thoroughly, until the material is homogenous in colour and consistency. Then immediately prior to application the Adhesion Promoter where used, should be added and mixed well.

As this product contains no solvent, minimum over-coating time is not important except in avoiding disruption and drag of the previous coating.

Short overcoating times as opposed to long overcoating times, are recommended for optimum intercoat adhesion properties. In order to check that surface drag is not likely to occur, a finger or thumb, can be used to pull the surface and where movement is observed, a longer period should be allowed before overcoating. As a guide, minimum overcoating times will generally be as follows:

12°C 12 hours
20°C 10 hours
30°C 8 hours

It is essential, to achieve intercoat adhesion, that the maximum over-coat times are strictly adhered to. These maximum overcoating times are as follows:
Temperature Time
12°C 72 hours
20°C 48 hours
30°C 24 hours

In order to achieve the full properties of this material, a period of 3 days at 20°C should be allowed, before service. Where chemical or erosive forces are likely encountered, a period of 7 days cure, should be allowed. However, due to the cure action of this product, the coating can be put to light aqueous service, as soon as the product has gelled. This should generally be in accordance with the minimum overcoating time. Product will then continue to cure in service.

7 days at 20°C or 4 days at 30°C
NOTE: Cure below 10°C will be slow, exposure to higher temperatures (15°C-35°C) will improve the rapidity and degree of cure achieved. High humidity will extend cure times. Thinners
The product should not require thinning. The use of solvent thinners can lead to solvent entrapment in the film, which will adversely affect performance.

A blend of xylene/n-Butanol at 4:1 v/v may be used. Alternatively, any proprietary epoxy clean-up solvent may be used.

2 years minimum in unopened tins, stored at 5°C-40°C.
