Typical Applications
Ore and coal handling equipment, chutes, pumps, impellers, propellers, valves, hydro-wheels, and pipe elbows. Suitable for any high-wear immersion or non-immersion application.
WARNING: See Material Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before handling this product.
Surface Preparation
Metal surfaces must be cleaned, degreased, and abrasive blasted with chloride-free abrasive. Grind flat all burrs, weld seams, and sharp edges. Rebuild fresh-blasted surfaces as quickly as possible to prevent oxidation.
- Exterior applications: SSPC SP-6 Commercial Finish — 4 mil profile minimum
- Immersion applications: SSPC SP-10 Near White Metal — 4 to 6 mil profile
- Concrete: Degrease, neutralize, and ensure surface is fully dry before application.
Mixing
Thoroughly mix Activator into Base using a mixing stick, scraping the sides and bottom of the container until the material is an even color with no streaks.
- By volume: 1 part Base to 1 part Activator
- By weight: 100 g Base to 100 g Activator
Never thin this product.
Application
Apply using a heavy plastic squeegee or putty knife. Work the material firmly into the substrate profile to maximize adhesion and eliminate trapped air. Contour to the correct form with a putty knife or plastic applicator.
- If using a mold or form, coat its surface with a release agent before application.
- Machining is possible using diamond-tipped tools only.
- Grinding must be done within 2 hours of application at 77°F. Add 1 hour per 10°F below 77°F; subtract ½ hour per 10°F above 77°F.
Application Temperature
- Material: 55°F – 95°F (17°C – 35°C)
- Substrate: 45°F – 105°F (7°C – 40°C)
- Max temp differential between material and substrate: 10°F (5°C)
- Dew point: Substrate must be minimum 5°F (3°C) above dew point
- Max relative humidity: 90%
For cold conditions, the Base component can be warmed in a microwave for 30 seconds (1 KG unit) or in a warm water bath. Heat Activator by warm water bath only. Allow material to cool to working temperature before applying if overheated.
Do not use gas, oil, or kerosene heaters — these leave residue on metal surfaces that will compromise adhesion. Use electric heaters or heat lamps only.
Overcoat & Cure Times (at 77°F / 25°C)
- Recoat window: 2 to 4 hours (while material is still soft)
- Maximum overcoat time: 12 hours
- Full cure before immersion: 36 hours at 77°F
- Force cure option: 1 hour at 200°F (93°C), or 12 hours at 120°F (49°C)
If the overcoat window is exceeded, abrade the surface with coarse sandpaper, a grinder, or brush blast before recoating.
Clean Up
Clean tools immediately after use.
- Standard: Acetone or Methyl Ethyl Ketone (M.E.K.)
- Solvent-controlled environments: 98%+ Isopropyl Alcohol
