Carboline Carboglas 1601 SG is an extremely durable and chemically resistant cladding utilizes a multi-step curing process that incorporates chemically-fused glass flake reinforcing in a highly cross-linked polyester matrix.
Carboline Carboglas 1601 SG is an extremely durable and chemically resistant cladding utilizes a multi-step curing process that incorporates chemically-fused glass flake reinforcing in a highly cross-linked polyester matrix.
Excellent resistance to both organic and mineral acids
Excellent abrasion and impact resistance
Excellent resistance to bleach solutions and free chlorine
Outstanding long-term protection
Carboline Carboglas 1601 SG provides an extremely durable barrier against a variety of exposures including marine, fresh water, salt water, both mineral and organic acids, bleach solutions, and free chlorine.
The multi-layer glass-flake reinforcement greatly impedes the penetration of water and other corrosives making this system extremely long performing.
It is ideal for long-term performance on offshore and other structures exposed to severe marine exposures above of below the water line. It is suitable for immersion, splash or spill or fume exposures in the aggressive chemicals mentioned or wherever severe impact or abrasion is required. As a tank lining for a variety of acids, hypochlorites and free chlorine. Properties such as retention of adhesion and impact resistance allow its use in lining large steel tanks.
Examples of uses in chemical processing plants are the lining of filter tanks, brine tanks, vacuum dryers, settling tanks, tank trailers, etc. Other uses include tank bottoms in the petroleum industry, pulpers and storage tanks in paper mils, ship hulls and rudders and splash zone areas on offshore structures.

Non-Continuous: 250°F (121°C)
Theoretrical Coverage Rate:
1572 ft²/gal at 1.0 mils (38.6 m²/l at 25 microns)
79 ft²/gal at 20.0 mils (1.9 m²/l at 500 microns)
Allow for loss in mixing and application
Dry Film Thickness:
20 mils (508 microns) per coat
Limitations:
Immersion service in alkalis or aromatic solvents.
Application on concrete or other cementitious surfaces.
Topcoats:
Not recomnended
Shelf Life:
Part A: Min. 12 months at 75°F (24°C)
Catalyst: Min. 6 months at 75°F (24°C)
Additive #47: 6 months at 75°F (24°C)
Storage:
Store Indoors at temperature 40°-110°F (4°-43°C) Humidity: 0-100%
Storage Temperature & Humidity:
Carboglas 1601 SG Catalyst is a strong oxidizing agent and should be stored separately. In cases where temperatures are consistenly above 75°F (24°C), refrigerating the product preserves its reactivity. The shelf life of Additive #47 is also shortened by higher temperatures.
Flash Point:
Part A: 90°F (32°C)
Catalyst: 137°F (58°C)
Additive # 47: 88°F (31°C)

The above guidelines are for mixed material using normal catalyst levels.
The Dry to Recoat times listed indicate the time at which the film is partially cured with a slight surface tack (ideal for topcoating).
If the film becomes hard (without tackiness) the surface must be treated with xylol or other suitable aromatic solvent prior to recoating.
Alternatively (or if solvent treatment does not create a "tacky" surface), sweep blasting may be used to prepare the surface for recoating
Force curing is recommended for all severe or critical services as curing at elevated temperatures increases chemical resistance to some exposures.
Cure the applied film for 4 hours @75°F with good ventilation and then raise the temperature 30 degrees (°F) every 30 minutes until 130°F is achieved and hold for 24 hours.

The above guidelines are for mixed material using double the normal catalyst levels.
The Dry to Recoat times listed indicate the time at which the film is partially cured with a slight surface tack (ideal for topcoating).
If the film becomes hard (without tackiness) the surface must be treated with xylol or other suitable aromatic solvent prior to recoating.
Alternatively (or if solvent treatment does not create a "tacky" surface), sweep blasting may be used to prepare the surface for recoating.
Note: Immersion exposures are limited to salt water immersion only when cured at 45°F (7°C) when using double the catalyst levels.
Surface Preparation
General
Properly prepared bare steel only
Remove all dirt, dust, oil and all other contaminants from the surface to be coated with Thinner #2 or Surface Cleaner #3 (Refer to Surface Cleaner #3 Instructions) in accordance with SSPC-SP1.
Steel
Immersion Service: Abrasive blast to a White Metal Finish in accordance with SSPC-SP5 and obtain a 4-5 mil (100- 125 micron) min. blast profile
Non-Immersion: Abrasive blast to a near White Metal Finish in accordance with SSPC-SP10 and obtain a 4-5 mil (100- 125 micron) min. blast profile.
Concrete / CMU
Not recommended.
Application Methods
Product Information
Mixing:
Power mix Carboglas 1601 SG Part A separately, then add the Catalyst and power mix in the following proportions:
5 Gallon Kit: Part A: 5 Gal: Catalyst: 9.8 fl. oz
1 Gallon Kit: Part A: 1 Gal: Catalyst: 1.97 fl. oz
Pot Life:
At normal catalyst levels (1.97 oz/gal) potlife at 75°F is about 90 min
At double the catalyst level the potlife is reduced to 30 min. At elevated temperatures (90°F) these potlife times will be reduced by 50%. The times will vary due to job site conditions and/or volume mass of mixed material. Pot life ends when coating starts to thicken. Take extreme caution when using additional catalyst levels or when using at higher temperatures.
