    Product Specification


    Technical Data
    Carboline Carbomastic 18 FC

    Theoretical Coverage Rate:33.5 m²/l at 25 microns (1363 ft²/gal at 1.0 mils)
    6.7 m²/l at 125 microns (273 ft²/gal at 5.0 mils)
    4.2 m²/l at 200 microns (170 ft²/gal at 8.0 mils)
    Allow for loss in mixing and application
    Dry Film Thickness:127 - 203 microns (5 - 8 mils) per coat
    Normally applied in 175 microns)thicknesses. May be applied up to 20 mils (500 microns) in one or more coats depending on application
    Wet Film Thickness:150 - 590 µm per coat, normally 205 µm
    Dry Temperature Resistance:Continuous: 121°C (250°F)
    Non-Continuous: 149°C (300°F)
    Epoxies discolour (darken) when exposed to elevated temperatures
    Topcoats:Normally not topcoated for submerged exposures, otherwise topcoat according to Carboline recommendations
    Limitations:Epoxies lose gloss, discolour and eventually chalk in sunlight exposure
    Not recommended for immersion in aromatic or ketone solvents or strong oxidizing acids
    Flash Point:Part A: 27°C (80°F)
    Part B: 32°C (90°F)

    Shelf Life: (actual stated shelf life) when kept at recommended storage conditions and in original unopened containers.
    Storage Temperature and Humidity:5°-45°C (40°F-110°F)
    0-100% Relative Humidity



    Drying Times


    Curing Schedule
    Surface Temp.Dry to RecoatFinal Cure
    5°C (41°F)17 Hours15 Days
    10°C (50°F)10 Hours12 Days
    15°C (59°F)6.5 Hours9 Days
    20°C (68°F)4 Hours7 Days
    25°C (77°F)3 Hours5 Days



    • These times are based on a recommended dry film thickness. Higher than recommended film thicknesses, insufficient ventilation, or cooler temperatures will require longer cure times and could result in solvent entrapment and premature failure.
    • Maximum recoating time is 1-2 months depending on temperature and curing conditions. If exceeded, contact Rawlins on Tech - 0113 2455450 (option 2) or [email protected] for further information about recoating procedures.



    Surface Preparation


    General

    • Surfaces must be clean and dry
    • Employ adequate methods to remove dirt, dust, oil, and all other contaminants that could interfere with adhesion of the coating.
    • Carboline Surface Cleaner 3 is recommended
    • Steel, concrete or suitable primer such as Carbozinc 858. Can be applied directly to galvanised steel, aluminium and stainless steel

    Steel

    • Immersion: (SSPC-SP10) with a 2-3 mil surface profile
    • Non-Immersion: (SSPC-SP2) minimum is acceptable



    Application Methods


    Product Information
    Mixing:Power mix separately, then combine and power mix. Do not mix partial kits.
    Thinning:Up to 15% with Thinner 2
    Ratio:1:1 Ratio (Part A to B) by Volume
    Pot Life:2 Hours at 24°C and less at higher temperatures
    Airless Spray:Pump Ratio: 30:1 min
    Volume Output: 3.0 gpm min
    Material Hose: 3/8” I.D. min
    Tip Size: 0.019-0.025”
    Output Pressure: 2200-2400 psi
    Filter Size: 60 mesh
    Brush and Roller:For small areas only. Multiple coats may be required to obtain desired appearance, recommended dry film thickness and adequate hiding. Use a good quality brush or medium nap synthetic core roller.
    Brush:Use a medium bristle brush
    Roller:Use a medium nap phenolic core roller

    • Industry standards are for substrate temperatures to be 5°F above the dew point
    • Condensation due to substrate temperatures below the dew point can cause flash rusting on prepared steel
    • Special application techniques may be required above or below normal application conditions



    Health and Safety


    Clean Up

    • Use Thinner 2
    • In case of spillage, absorb and dispose of in accordance with local applicable regulations

    Safety

    • Read and follow all caution statements on this product data sheet and on the safety data sheet for this product
    • Employ normal workmanlike safety precautions

    Ventilation

    • When used as a tank lining or in enclosed areas, thorough air circulation must be used during and after application until the coating is cured
    • The ventilation system should be capable of preventing the solvent vapor concentration from reaching the lower explosion limit for the solvents used
    • User should test and monitor exposure levels to ensure all personnel are below guidelines

    Caution

    • This product contains flammable solvents. Keep away from sparks and open flames
    • All electrical equipment and installations should be made and grounded in accordance with the applicable local regulations
    • In areas where explosion hazards exist, workmen should be required to use non-ferrous tools and wear conductive and non-sparking shoes
    • Refer to the product data sheet and safety data sheet in the attachments section above for further details
