Features and Benefits

• Excellent overall chemical resistance to a wide range of acids, alkalies and solvents
• Particularly good abrasion resistance and flexibility
• Tack-free in 10 to 12 hours at 21°C
• Cured for service in 7days at 21°C
• Self-priming

Product Specification

*Note: Above tests were conducted on film cured at 65.5°C

Chemical Resistance

• These tests were conducted on mild steel panels
• The panels are one-half immersed in the solution for the noted time with no effect to the coating
• Plasite 9060 can also be used for more aggressive exposures (acids) for intermittent (splash or fume) use

Drying Times

Drying Time

• Surface will normally be tack-free in 10 to 12 hours at 21°C.
• Curing will take place in 5 days at 32.2°C and 7 days at 21°C
• For food grade service contact Rawlins for specific cure instructions

Recoat Time

• Must be topcoated within two weeks for metal temperature exposure to 54.4°C
• For temperature exposure of 55-66°C, must be topcoated in a maximum of 24 hours

Curing

• Normally curing will take place in 5 days at 32.2°C and 7 days at 21°C
• This coating should not be applied when air temperature or temperature of surface to be coated is below 10°C
• Within 24 hours after coating is applied, a minimum substrate temperature of 21°C is required for proper polymerization. In order to insure the complete removal of solvents and odour, force curing is generally recommended when coating is to be used in food related service
• Force cure as follows: An air-dry time of 2 to 5 hours at temperatures from 21°C to 37.8°C should be allowed before force curing.
• After the air dry period substrate temperature should be raised approximately 18°C each 30 minutes until the desired force curing metal temperature is reached. Curing time begins when the specific substrate temperature is reached
• Non-Food related services: 36 hours @ 49°C, 18 hours @ 55°C, 10 hours @ 60°C, 6.0 hours @ 65°C, 4.5 hours @ 71°C, 3.5 hours @ 77°C, 2.5 hours @ 82°C, 2 hours @ 88°C, 1.75 hours @ 93°C
• Final cure may be checked by exposing coated surface to MIBK for ten minutes. If no dissolving and only minor softening of film occurs, the curing can be considered complete. The film should reharden after exposure if cured. Epoxies may form an amine blush under some conditions. Blush must be removed before coating or placing in some services

Surface Preparation

Application Methods

Health and Safety

Clean Up

• Use Carboline Thinner 2, Thinner 71, Thinner 225 E, or Thinner 246
• In case of spillage, absorb and dispose of in accordance with local applicable regulations

Safety

• Observe the precautionary notices on the container label, and read the material safety data sheet before use
• Employ normal workmanlike safety precautions

Ventilation

• When used 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
• If not sure or if not able to monitor levels, use MSHA/NIOSH approved supplied air respirator

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 regulations
