Product Specification

Drying Times

• These times are based on 40-50 microns dry film thickness. Higher film thickness, insufficient ventilation or cooler temperatures will require longer cure times and could result in solvent entrapment and premature failure

Surface Preparation

General

• Surface 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

Steel

• SSPC-SP1 and prime with specific Carboline primers as recommend by Carboline

Application Methods

Application Conditions

• This product simply requires the substrate temperature to be above the dew point
• Condensation due to substrate temperatures below the dew point can cause flash rusting on prepared steel and interfere with proper adhesion to the substrate
• Special application techniques may be required above or below normal application conditions

Health and Safety

Clean Up

• Use Thinner 2 or Acetone
• In case of spillage, absorb and dispose of in accordance with applicable local 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. If not sure or if not able to monitor levels, use MSHA/NIOSH approved 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 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
