Carboline Plasite 4100 is a four-component, high performance lining-grade coating reinforced with inert flake pigments combined with a special curing system to provide outstanding chemical resistance and physical properties.

It has exceptional resistance to inorganic and organic acids, oxidizing agents and salts. It can handle dry heat up to 193°C and will resist condensing acid vapors (sulfuric) typically found in FGD (flue gas desulfurization) systems.

Features and Benefits

• Exceptional resistance to inorganic and organic acids
• Thick film for tank lining service
• Excellent abrasion resistance and hardness
• Handles dry heat to 193°C
• Excellent caustic resistance

Product Specification

• *Note: Above tests were conducted on film cured at 65°C

Drying Times

• The curing schedule above is based on 50% relative humidity. "Set to Handle" times listed are times where the material will tolerate light foot traffic
• Discontinuity testing may be done 48 hours after final coat has been applied at 21°C or 36 hours at 32°C
• Note: Previously applied coating exposed to an accumulation of 24 hours of sunlight (UV) or surface temperatures exceeding 54°C may result in intercoat disbondment. Topcoat within 24 hours; or abrade the surface prior to subsequent coats. If not exposed to UV or elevated temperatures, maximum recoat time is 30 days

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

Steel

High Temperature and Immersion

• Immersion: SSPC-SP5
• Non-Immersion: SSPC-SP10
• Surface Profile: 100 micron dense, sharp anchor profile free of peening, as measured by ASTM D 4417. Defects exposed by blasting must be repaired.

Concrete or CMU

• All concrete requires abrasive blasting to remove laitance and to provide a hard, firm, clean and fully cured concrete surface
• All concrete surfaces are required to be filled and sealed prior to application of PLASITE 4100. Contact Rawlins on Tech - 0113 2455450 (option 2) or [email protected] for recommendations.

Application Methods

Application Conditions

• Material requires a minimum of 21°C for polymerization to occur. Surfaces as low as 16°C can be tolerated for 12 hours, but must be brought back up to 21°C to apply subsequent coats
• NOTE: Any moisture from condensation of any source will kill the cure on freshly applied coating before it reaches a "non-tacky" state.

Health and Safety

Clean Up

• Use Carboline Thinner 76
• 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 SDS for this product. Employ normal workmanlike safety precautions
• Keep container closed when not in use

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 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
• 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
