Mixing & Thinning

Mixing
Power mix base, then combine and power mix as

follows. Pour zinc filler very slowly into premixed base
with continuous agitation. Mix until free of lumps. Pour
mixture through a 30 mesh screen. Sifting zinc through
a screen will aid in the mixing process by breaking up
or catching dry zinc lumps. DO NOT MIX PARTIAL
KITS.
Thinning
May be thinned up to 5 oz/gal (4%) with Thinner 26

or 33 for ambient and warm surfaces. For extremely
warm or windy conditions (above 85F/29C)may
be thinned up to 8 oz/gal (6%) with Thinner 254. In
cool weather (below 40F (4C)), thin up to 7 oz/gal
(6%) with Thinner 21. Use of thinners other than those
supplied or recommended by Carboline may adversely
affect product performance and void product warranty,
whether expressed or implied.

Application Equipment Guidelines
Cleanup & Safety
Listed below are general equipment guidelines for the application of this product. Job site conditions
may require modifications to these guidelines to achieve the desired results.
Spray Application The following spray equipment has been

(General)
found suitable and is available from equipment
manufacturers. Keep material under mild agitation
during application. If spraying stops for more than
10 minutes, recirculate the material remaining in the
spray line. Do not leave mixed primer in the hoses
during work stoppages.
Conventional
Spray
Agitated pressure pot equipped with dual regulators,

3/8 I.D. minimum material hose, with a maximum
length of 50 feet; 0.070 I.D. fluid tip and appropriate
air cap.
Airless Spray
Pump Ratio: 30:1 (min.)

GPM Output: 3.0 (min.)
Material Hose: 3/8 I.D. (min.)
Tip Size: 0.019-0.023
Output PSI: 1500-2000 Filter Size: 60 mesh
PTFE packings are recommended and available from
the pump manufacturer.
Brush
For touch-up of areas less than one square foot only.

Use medium bristle brush and avoid rebrushing.
Roller
Not recommended.

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.
Cleanup
Use Thinner 21 or Isopropyl Alcohol. 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 MSDS 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. In addition to ensuring
proper ventilation, appropriate respirators must be
used by all application personnel.

These times are based on a 3.0-4.0 mil (75-100 micron) 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. Humidity levels below 50% will require longer cure times.
Notes: Maximum recoat time is unlimited. Must have a clean, dry surface free of chalk, zinc salts,
etc per typical good painting practices. Consult Carboline Technical Service for specific information.
Also, loose zinc must be removed from the cured film by rubbing with fiberglass screen wire if: 1)
The Carbozinc 11 is to be used without a topcoat in immersion service and "zinc pick up" could
be detrimental, or 2) When "dry spray/overspray" is evident on the cured film and a topcoat will be
applied. For accelerated curing or where the relative humidity is below 40%, allow an initial 2hour ambient cure. Follow 2 hour cure with water misting or steam to keep the coated surface wet
for a minimum of 8 hours and until the coated surface achieves a "2H" pencil hardness per ASTM
D3363.
