MIXING & THINNING

Power mix Phenoline 187 VOC Part A and Hi Performance Catalyst (also known as Phenoline 187
Mixing VOC Part B) separately, then combine and power mix. DO NOT MIX PARTIAL KITS. Requires
short 15 min sweat-in time.

Thinning will be required to properly atomize the mixed material. Thin up to 20% (25 oz/gal) with
Thinning Thinner #2. Use of thinners other than those supplied by Carboline may adversely affect product
performance and void product warranty, whether expressed or implied.

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.

Pressure pot equipped with dual regulators, 3/8” I.D. minimum material hose, .070” I.D. fluid tip and
Conventional Spray appropriate air cap. Adjust air pressure to approximately 50 psi at the gun and provide 10-20 lbs. of
pot pressure.

• Tip Size: .017”-.021”
• Output PSI: 1500-2300
• Filter Size: 60 mesh
Airless Spray • PTFE packings are recommended

Apply a “mist” bonding pass. Allow to dry approximately one minute but not long enough to allow
film to completely dry. Apply crisscross multi-passes, moving gun at fairly rapid rate, maintaining
a wet appearing film. Fast multi-passes may be applied until you have a wet film thickness of
approximately 6-8 mil (150-200 µ). Repeat this procedure for the second coat to obtain an 8-12 mil
(200-300 µ) DFT. Call Tech. Service for Q&A

Condition Material Surface Ambient Humidity
Minimum 50°F (10°C) 50°F (10°C) 50°F (10°C) 0%
Maximum 90°F (32°C) 125°F (52°C) 110°F (43°C) 80%

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.

CURING SCHEDULE
Surface Temp. Dry to Recoat Final Cure Immersion Maximum Recoat Time
50°F (10°C) 36 Hours 14 Days 30 Days
60°F (16°C) 24 Hours 10 Days 21 Days
75°F (24°C) 12 Hours 7 Days 14 Days
90°F (32°C) 6 Hours 5 Days 7 Days

These times are based on a 4.0-6.0 mil (100-150 µ) dry film thickness. Excessive humidity or condensation on the surface during
curing can interfere with the cure, can cause discoloration and may result in a surface haze. Any haze or blush must be removed
by water washing before recoating. If the maximum recoat times have been exceeded, the surface must be abraded by sweep
blasting or sanding prior to the application of additional coats.
Food-grade exposures require force curing at 225°F (107°) for four hours. Raise temperature 30°F (17°C) for every 30 minutes
until temperature is reached. Consult Tech Service for other curing options/schedules.

CLEANUP & SAFETY

Use Thinner #2 or Acetone. In case of spillage, absorb and dispose of in accordance with local
Cleanup
applicable regulations.

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

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
Ventilation the solvent vapor concentration from reaching the lower explosion limit for the solvents used. User
should test and monitor exposure levels to insure all personnel are below guidelines. If not sure or if
not able to monitor levels, use MSHA/NIOSH approved supplied air respirator.

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 National Electric
Caution
Code. In areas where explosion hazards exist, workmen should be required to use non-ferrous
tools and wear conductive and non-sparking shoes.
