Notes:

- See ADDITIONAL DATA – Spreading rate and film thickness

- See ADDITIONAL DATA – Overcoating intervals
- See ADDITIONAL DATA – Curing time
- When applying more than one coat, it is recommended that the total DFT should not exceed 250 µm (10.0 mils)
- Color will drift at elevated temperatures

RECOMMENDED SUBSTRATE CONDITIONS AND TEMPERATURES

• Coating performance is proportional to the degree of surface preparation

Substrate conditions

• Steel; pretreated minimum ISO-Sa2 (SSPC SP-6) or higher with blasting profile 25 – 75 µm (1.0 – 3.0 mils)
• For touch up and repair, power tool cleaning in accordance with SSPC SP-11 is acceptable
• Galvanized steel; sweep blasted to roughen the surface to remove any zinc salts which might be present, SSPC
SP-16 with blasting profile 40 – 75 µm (1.5 – 3.0 mils)
• Stainless steel and non-ferrous metal; degreased and sweep blast, SSPC SP-16 with blasting profile 40 – 100 µm
(1.5 – 4.0 mils)
• Concrete / Masonry; see specific primer
• Compatible previous coat must be dry and free from any contamination
• When applied to zinc silicate primer, a mist coat and full coat technique is required. 15% thinning is recommended
for mist coat
• Aged suitable coating must be dry and free from any contamination, it may require abrading prior to applying this
product
• Prepare damaged areas to original surface preparation specifications, feathering edges of intact coating

Substrate temperature

• Substrate temperature during application and curing should be above 0°C (32°F)
• Substrate temperature during application and curing should be at least 3°C (5°F) above dew point
• Relative humidity during application and curing should be between 40% and 85%

Note:

- FD hardener should be used when ambient temperature is below 5°C (40°F)

SYSTEM SPECIFICATION
• Primers: Direct to substrate, DIMETCOTE Series, AMERCOAT 68 Series, AMERLOCK 400 / 2 Series, SIGMAZINC
Series, AMERCOAT Epoxies and SIGMA Epoxies

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Mixing ratio by volume: base to hardener 4:1
