    TECHNICAL DATA SHEET

    WAVEGUARD-3000
    SPLASH ZONE COMPOUND
    (UNDERWATER EPOXY PATCHING COMPOUND)

    DESCRIPTION:
    Waveguard-3000 is a two component solvent free epoxy patching compound specifically developed
    for application to either dry or wet surfaces. It adheres to wet substrates and cures rapidly both in air
    or while immersed in fresh or salt water. It protects against costly damage due to impact and
    abrasion from work boats, debris and ice. It is recommended to seal small holes / cracks in boats,
    and is recommended to arrest corrosion in splash zone areas of bulkheads, pilings, bridge abutments,
    drilling rigs, water and sewerage treatment tanks and other marine structures. This product should
    not be applied at temperatures less than 60ºF.

    TECHNICAL DATA:
    COLOR & FINISH: Olive Green, Semi-Gloss
    MIXING RATIOS': 1:1 by volume
    (Available in 2-gal.kit & 2 qt. kit)
    SOLIDS BY VOLUME: 100%
    VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS: 0.02 lb./gallon
    RECOMMENDED DRY FILM THICKNESS: 1/8 inch/3 mm (per Application)
    THEORETICAL SPREADING RATE: 12 sq. ft./gallon
    DRYING TIME AT 75ºF:
    A. TO TOUCH: 3 hrs.
    B. TO HANDLE: 6 hrs.
    C. TO RECOAT: 8 hrs.
    SHELF LIFE: 12 months
    POT LIFE AT 75ºF (25ºC): 1.5-2.5 hrs.
    TEMPERATURE RESISTANCE: 300ºF -350ºF
    CLEAN UP THINNER: R-300

    SURFACE PREPARATION: For best results, sandblast to remove rust, scale, barnacles, oil, paint,
    etc. where the purpose of the coating is to arrest corrosion in the Splash-Zone areas of marine
    structures. The surfaces should be cleaned over an area extending from the top of the Splash-Zone
    to a depth of one to two feet below the water level. Sandblasting can be done with conventional
    equipment below water as well as above.

    WAVEGUARD-3000
    SPLASH ZONE COMPOUND
    (UNDERWATER EPOXY PATCHING COMPOUND)

    MIXING: Splash Zone Compound 3000 is supplied as two components. Mix equal parts of
    Components "A" and "B" together by hand or power mixer until a uniform color is obtained with no
    streaks. Because of the high viscosity of the components, a power driven stirrer greatly facilitates the
    mixing operation. Do not over-mix even after uniform olive green color is obtained as it will shorten
    the pot life.

    APPLICATION: Splash-Zone Compound-3000 may be applied by hand. The applicator should wear
    a skin diver's wet suit, rubber gloves, a life jacket, with a lifeline secured to the structure. An outfit
    of this type provides warmth, buoyancy, protection against cuts, and overall safety. Best results are
    obtained if a heavy layer of the coating material is applied above the water line and held in place until
    it grips the underlying surface.

    The material should then be smeared uniformly up and down over the area to be coated and edges
    should be feathered. To assure adequate coverage, the applicator should aim for a film thickness of
    1/8 inch each in 3 or 4 applications for long term protection. When temperature is high 27ºC (80ºF)
    or greater, only mix the amount that can be applied within 30 minutes. The material may still appear
    to be usable after the time limit is exceeded, but it will not properly adhere to the substrate after
    application and curing. After material has been applied at 1/8 inch, at 27ºC (80ºF), you can recoat
    after 6 hours. At 32ºC (90ºF), recoat after 8 hours.

    When applying under water: The coating is easily molded to this thickness if the rubber gloves are
    kept wet. An alternate method is to smear apply the compound to strips of fiberglass cloth or canvas
    ducking. The coating membrane should then be pressed carefully against the surface to replace
    water and tied down. In rough waters or currents it is helpful to spiral wrap the applied compound
    with glass cloth, canvas or burlap to prevent damage to freshly applied splash zone compound.
