These times are based on 50-75 microns 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

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

Prime with specific Carboline primers as recommended by Rawlins on Tech – 0113 2455450 (option 2) or technical@rawlinspaints.com

Galvanised Steel

Sa1 and prime with specific Carboline primers as recommended by Rawlins

Aluminium

Sa1 and prime with appropriate Carboline primer as recommended by Rawlins

Previously Painted Surfaces

Lightly sand or abrade to roughen and de-gloss the surface. Existing paint must attain a minimum 3B rating in accordance with ASTM D3359 “X-Scribe” adhesion test
Prime with specific Carboline primers as recommended by Rawlins

Application Methods

Product Information

Mixing:
Power mix Part A separately, then combine with Part B and power mix

Do not mix partial kits

Thinning:
Spray: up to 15% with Thinner 25

Roller: up to 10% with Thinner 215

Use of thinners other than those supplied or recommended by Carboline may adversely affect product performance and void product warranty, whether expressed or implied

Ratio:
4:1 (A to B)

Pot Life:
4 Hours at 24ºC and less at higher temperatures

Pot Life ends when coating becomes too viscous to use. Moisture contamination will shorten Potlife and cause gellation

Conventional Spray
Pressure pot equipped with dual regulators, 3/8” I.D. minimum material hose, .070” I.D. fluid tip and appropriate air cap

Airless Spray:
Pump Ratio: 30:1 min

Volume Output: 3.0 gpm min

Material Hose: 3/8” I.D. min

Tip Size: .015-.017”

Pressure: 148-162 BAR

Filter Size: 60 mesh

Brush and Roller:
Multiple coats may be required to obtain desired appearance, recommended dry film thickness and adequate hiding. Avoid re-brushing or re-rolling. For best results, tie-in within 10 minutes at 24°C

Brush:
Recommended for touch-up only. Use a medium, natural bristle brush

Roller:
Use a short-nap mohair roller cover with phenolic core

Industry standards are for substrate temperatures to be 3ºC above the dew point
This product is moisture sensitive in the liquid stage and until fully cured. Protect from high humidity, dew, and direct moisture contact until fully cured
Application and/or curing in humidity above maximum, or exposure to moisture from rain or dew may result in a loss of gloss and/or micro bubbling of the product

Health and Safety

Clean Up

Use Thinner 2 or Acetone
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 safety data sheet for this product and use personal protective equipment as directed
Hypersensitive persons should wear protective clothing, gloves, and use protective cream on face, hands, and all exposed areas

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
