Chemi-Cote

 

Uses:

Coating for concrete, wood, metal, tanks, and sewage treatment plants where a coating with good chemical resistance is essential.

Technical data:

Mixing Ratio: 2:1. mixing can be facilitated by using a Jiffy mixer and a 600 RPM drill. Mix for a minimum of three minutes or until uniform color is obtained. Pot life 55 minutes at 77° F. Cure time 7 days at 77° F. Do not thin as solvents will prevent proper cure. Bring to 75° F to facilitate mixing and prevent shock on cold surfaces. Do not apply on surfaces under 40° F.

Surface preparation:

Depending on surface, acid etch and rinse thoroughly, sandblast or shotblast.

Coverage:

Apply by roller, squeegee, or airless spray.

Shelf life:

1 year minimum in unopened containers

Handling:

Use barrier creams and disposable rubber gloves. Wash with soap and water. Do not wash hands with solvents. Epoxies contain chemical compounds that may cause allergic skin and respiratory reaction. Harmful if swallowed. Do not get in eyes or on skin. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling

Tool Cleanup:

Wash before epoxy has set with acetone, MEK, Xylene, or toluene, these are all flammable materials. After scraping off excess material, use rags and solvent to finish cleanup. See above handling precautions.
