SOLVENT BASED PITCH EXTENDED EPOXY RESIN COATING

Preparation
It is essential that adequate preparation is carried out prior to the application of SpECcoat PE145. For concrete and steel surfaces, grit blasting is recommended. Steel surfaces should be prepared to bright metal Standard. The preparation should ensure the removal of old coatings, laitance, grease and oil.

Any imperfections or ‘blow holes’ should be filled using SpECcoat BC.

Mixing
SpECcoat PE145 is supplied in a two-component kit consisting of a base component and a curing agent.

The contents of the base can should be stirred thoroughly to disperse any settlement. The entire contents of the hardener can should then be added to the base container and mixed thoroughly until a uniform colour and consistency are obtained, taking particular care to scrape the sides and bottom of the container. It is recommended that mechanical mixing be employed using a Jiffy mixer on a heavy duty, slow speed electric drill.

Application
SpECcoat PE145 may be applied by brush, roller or airless spray. The application should produce an even coverage without pinholes.
The first coat should be worked well into the surface. The top coat should then be applied within 24 hours. Any condensation that has formed on the first coat should be wiped off before applying the second coat.
