APPLICATION:
Marine-FLEX 570 is supplied in preportioned units. Mix the two components thoroughly using slow
speed paddle mixer, mixing for at least 4 minutes and avoiding incorporation of excess air.
Once blended the two surfaces will not separate or bleed if submerged, and application can be
performed in calm, clean water or salt water. Note that pot life is reduced and reaction is accelerated underwater.
Product may also be applied in air, as with other 100% solids epoxy coatings. Submersion is
acceptable at any point in the cure regime, but protect from mechanical damages until cured.
Surface Preparation
is comparable to other high quality, moisture insensitive epoxy coatings. Surfaces should be clean, sound, free of dirt, oil, grease, coatings or other contaminants which may
interfere with adhesion. Loose rust and scale should be removed by mechanical means from steel surfaces. Abrasive blasting is not required, but will aid in maximizing system durability. Concrete
surfaces should be free of laitance, loose surface material or other contaminants.
Apply by brush or roller as required to provide a uniform, continuous coating. In hot weather, on vertical
surfaces, incorporation of upto 3% fumed silica is acceptable. if required to prevent sagging or maintain high film build. Do not apply when air, surface and/or water temperature is below 500F.
A second coat may be applied, if desired, at any time after the first coat has cured to a tack-free state.
Aged surfaces may be recoated by simply cleaning the existing coating surface and reapplying.
SAFETY AND HANDLING:
Read and observe the safety and handling guidelines as detailed in the Material Safety Data
sheets supplied with this product. Avoid skin and eye contact.
Marine-FLEX 570 is non-flammable. Store at moderate temperatures, between 50 and 850F
Keep partially used containers tightly closed.
Shelf life is a minimum of 2 years from date of factory shipment in unopened, properly stored containers.
Used applicators may be disposed of upon curing of the residual coating as non-hazardous waste.
Alternatively, clean up solvent is Xylene or SYSTEM 100 Read and observe the Material Safety Data Sheets for solvents, as supplied by their manufacturers.
FOR COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL USE ONLY.
