AQUATHANE UA-210 Products
TYPE H         Severe Service
Heavy duty Type H is a reactive polyurethane emulsion designed for use in a wide range of challenging applications. It is a chemical resistant, self-crosslinking aliphatic urethane which resists abrasion and intermittent exposure to water and many chemicals. It is used in interior and exterior concrete floor and deck coating, wood finishing, maintenance coating and many other specialty coatings applications. Clear UA-210 Type H is USDA-accepted for use on incidental food contact surfaces in federally inspected meat and poultry packing plants.

TYPE A/G     Anti-Graffiti 
Similar in composition and appearance to Type H, the A/G formulation incorporates fluoropolymer stain-release agents to facilitate removal of spray paints, inks, crayons, markers and other coatings. Unlike traditional urethane graffiti inhibitors, AQUATHANE UA-210 TYPE A/G does not darken or discolor most surfaces. Low odor application permits easy use and touch-up in interior applications such as school buildings, residential hallways, underground parking structures, elevators and many institutional settings. The product resists hydrocarbon solvents typically incorporated in paints, markers and other coatings, allowing removal by use of similar solvents or proprietary cleaners.

TYPE NCL   Architectural
Use Closely related in composition to Type H, Type NCL omits the self-crosslinking feature to produce more flexible films. Long service life and excellent color and appearance retention make Type NCL the preferred grade for architectural applications. It may be used directly over porous substrates or in conjunction with Type G Bonding Additive over glazed brick, terra cotta, polished stone and other substrates.

TYPE E           Elastomeric
This highly flexibilized grade is designed for use on substrates subject to dimensional change, high deflection or vibration. It may be used over Elastowall 351 and Elasto-Deck 350 breathable coatings, to provide luster and abrasion resistance without compromising crack-bridging performance. It has also been used as a seal coat over thermally sprayed zinc protection systems for steel structures, where the product's excellent resistance to weather and water extend the service life of the protective zinc treatment.

TYPE F               Floor Sealer
Type F provides a tough, traffic resistant film for sealing and dustproofing concrete floors and providing resistance to intermittent exposure to a variety of chemicals.

Additives & METAL PRIMER
Special additives are available to aid in the achievement of particular objectives.

210 (3)TYPE G ADDITIVE: Glass, Ceramic,  Non-Porous Surfaces
For applications on glass, glazed masonry, hard stone, smooth/dense concrete and other non-porous substrates, TYPE G Additive is used to chemically bond AQUATHANE UA-210 coatings to the substrate. The additive reacts with iron, aluminum, limestone, sandstone, concrete, marble, granite, stucco, lime and masonry mortars, resulting in durable adhesion.

 

TYPE A/G ADDITIVE          Stain Release
This fluoropolymer additive may be added to any grade of AQUATHANE UA-210 to improve resistance to staining, paints and markers.

TYPE W/R ADDITIVE    Water Repellent
For some applications, more hydrophobic or water repellent films may be desirable. TYPE W/R Additive may be added to any AQUATHANE UA-210 grade to produce a more pronounced water repellent effect.

AQUAPRIME 211Z         Metal Primer
Corrosion-resistant zinc/acrylic primer for steel, galvanized steel and aluminum.

SAFETY:
AQUATHANE products are low in odor, non-flammable, low VOC, and non-hazardous when used with adequate ventilation and when care is taken to avoid eye and prolonged skin contact.

LIMITATIONS:
AQUATHANE
products are not intended for use in continuous submersion or continuous high humidity exposures. For continuous immersion/high humidity services, we recommend using AQUEPOXY 250 immersion-grade waterborne epoxy coating system.
AQUATHANE UA-210 products must not be applied at temperatures below 50oF(10oC), as improper or damaged films may result.

APPLICATION
1. Preparation:
AQUATHANE UA-210 is supplied ready to use, and is generally not thinned. Flatted formulas may be thinned by additon of 5-10% clean potable water, if necessary. Pigmented formulas should be thoroughly stirred before each use. Applications involving use of Type G bonding additive require addition of the additive as a second component just prior to application. Mixtures with Type G should be used within one day.

Surfaces should be dust free and clean. Remove all grease, oil and other contaminants and roughen previous coatings to the extent required to get good wetting of the substrate. Prior to large-scale application, particularly over plastics, questionable surfaces or previous coatings, apply an inconspicuous test area to confirm adhesion and compatibility. If adhesion is inadequate, consult Edison Coatings, Inc. regarding use of an adhesion-promoting primer.

2. Application: Apply AQUATHANE UA-210 at 200 - 400 sq. ft./gallon by brush, pad, roller or low pressure airless spray. Apply evenly and moderately, avoiding rundown or ponding. Avoid excessive agitation or pressure, and avoid whipping air into the product as this may generate foam. A second coat may be applied, if needed, at any time following through-drying of the first coat. Do not apply at temperatures below 50oF (10oC) or when temperatures may fall below 50oF before through-drying.
NOTE: Temperature, humidity and air movement all effect drying and curing times. When working at marginal conditions, allow sufficient extra dry and cure times to compensate.

On porous surfaces, AQUATHANE UA-210 generally will require 2 or more coats. Gloss may be increased by applying additional coatings as required for particular job conditions.

In anti-graffiti applications , sufficient material must be applied to build a continuous surface film. Generally two coats will be adequate, but deeply textured or highly porous surfaces may require additional coatings. Multiple coatings (three or more) may limit capacity of the coating to "breathe", or transmit vapor.

On wood surfaces, AQUATHANE UA-210 may exhibit slight grain-raising tendencies. For smoothest finish, sand lightly between irst and second coats. On hardwood floors, cedar siding or other natural wood surfaces, staining may be desired prior to AQUATHANE UA-210 application. While the product is compatible with many oil and waterborne stains following overnight drying, compatibility testing in an inconspicuous area is always recommended. Some highly porous or moisture-sensitive fiberboards or simulated wood products may require the use of a sealer/primer before application of AQUATHANE UA-210.

On steel, galvanized steel and aluminum surfaces, abrasive cleaning is required to remove rust, loose scale or other corrosion products. This is followed by application of corrosion-inhibiting, adhesion-promoting primer AQUAPRIME 211.
Over 350-Series coatings, base coats must be thoroughly dry before application.

3. Curing: AQUATHANE UA-210 requires curing time before developing full traffic and chemical resistance. Type A/G Graffiti resistance roughly parallels strength development, indicated above. Protection of surfaces from vandalism for at least 24-48 hours following application is recommended when possible. Cure may be accelerated by heating to 180oF for 20 minutes, following drying. Do not subject uncured films to heavy moisture or standing water.

4. Graffiti Maintenance: AQUATHANE UA-210 Type A/G is intended to withstand repeated cleanings before reapplication is required. Most markers and spray enamels can be removed using Xylenewithout damage to the AQUATHANE UA-210 coating. If stronger removal is required, methyl ethyl ketone may be used. Proprietary cleaners should be tested before use. Some highly durable stains may require the use of a heavy duty paste paint remover. When using strong removal agents, some loss of gloss in the AQUATHANE UA-210 film may occur. This may be restored by light reapplication in the affected areas. After repeated cleanings, if the film appears rough or uneven, it is time for application of an additional AQUATHANE UA-210 Type A/G seal coat.

CAUTION!: Many solvents and cleaners commonly used for removing graffiti are hazardous chemicals requiring special care in storage and handling. Refer to manufacturers' Material Safety Data Sheets before using any chemical product.

5. Storage and Handling: KEEP FROM FREEZING. Keep container closed when not in use. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid splashing into eyes or prolonged skin contact. Wash thoroughly after use. Clean tools and applicators immediately after use with warm water. Avoid depositing on shrubbery, windows, cars and other surfaces or property. In case of eye contact, flush with clean water for at least 15 minutes and consult physician. In case of ingestion, give water, do not induce vomiting. Keep out of reach of children. Observe all safety and handling guidelines as detailed in the Material Safety Data Sheets supplied with this product.
