FX-70-9

FX-70-9 was used in the following case studies:

DESCRIPTION:

FX-70-9® Hydro-Ester® Coating is a 100% solids, moisture- insensitive epoxy coating, containing no solvents. FX-70-9®, mixed at a 2:1 ratio, produces a tough, chemical and abrasion-resistant coating for dry or damp surfaces. FX-70-9® Coating is acceptable for contact with potable water.

ADVANTAGES:

FX-70-9® can be applied to concrete, wood or steel. Will cure and adhere in damp enviroments. FX-70-9® has excellent resistance to water, chemicals and hydrogen sulfide.

SURFACE PREPARATION:

Steel Surfaces: Steel surfaces should be abrasion blasted as specified by the SSPC SP-6 Commercial Blast Finish. All work blasted shall be coated the same day with FX-408 Zinc Rich Primer.

Concrete Surfaces: Concrete surfaces shall be cleaned to remove dirt, curing compounds,existing coatings or laitance to provide a clean, sound bonding surface. Cleaning may be accomplished with FX-Masonry Cleaner and water blasting, acid etching and water blasting, abrasion blasting, or other method that would achieve a similar result.

MIXING:

Stir Components "A" and "B" thoroughly before mixing. Combine two (2) parts by volume of "A" with one (1) part by volume of "B" (mixing ratio 2:1). Mix for not less than three (3) minutes with a slow speed drill (300 to 600 rpm), and a FX-Mixing Paddle.

APPLICATION:

FX-70-9® may be applied by brush, roller or spray. All spray equipment must employ traps to prevent water and oil from contaminating coating.

COVERAGE:

FX-70-9® will cover approximately 200 sq. ft. per gal. per coat at a thickness of eight (8) mils, dependent upon surface texture. For best results, use two (2) coats.

PACKAGING:

FX-70-9® is packaged in three (3) gallon, and fifteen (15) gallon units.

LIMITATIONS:

FX-70-9® should not be applied when surface temperatures are below 40°F.

SHELF LIFE:

2 years

CAUTION:

WARNING! A Component contains epoxy resin. DANGER! "B" Component contains alkaline amines; strong sensitizer. May cause skin sensitization or other allergic responses. Use with good ventilation, particularly if material is heated or sprayed. Prevent all contact with skin or eyes. Wear protective clothing, goggles, gloves and/or barrier creams. Keep container closed when not in use. Wash thoroughly after handling.

FIRST AID:

In case of skin contact, immediately wash with soap and water. In case of eye contact, flush eyes with copious amounts of water for at least fifteen (15) minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse.
