#2020 Metal Coating (Ceramic Fortified Acrylic Coating)
DESCRIPTION
SEALMARK # 2020 Metal Coating is a blend of water based acrylic resins, select fillers, ceramic particles, rust inhibiters, and a unique mixture of algaecides and biocides. The #2020 Metal Coating is a high solids
(64% by volume), flexible, waterproof coating formulated for sever duty use. The #2020 cured paint film will not fracture or disbond from the metal substrate from thermal expansion or excessive vibration.
USES
The Sealmark #2020 Metal Coating is formulated for the protection of all structural steel components that are subjected to constant vibration, thermal expansion, salt spray and damp conditions.
COVERAGE
The recommended coverage rate for the Sealmark #2020 Metal Coating is 270 sq ft per gallon. This coverage rate will yield approximately a 6mil wet film thickness. 2 coats at the above coverage rate are required to maximize longevity and ensure waterproofing properties.
PROPERTIES
DRYING TIME- After the application of the Sealmark #2020 Metal Coating, the drying time is dependent on the ambient air temperature and relative humidity (RH). Under normal conditions (70°F and 55% RH) the time elapsed for acceptable curing is a minimum of 2 hours before application of the second coat. After 24 hour period the #2020 coating is in a complete cured form. NOTE: High relative humidity, damp conditions, and cool temperatures will require longer drying times.
APPLICATION PROCEDURES
Job Conditions- Temporary protection shall be provided at all times for a specified duration until the
# 2020 coating has achieved a completely cured state to protect from all weather, natures elements, and other potential damage.
Surface Preparation- Surface must be dry and free of oils, grease, dirt, and loose surface rust. Remove as much surface rust as possible by wire brushing, sanding or sand blasting. Prime all surface area to receive #2020 Metal Coating with Sealmark # 1919 Metal Primer as per manufacturers instructions.
Mixing Procedures- Proper mixing procedure for Sealmark #2020 is to mix gently in pail for 60 seconds with a low RPM drill and standard paint mixing bit.
Application- No special tools or skills are needed for the correct application of the Sealmark #2020 coating. Using a heavy duty paint roller/ applicator, apply Sealmark #2020 in a uniform consistent manner as to completely cover the primed metal substrate. Other approved tools for the application of Sealmark # 2020 include a good quality brush or an approved airless sprayer with 2,800 p.s.i and a minimum tip size of 26/1000th. DO NOT BACK-ROLL or BRUSH OVER AN AREA ONCE the METAL COATING HAS BEEN APPLIED UNTIL DRY. (This will interrupt the uniformity and coverage of the #2020).
Clean Up- Use soap and water for clean up. System materials are water-borne and are non-toxic. Prior to curing, system materials are water soluble. Clean up any spills, overspray, or residue of the system materials before they have time to set. Cured or dried system materials are not water soluble and may prove to be difficult to impossible to remove without damage to substrate or other materials upon which they have dried. Dispose of waste materials and empty containers into an approved waste disposal facility. Never dump materials into storm or sanitary sewers, nor into bodies of water.
STORAGE
Sealmark #2020 Metal Coating must be stored in a continuous environmental temperature of at least 45°F or higher. Storing in temperatures closer to normal room temperature 70°F will result in easier application. ALWAYS AVOID FREEZING. Always store in tightly sealed container and away from direct sunlight. Shelf life of Sealmark # 2020 Metal Coating is for a period of 1 year after products are manufactured.
CAUTIONS
As with any type of application, take the appropriate steps necessary to ensure that clean up of #2020 Metal Coating is achieved with minimal effort. This means properly tarp/secure application area as to prevent unintended application as product may prove to be difficult to remove.
