DESCRIPTION



CORRO-DUR 258 is formulated for effective field application by brush, roller or plural component heated airless sprayer. The CORRO-DUR 258 formulation is based on a unique resin system which may be applied to damp or wet surfaces. This resin system is toughened with * Kevlar™ fibers to give superior chip resistance and is pigmented with select hard ingredients to further enhance wear resistance.

The cured film is glossy with a slight texture resulting from the fiber reinforcement. Related products have been employed for underwater application and have been subjected to both radiation and DBA testing with excellent results. The resin system used has excellent resistance to commodities such as hydrocarbon oils and fuels, mineral acids and alkalies.


The solvent - free formulation avoids the objectionable odor and explosion hazards of epoxy solvents. Absence of solvent also assures compliance with all present and proposed air pollution regulations and prevent common service problems caused by shrinkage or water sensitivity of residual entrained solvent residues.

SURFACE PREPARATION


STEEL For heavy duty applications it is always preferable to abrasive blast in order to assure maximum performance. CORRO-DUR 258 is extremely tolerant of compromised surface preparation where tight rust of existing coating residues must be overcoat. The solvent- free formula of CORRO-DUR 258 allows applications over existing coatings without softening or swelling, in fact, even Styrofoam TM may be successfully coated with this material. To ensure adhesion over means to provide an anchor profile.
CONCRETE New surfaces must be abrasive blasted or acid etched to remove the superficial layer of laitance. Treat existing coatings as for steel.
UNDERWATER SURFACE Abrasive blast to remove marine growth and corrosion then apply by roller within 45 minutes of surface preparation

APPLICATION


CORRO-DUR 258 is supplied in two gallon (7.6 Liters) units. 1.33 gallons (liters) of epoxy base are filled into a two gallon plastic pail and 0.67 gallons (2.51) of curing agent are filled into a one gallon steel can to yield a 2/1 mixing ratio. Stir the curing agent into the base preferably using a mechanical mixer. Once mixing is complete, start application immediately - CORRO-DUR 258 does not required a "sweat-in" or induction time. Pot life is about 30 minutes at 77°F (25°C), small amounts of epoxy solvent may be added if the mixture begins to thicken noticeably towards the end of its working life. Apply CORRO-DUR 258 using brush or roller. Underwater application is best made using rollers or paint pads after surface preparation by air abrasive or high pressure water blasting to remove loose surface contamination and marine biological fouling.


TEMPERATURE


Temperature will exert a considerable influence on the rate of curing chemically cured coatings such as CORRO-DUR 258. In broad terms expect each 10°C, (18°F), rise or fall in temperature to half or double dry times and pot lives.
