DATA SHEET CURATIVE AND PREVENTIVE OSMOSIS TREATMENT TO26 Dual component, thick epoxy resin containing no solvent, for watertight polyester hulls. CHARACTERISTICS This dual component epoxy resin, containing no solvent, for thick application, is recommended for total protection of boats affected by osmosis (600 microns dry) or as a preventive treatment for polyester (400 microns). It offers excellent resistance to water. PREPARATION OF THE SURFACE Curative treatment: This treatment can only be applied to a perfectly dry boat (check with humidity tester). Remove the gel coat completely and the layers of material damaged by osmosis by sanding or planing them down. Rinse with fresh water and leave the boat to dry in order to eliminate any humidity from the hull. Check the amount of humidity with a humidity tester. When the boat is dry, apply the treatment. Preventive treatment: De-wax – remove grease carefully from the new gel coat with the de-waxer DCR900. Then sand the surface of the gel coat lightly (to dull the surface). PREPARATION OF THE PAINT Thoroughly mix the product after having added the two components. For greater precision, mixing by weight is recommended. This product must not be diluted; it contains no solvent. Ratio of the mixture by volume Compound A: 61 Compound B: 39 Ratio of the mixture by weight Compound A: 65 Compound B: 35 APPLICATION Curative treatment: Apply a coat of epoxy resin TO26 with a brush making sure the resin penetrates all the holes and imperfections in order to wet the fibres thoroughly. Leave to dry for 24 hours. Apply putty if necessary. Apply three 200-micron coats of resin TO26 with a roller, leaving 24 hours between each coat, i.e. 600 microns. Leave to dry for 24 hours then apply the primer PR20, then the antifouling. If the last layer remains sticky, rinse with a damp sponge. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE POLYMERISED RESIN Resistance to water: Excellent performance in salt and fresh water. Resistance to abrasion: Excellent.
