Product catalog summary
Product Description: Fast Clad Epoxy Primer is a high-performance epoxy amine coating designed for use in sea water ballast tanks, fuel/sea water ballast tanks, and petroleum storage tanks. It features rapid drying, low VOC emissions, and suitability for low temperature applications down to 35°F.
Product Characteristics: The primer is blue with a gloss finish, containing 98% solids by volume and weight, and a VOC content of less than 85 g/L. It is mixed in a 1:1 ratio by volume and applied at a wet thickness of 4.0 to 8.0 mils per coat. The pot life is 7 minutes.
Recommended Uses: Ideal for steel or masonry surfaces in industrial and marine settings, including ballast and storage tanks. It complies with MIL-PRF-23236 standards and supports cathodic protection systems.
Performance Characteristics: The primer offers excellent resistance to abrasion, adhesion, corrosion, impact, heat, flexibility, moisture, and salt fog.
Surface Preparation: Surfaces must be clean and dry, with specific preparation standards for different materials and service conditions.
Application Conditions: Apply at temperatures between 40°F and 110°F, with humidity below 85%.
Application Equipment: Use plural component equipment with specified settings. Brush and roller are for repairs only.
Application Procedures: Follow detailed mixing and application instructions, ensuring uniformity and adherence to spreading rates and drying schedules.
Clean Up Instructions: Clean spills and tools with MEK or R6K10 immediately, following safety guidelines.
Safety Precautions: Consult the MSDS sheet and Sherwin-Williams for the latest technical data.
Disclaimer: Information is based on tests by Sherwin-Williams and may change. Warranty covers manufacturing defects, with liability limited to replacement or refund.
Repair Options: For deep pitting, options include applying a full wet coat, using Dura-Plate UHS with fiberglass, or welding new steel. For shallow pitting, use Steel Seam FT910 or follow deep pitting options.
Application Guidelines: Ensure 50% overlap in spray passes, avoid reducing material, and stripe coat critical areas. Do not mix old and new material or exceed pot life.
Immersion Service: Conduct holiday tests per ASTM standards.
Additional Guidance: Use specific topcoats for OAP systems and refer to SSPC-TU 11 for inspection techniques.
Warranty: Products are warranted against manufacturing defects, with liability limited to replacement or refund.
