Product catalog summary
Product Description: Fast Clad ER Epoxy is a high solids epoxy amine coating designed for immersion service in tanks, offering one-coat protection, fast return to service, low VOC, and low odor. It is suitable for application with plural-component equipment and retains over 70% edge build.
Product Characteristics: The epoxy has a gloss finish and is available in White Base, Blue OAP, and Red Oxide colors. It contains 98% volume and weight solids, with a VOC of less than 85 g/L. The mix ratio is 1:1 by volume, and it can be applied up to 60 mils. The drying schedule varies with temperature, with a pot life of 7 minutes and a shelf life of 24 months.
Recommended Uses: Suitable for steel or masonry surfaces in industrial and marine environments, including ballast tanks, oil storage tanks, and pipelines. It meets specific military standards and is compatible with cathodic protection systems.
Performance Characteristics: The epoxy demonstrates excellent abrasion resistance, adhesion, cathodic disbondment, corrosion weathering, impact resistance, and flexibility. It is recommended for various immersion services, including ballast tanks and crude oil.
Surface Preparation: Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of contaminants. Specific standards for steel and concrete preparation are provided, including SSPC and NACE guidelines.
Application Conditions: The application temperature ranges from 40°F to 110°F, with specific guidelines for lower temperatures. Environmental controls are recommended to maintain conditions, and the material should be heated appropriately for optimal application.
Application Equipment: Guidelines for equipment, including plural component equipment and brush or roller use for repairs, are provided. Proper cleaning and reduction practices are outlined.
Safety Precautions: Users should refer to the MSDS sheet before use. Technical data and instructions are subject to change, and users should consult Sherwin-Williams for the latest information.
Warranty: Sherwin-Williams warrants products to be free of manufacturing defects, with liability limited to replacement or refund. No other warranties are expressed or implied.
Specifications: The document specifies a dry film thickness (DFT) of 60.0 mils (1500 microns) if required. Theoretical coverage is 1568 sq ft/gal (38.4 m2/L) at 1 mil/25 microns DFT. Brush or roll application may require multiple coats for uniformity.
Drying Schedule: At 20.0 mils (500 microns) DFT, drying times vary by temperature: 40°F/4.5°C: Touch - 6 hours, Handle - 8-12 hours, Recoat - 6 hours minimum, 14 days maximum, Foot traffic - 8-12 hours, Cure to service - 36 hours. 77°F/25°C: Touch - 1 hour, Handle - 3 hours, Recoat - 1 hour minimum, 14 days maximum, Foot traffic - 3 hours, Cure to service - 24 hours. 100°F/38°C: Touch - 35 minutes, Handle - 55 minutes, Recoat - 35 minutes minimum, 14 days maximum, Foot traffic - 1 hour, Cure to service - 12 hours. Pot life is 7 minutes with no sweat-in-time required.
Application Guidelines: Exceeding recommended spreading rates can affect performance. Clean spills with MEK, R6K10 immediately. Follow safety recommendations for solvents.
Performance Tips: For repairing pitted tank bottoms: Extensive pitting: Options include applying Fast Clad Epoxy Primer or Dura-Plate UHS Clear Laminant Resin, or welding new steel plates. Shallow pitting: Options include using Steel Seam FT910 or similar methods as for extensive pitting. Use a 50% overlap in spray applications to avoid defects. Do not mix previously catalyzed material with new. Remove and clean tip housing every 20-30 minutes.
Safety Precautions: Refer to the MSDS sheet before use. Technical data and instructions may change; consult a Sherwin-Williams representative for updates.
Warranty: Sherwin-Williams warrants products to be free of manufacturing defects. Liability is limited to replacement or refund. No other warranties are expressed or implied.
