Product Information:

 

PolyFlo- Brush Grade Polyurea is a state of the art 100% solids, flexible plural component elastomeric brush grade repair material. Brush Grade Polyurea is based on proprietary polyurea polymers and a modified amine curing mechanism. Brush Grade Polyurea is designed to be mixed by hand and applied using a brush technique giving rapid and consistent cure in applications ranging from

-20°F to 300°F. The Brush Grade system is specifically designed for repair of the PolyFlo spray polyurea elastomer systems. Applications can be reopened to traffic and service in 60 minutes. Can also be utilized for casting type applications. Brush Grade Polyurea has no VOC's.

Application

Apply Brush Grade Polyurea to clean, dry sound surfaces free of loose particles or other foreign matter. The "B" component resin blend, MUST be added to the "A" component at a 1:1 by volume ratio. Do small quantities at a time. Once the "B" component is added to the "A" component mix for 10-15 seconds. You will then have 10 minutes to get the product applied to the substrate. The existing coating around repair area must be abraided.

Installation

Consult EPC,INC for an approved applicator and for job specific specifications. Apply to clean dry sound surfaces free of loose particles or other foreign matter. Consult EPC INC. for surface preparation and repair procedures.

Limitations

  • Intended for industrial use.
  • Although physical properties will not change, over a period of time color change and superficial oxidation may occur.
  • Consult EPC,INC. for corrosive environment applications.
  • Do not install in hydrostatic or moisture/vapor conditions.
  • Avoid moisture contamination in containers.
  • Refer to MSDS, Instruction Sheet and Product Labels .

Mixing

Agitate resin blend "B" component THOROUGHLY with mechanical means such as paint mixer or jiffy mixer before use, to disperse pigment. Do not thin. (CAUTION - do not agitate in air and moisture.)

Storage/Shelf Life/Precautions

Brush Grade Polyurea components must be stored in their original unopened containers at temperatures between 65°F and 95°F. If the drum temperature falls below this for a few hours the material may increase in viscosity. If this occurs product may be heated to room temperature to reduce the viscosity. Storage at lower temperatures may cause product to freeze, in this event call EPC,INC. In an excess of 100°F a nitrogen atmosphere is recommended for the "B" side.

Shelf life of the materials when kept in unopened sealed containers at the recommended storage conditions is six months. Containers shall not be opened until ready for immediate use. Avoid moisture contamination in containers. Containers should not be resealed if contamination is suspected. Carbon Dioxide gas can result in buildup of pressure inside the closed container. Extreme care must be used to ensure that the containers remain dry and avoid any moisture contamination. Do not attempt to use contaminated material or reuse containers.

General Safety

Read and understand the MSDS provided with all shipments. Always protect eyes and skin. Strictly adhere to the Society of Plastics Industry Safety Standards.

Eye Protection: Safety glasses, goggles, or a face shield are recommended.

Skin Protection: Chemical resistant gloves are recommended. Cover as much of the exposed skin area as possible with appropriate clothing.

Respiratory Protection : Use a respirator approved for isocyanates. Always use products with adequate ventilation and use required PPE. For confined space use fresh air supply.

Ingestion : Do not ingest internally. It is believed ingestion of polymeric isocyanates would not be fatal to humans but may cause inflammation of mouth and stomach tissue.

Warning: Contact with skin or inhalation of vapors may cause an allergic reaction. Avoid eye contact of the liquid or spray mist.
