Biowash Concentrate

Typical Test Data
T.B. Numbers refer to specific Technical Bulletins which are available on request.

MIX RATIO
After cleaning to remove heavy growth, apply undiluted to visible contamination. For areas of suspected contamination, dilute at a rate of 3 parts water to 1 of Biowash Concentrate.

SOLIDS CONTENT
6.3% by volume.

SHELF LIFE
>12 months.

MAXIMUM COVERAGE RATE
0.1 l./m² (10 m²/l.). Note: Rough, porous, absorbent or undulating surfaces will inevitably increase the quantity of Biowash required.

DRY/CURE TIME
n/a

OVERCOAT TIME
When visibly dry.

PACK SIZES
5 litres and 25 litres.

Bonding Primer

Typical Test Data
T.B. Numbers refer to specific Technical Bulletins which are available on request.

MIX RATIO
4:1 (A:B) by weight and volume.

SOLIDS CONTENT
15% by volume when mixed.

MAXIMUM COVERAGE RATE
0.08 l./m² (12 m²/l.) on non-absorbent substrates.
0.125 l./m² (8 m²/l.) on prepared, dry concrete.
0.17 l./m² (6 m²/l.) or 2 coats, each at 0.08 l./m² on green, uncured, damp cementitious surfaces.
Note: Rough, porous, absorbent or undulating surfaces will inevitably increase the quantity of primer required.

DRY/CURE TIME
½ to 1 hour at 35° C.; 1½ to 2 hours at 20° C.; 2½ to 3½ hours at 5° C. (Note: Very high humidity will increase drying time by 1 to 2 hours.)

OVERCOAT TIME
1 to 2 hours at 35° C.; 2½ to 3½ hours at 20° C.; from 4 hours at 5° C. (Note: Coatings should be applied when the primer has cured. As noted above, curing may be retarded in conditions of high humidity. Application should take place within 7 days - ideally within 24 hours; any further delay will require a further coat of primer. However, when overcoating with Sterisheen, the primer should ideally be allowed to cure for at least 6 hours.)

PACK SIZES
5 litre and 25 litre composite packs.

Epoxy Metal Primer

Typical Test Data
T.B. Numbers refer to specific Technical Bulletins which are available on request.

MIX RATIO
1:1 by volume.

SOLIDS CONTENT
87% by volume (mixed).

MAXIMUM COVERAGE RATE
0.125 l./m² (8.0 m²/l.). Note: Rough or undulating surfaces will inevitably increase the quantity of primer required.

DRY/CURE TIME
6 hours touch dry; 20 hours through dry; 7 days full cure at 20° C. High humidity may retard curing.

OVERCOAT TIME
Minimum of 16 hours (usually overnight). Coatings should be applied within 2 days for high demand applications, and within 7 days for all other applications. Any further delay will require a further coat of primer.

PACK SIZES
5 litre composite (2.5 litre pigmented base in a 5 litre tin and 2.5 litre activator in a 2.5 litre tin).

Aqueous Metal Primer

Typical Test Data
T.B. Numbers refer to specific Technical Bulletins which are available on request.

MIX RATIO
n/a

SOLIDS CONTENT
45% by volume.

MAXIMUM COVERAGE RATE
0.11 l./m² (9 m²/l.). Note: Rough, porous, absorbent or undulating surfaces will inevitably increase the quantity of primer required.

DRY/CURE TIME
½ hour at 20° C.; 1 ½ hours at 2° C. High humidity may retard curing.

OVERCOAT TIME
Minimum ½ hour, ideally within 24 hours; maximum 7 days. If the primer is left longer than 7 days and the surface is dry and undamaged, clean the surface and reprime.

PACK SIZES
5 litres and 25 litres.

Tiecoat Sealer

Typical Test Data
T.B. Numbers refer to specific Technical Bulletins which are available on request.

MIX RATIO
n/a

SOLIDS CONTENT
38% by volume.

MAXIMUM COVERAGE RATE
0.2 l./m² (5 m²/l.). Tiecoat Sealer should be applied as a “flood coat.” Complete surface wetting is essential. Note: Rough, porous, absorbent, highly oxidised or undulating surfaces will inevitably increase the quantity of Tiecoat Sealer required.

DRY/CURE TIME
1 to 2 hours in dry conditions at 20° C followed by a hardening period. Tiecoat Sealer may exhibit a patchy appearance on drying due to differences in absorption across the substrate. High humidity may retard curing.

OVERCOAT TIME
Overnight, ideally within 2 days; 7 days maximum. If the primer is left longer than 7 days, apply a further coat of Tiecoat Sealer.

PACK SIZES
5 litres and 25 litres.
