FARCOTEK ZR

Uses

For use over properly prepared blasted steel in fabrication shops, on bridges or highways, in stadiums and sports complexes, on piping, in refineries, on barges and ships, paper and pulp mills.

Advantages

• Hard tough film
• Pre weigh components
• 90% total zinc in the dry film
• Excellent adhesion and undercutting resistance.
• Excellent adhesion and undercutting resistance.
• Excellent abrasion resistance

Coverage

Wet film thickness: 125-200μm Dry film thickness: 75-125 μm the consumption is 330-550 gr/m²

Instruction for Use

Surface Preparation

• Zinc rich coatings require direct contact between the zinc pigment in the coating and the metal substrate for optimum performance.
• Surface must be dry, free from oil, dirt, dust, mill scale or other Contaminants to ensure adequate adhesion.
• Remove all oil and grease from surface by Solvent Cleaning per SSPC-SP1. Blasted to minimum SA2 1/2 (ISO 8501-1), SSPS-SP10, and obtain 25-50μ (1-3 mils) blast profile.

Mixing

Mix contents of component A and B thoroughly with power agitator.

Then add Part C gradually while mixing and thoroughly agitate the mixture with power agitation. After mixing, pour through a 30-60 Mesh screen. Allow the material to sweat-in as indicated. Re-stir before using, if reducer solvent is used, add only after components have been thoroughly mixed, after sweat-in. Continuous agitation of mixture during application is required, otherwise zinc dust will quickly settle out.

Application

• Temperature: 4˚c minimum and 40˚c maximum (air, surface, and material) At least 3°c above dew point.

Relative humidity: 85% maximum

• For small areas ZR can be applied by brush, if required thinned up to 5% by weight.
• For large areas ZR is applied by airless or conventional spray, if required thinned up to 8% by weight.
