Virtually HAPs free, ultra-low VOC
High durability in challenging environments
Abrasion resistant
Resists dirt pickup, easily cleaned
Can be applied directly to zinc primers as a 2-coat system
Can be applied direct-to-steel in ISO 12944 C1-C3 environments
COLOR AND GLOSS Gloss
Standard and Custom Colors available
Yellow, red, and orange colors will fade faster than other colors due to the replacement of lead-based pigments
with lead free pigments in these colors.
BASIC DATA
Volume solids 90% 3%
VOC* 0.7 lbs/gal (84 g/L)
* The mixed and applied coating cure reaction will produce VOC of mixed alcohols. For 100 g/l VOC
requirements, a VOC - exempt thinner such as 97-939 may be used as needed.
Recommended
Dry film thickness* 3 - 7 mils per coat (75-175 microns)
* When applying more than one coat, it is recommended that the total dry film thickness not exceed 10 mils.
Theoretical Spread Rate 1444 ft

Components 2
Dry Temperature Resistance* Continuous 200F Intermittent 250F (<5% of the time, max 24 hours)
* Color will drift at elevated temperatures.
Shelf Life 2 years from date of manufacture when stored indoors in the original unopened
container. Store product in dry conditions at temperatures of 40-100F
SURFACE PREPARATION Coating performance is proportional to the degree of surface preparation.
Steel Abrasive blast to SSPC SP-6 or higher with an angular 1.0-3.0 mil surface profile.
Or see instructions for specific primer
Apply PSX 700 as soon as possible to prevent the blasted surface from rusting.
Keep moisture, oil, grease, or other organic matter off surface before coating.
For touch up and repair, power tool cleaning in accordance with SSPC SP-11 is
acceptable.
Concrete See specific primer
Non-Ferrous Metals and Abrasive blast in accordance with SSPC SP-16 guidelines to achieve a uniform and
Stainless Steel dense 1.5-4.0 mil anchor profile. Size and hardness of abrasive should be adjusted
as necessary based on the hardness of the substrate. Aluminum may be treated
with a surface treatment compliant with Mil-DTL-5541 or equivalent (non-immersion
applications only).
Galvanized Steel Remove oil or soap film with detergent or emulsion cleaner. Lightly abrasive blast
with a fine abrasive in accordance with SSPC SP-16 guidelines to achieve a profile of
1.5-3.0 mils. When light abrasive blasting is not possible, galvanizing can be treated
with a suitable zinc phosphate conversion coating. Galvanizing that has at least 12
months of exterior weathering and has a rough surface with white rust present may
be over-coated after power washing and cleaning to remove white rust and other
contaminants. The surface must have a measurable profile.

A test patch is recommended to confirm adhesion. Not recommended over chromate
sealed galvanizing without blasting to thoroughly remove chromates. Adhesion
problems may occur.
Aged Coatings Contact your PPG representative. A test patch of PSX 700 over in-tact clean
coating and observation for film defects and adhesion over a period of time may be
required, dependent upon the type of coating.
PSX 700 is compatible over Amercoat 450-series.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

Note: PSX 700 should be allowed to reach a Dry-to-Touch condition before force curing
above 140F
General air quality Area should be sheltered from airborne particulates and pollutants. Ensure good
ventilation during application and curing. Provide shelter to prevent wind from affecting
spray patterns.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Mixing ratio by volume 4 parts base to 1 part hardener
Only mix full kits. Pre-mix base component with a pneumatic air mixing at moderate
speeds to homogenize the container. Pour in the hardener component and power
agitate until thoroughly mixed.
Pot life
Airless spray Standard airless spray equipment, 30:1 pump or larger, 0.015 0.017 fluid tip
recommended
Air spray Thin up to 10%, standard conventional equipment, 0.070 fluid orifice. A moisture and oil
trap in the main line is recommended. Separate regulators for air and fluid pressure are
recommended. Use an agitated pressure pot.
Brush & roll Use a well loaded, high quality natural bristle brush. Maintain a wet edge.
Use a high quality, well loaded, solvent resistant, low nap (1/4-3/8) roller. Amercoat 851
flow control additive may be used to enhance flow and leveling of brush strokes and
roller stipple.
Be aware that multiple coats may be required to achieve uniform and sufficient film
thickness to provide proper hiding when applying by brush or roller.
Thinner Amercoat 911, Amercoat 101 (recommended for > 90F)

SURFACE PREPARATION Coating performance is, in general, proportional to the degree of surface preparation.
Abrasive blasting is usually the most effective and economical method.When this is
impossible or impractical, Amerlock 2 can be applied over mechanically cleaned
surfaces. All surfaces must be clean, dry and free of all contaminants, including salt
deposits. Contact PPG for maximum allowable salt containment levels.
Mild Steel Remove all loose rust, dirt, grease or other contaminants by one of the following
depending on the degree of cleanliness required: SSPC-SP2, 3, 6, 7 or 10 (ISO
8501-1 St-2, St-3, Sa 1, Sa 2.5). The choice of surface preparation will depend on
the system selected and end-use service conditions.
For more severe service and immersion, clean to SSPC-SP10 (ISO8501-1 Sa 2.5).
Blast to achieve an anchor profile of 1.0-5.0 mils (25-125 microns) as indicted by a
Keane-Tator Surface profile Comparator or Testex Tape. Previously blasted steel
may be ultra-high pressure water jetted to SSPC SP WJ-2(L) / NACE WJ-2(L).
The wet surface can be dried by blowing with dry compressed air giving special at-
tention to horizontal surfaces and recesses.
Concrete Prepare / clean surface in accordance with SSPC SP-13 guidelines. Abrade surface
per ASTM D-4259 to remove all efflorescence and laitance, to expose sub-surface
voids, and to provide a surface roughness equivalent of 60 grit sandpaper or
coarser. Test for moisture by conducting a plastic sheet test in accordance with
ASTM D4263. Fill voids as necessary with Amercoat 114A epoxy filler. For slabs on
grade, test for moisture in accordance with ASTM F1869 (calcium chloride test).

page 1/4
The maximum allowable moisture transmission is 3 lbs / 1,000 ft
2
/24 hours. Refer to
Information Sheet 1496ACUS for further details regarding moisture measurements.
Galvanized Steel Remove oil or soap film with detergent or emulsion cleaner. Lightly abrasive blast
with a fine abrasive in accordance with SSPC SP-16 guidelines to achieve a profile of
1.5-3.0 mils. When light abrasive blasting is not possible, galvanizing can be treated
with a suitable zinc phosphate conversion coating. Galvanizing that has at least 12
months of exterior weathering and has a rough surface with white rust present may
be over-coated after power washing and cleaning to remove white rust and other
contaminants. The surface must have a measurable profile. A test patch is recom-
mended to confirm adhesion. Not recommended over chromate sealed galvanizing
without blasting to thoroughly remove chromates. Adhesion problems may occur.
Non-Ferrous Metals and Abrasive blast in accordance with SSPC SP-16 guidelines to achieve a uniform and
Stainless Steel dense 1.5-4.0 mil anchor profile. Size and hardness of abrasive should be adjusted
as necessary based on the hardness of the substrate. Aluminum may be treated
with a surface treatment compliant with Mil-DTL-5541 or equivalent (non-immersion
applications only).
Aged coatings All surfaces must be clean, dry, tightly bonded and free of all loose paint, corrosion
products or chalky residue. Abrade surface, or clean with Prep 88. Amerlock 2 is
compatible over most types of properly applied and tightly adhering coatings, however,
a test patch is recommended to confirm compatibility.
Repair Prepare damaged areas to original surface preparation specifications, feathering
edges of intact coating. Thoroughly remove dust or abrasive residue before touch-up.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
Ambient temperatures* 20F to 122F (-6C to 50C)
* Amerlock 400 hardener can be used with the Amerlock 2/400 base component for applications that require a
long pot life. The A component is the same for Amerlock 400 and Amerlock 2. The B components are inter-
changeable.
Material temperatures 40F to 90F (5C to 32C)
Relative humidity 0 to 100%, surface must be free of visible moisture. For immersion service and for
optimum performance, surface temperature must be at least 5F above the dew point
temperature.
Surface temperature 20F to 122 F (-6C to 50C)
* Amerlock 2 may be applied to surfaces as hot as 250F (121C) for non-immersion service. When applying
Amerlock 2 to surfaces between 122F and 250F, Amerlock 2 must be thinned at 1/2 pint per gallon with only
Amercoat 101 thinner. Multiple thin passes may be required to achieve film build and to avoid solvent blistering.
General air quality Area should be sheltered from airborne particulates and pollutants. Avoid combustion
gases or other sources of carbon dioxide that may promote amine blush. Ensure good
ventilation during application and curing. Provide shelter to prevent wind from affecting
spray patterns. Refer to Information Bulletin #1489 for further information on prevention,
detection, and mitigation of amine blush.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

DRY/CURE TIMES Amerlock 2 @ 5 mils dft
Amerlock 2 Aluminum @ 5 mils dft
* Dry times are dependent on air and surface temperatures as well as film thickness, ventilation, and relative
humidity. Maximum recoating time is highly dependent upon actual surface temperatures not simply air
temperatures. Surface temperatures should be monitored, especially with sun-exposed or otherwise heated
surfaces. Higher surface temperatures shorten the maximum recoat window. An extended recoatable window
may be allowable in some circumstances. Please contact your PPG PMC representative for more details.
Surface must be clean and dry. Any contamination must be identified and removed. A detergent wash with
Prep 88 or equivalent is required prior to application of topcoats after 30 days of exposure. However, particular
attention must be paid to surfaces exposed to sunlight where chalking may be present. In those situations, a
further degree of cleaning may be required. PPG Technical Service can advise on suitable cleaning methods.
If maximum recoat/topcoat time is exceeded, then roughen surface.

contaminants, oil and grease in accordance with SSPC SP-1.
Abrasive blast with an angular abrasive to an SSPC SP-10 cleanliness or higher for
immersion service. Achieve a surface profile of 2.0-4.0 mils. For atmospheric service,
abrasive blast to SSPC SP-6 standards.
The product may be applied over an SSPC WJ-2(L) where a previous blast profile
can be exposed.
For maintenance and repair in atmospheric service, the product can be applied
over surfaces prepared in accordance with SSPC SP-2 or SSPC SP-3 (hand and
power tool cleaning).
Amercoat 114A may be used as a pit filler for severely pitted steel and surface dis-
continuities.
Check with PPG technical service for the maximum allowable soluble salt level for
water immersion service. This will vary based on the water chemistry and service
temperatures.
Non-ferrous metals Lightly abrasive blast in accordance with SSPC SP-16 to achieve a uniform and
dense 1.5-4.0 mil anchor profile.
Aged Coatings and Repairs Ensure the coating system is sound and well adhered. Do not apply over acrylic

DRY/CURE TIMES* Amerlock 2AL @ 5 mils dft
* Dry times are dependent on air and surface temperatures as well as film thickness, ventilation, and relative
humidity. Maximum recoating time is highly dependent upon actual surface temperatures not simply air
temperatures. Surface temperatures should be monitored, especially with sun-exposed or otherwise heated
surfaces. Higher surface temperatures shorten the maximum recoat window.
Surface must be clean and dry. Any contamination must be identified and removed. A detergent wash with
Prep 88 or equivalent is required prior to application of topcoats after 30 days of exposure. However, particular
attention must be paid to surfaces exposed to sunlight where chalking may be present. In those situations, a
further degree of cleaning may be required. PPG Technical Service can advise on suitable cleaning methods.
If maximum recoat/topcoat time is exceeded, then roughen surface.

SURFACE PREPARATION Coating performance is, in general, proportional to the degree of surface preparation.
Steel Remove weld spatter, protrusions, and laminations in steel. Grind welds smooth in
accordance with NACE RP-0178. Remove all surface contaminants, oil and grease
in accordance with SSPC SP-1. Abrasive blast with an angular abrasive to a SSPC
SP-10 cleanliness or higher for immersion service. Achieve a surface profile of 2.0-
4.0 mils. For atmospheric service, abrasive blast to SSPC SP-6 standards.
The product may be applied over a SSPC SP WJ-2(L) where a previous blast pro-
file can be exposed.
For maintenance and repair in atmospheric service, the product can be applied
over surfaces prepared in accordance with SSPC SP-2 or SSPC SP-3 (hand and
power tool cleaning).
Amercoat 114A may be used as a pit filler for severely pitted steel and surface dis-
continuities. Check with PPG technical service for the maximum allowable soluble
salt level for water immersion service. This will vary based on the water chemistry
and service temperatures.
Concrete Prepare / clean surface in accordance with SSPC SP-13 guidelines. Abrade surface
per ASTM D-4259 to remove all efflorescence and laitance, to expose sub-surface
voids, and to provide a surface roughness equivalent of 60 grit sandpaper or
coarser. Test for moisture by conducting a plastic sheet test in accordance with
ASTM D4263. Fill voids as necessary with Amercoat 114A epoxy filler. For slabs on
grade, test for moisture in accordance with ASTM F1869 (calcium chloride test).
The maximum allowable moisture transmission is 3 lbs / 1,000 ft
2
/24 hours. Refer to
Information Sheet 1496ACUS for further details regarding moisture measurements.

Galvanized Steel Remove oil or soap film with detergent or emulsion cleaner. Lightly abrasive blast
with a fine abrasive in accordance with SSPC SP-16 guidelines to achieve a profile of
1.5-3.0 mils. When light abrasive blasting is not possible, galvanizing can be treated
with a suitable zinc phosphate conversion coating. Galvanizing that has at least 12
months of exterior weathering and has a rough surface with white rust present may
be over-coated after power washing and cleaning to remove white rust and other
contaminants. The surface must have a measurable profile. A test patch is recom-
mended to confirm adhesion. Not recommended over chromate sealed galvanizing
without blasting to thoroughly remove chromates. Adhesion problems may occur.
Non-Ferrous Metals and Abrasive blast in accordance with SSPC SP-16 guidelines to achieve a uniform and
Stainless Steel dense 1.5-4.0 mil anchor profile. Size and hardness of abrasive should be adjusted
as necessary based on the hardness of the substrate. Aluminum may be treated
with a surface treatment compliant with Mil-DTL-5541 or equivalent (non-immersion
applications only).
Aged Coatings and Repairs All surfaces must be clean, dry, tightly bonded and free of all loose paint, corrosion
products or chalky residue. Abrade surface, or clean with Prep 88. Amerlock 2VOC
is compatible over most types of properly applied and tightly adhering coatings, how-
ever, a test patch is recommended to confirm compatibility.
Repair Ensure the coating system is sound and well adhered. Do not apply over acrylic
coatings or coatings that exhibit poor solvent resistance. A test patch is
recommended. Sweep blast or otherwise thoroughly abrade the existing coating in
accordance with SSPC SP-7. Alternately, Prep 88 may be used to prepare some
existing coatings. Please refer to Prep 88 data sheet for details. Feather the edges
of tightly adhered, in-tact coatings at the perimeter of repair areas. Power tool clean
the existing steel in accordance with SSPC SP-3 (atmospheric service) or SSPC
SP-11 (immersion service).

SURFACE PREPARATION Coating performance is, in general, proportional to the degree of surface preparation.
Abrasive blasting is usually the most effective and economical method. When this is
impossible or impractical, Amerlock 400 can be applied over mechanically cleaned
surfaces. All surfaces must be clean, dry and free of all contaminants, including salt
deposits. Contact PPG for maximum allowable salt containment levels.
Mild Steel Remove all loose rust, dirt, grease or other contaminants by one of the following
depending on the degree of cleanliness required: SSPC-SP2, 3, 6, 7 or 10 (ISO
8501-1 St-2, St-3, Sa 1, Sa 2.5). The choice of surface preparation will depend on
the system selected and end-use service conditions.
For more severe service and immersion, clean to SSPC-SP10 (ISO8501-1 Sa 2.5).
Blast to achieve an anchor profile of 1.0-5.0 mils (50-75microns) as indicted by a
Keane-Tator Surface profile Comparator or Testex Tape. Previously blasted steel
may be ultra-high pressure water jetted to SSPC -SP WJ-2(L) / NACE WJ-2(L).
The wet surface can be dried by blowing with dry compressed air giving special
attention to horizontal surfaces and recesses.
Concrete Prepare / clean surface in accordance with SSPC SP-13 guidelines. Abrade surface
per ASTM D-4259 to remove all efflorescence and laitance, to expose sub-surface
voids, and to provide a surface roughness equivalent of 60 grit sandpaper or
coarser. Test for moisture by conducting a plastic sheet test in accordance with
ASTM D4263. Fill voids as necessary with Amercoat 114A epoxy filler. For slabs on
grade, test for moisture in accordance with ASTM F1869 (calcium chloride test).
The maximum allowable moisture transmission is 3 lbs / 1,000 ft
2
/24 hours. Refer to
Information Sheet 1496ACUS for further details regarding moisture measurements.

Galvanized Steel Remove oil or soap film with detergent or emulsion cleaner. Lightly abrasive blast
with a fine abrasive in accordance with SSPC SP-16 guidelines to achieve a profile
of 1.5-3.0 mils. When light abrasive blasting is not possible, galvanizing can be
treated with a suitable zinc phosphate conversion coating. Galvanizing that has at
least 12 months of exterior weathering and has a rough surface with white rust
present may be over-coated after power washing and cleaning to remove white rust
and other contaminants. The surface must have a measurable profile. A test patch
is recommended to confirm adhesion. Not recommended over chromate sealed
galvanizing without blasting to thoroughly remove chromates. Adhesion problems
may occur.
Non-Ferrous Metals and Abrasive blast in accordance with SSPC SP-16 guidelines to achieve a uniform and
Stainless Steel dense 1.5-4.0 mil anchor profile. Size and hardness of abrasive should be adjusted
as necessary based on the hardness of the substrate. Aluminum may be treated
with a surface treatment compliant with Mil-DTL-5541 or equivalent (non-immersion
applications only).
Aged coatings All surfaces must be clean, dry, tightly bonded and free of all loose paint, corrosion
products or chalky residue. Abrade surface, or clean with Prep 88. Amerlock 400 is
compatible over most types of properly applied and tightly adhering coatings, however,
a test patch is recommended to confirm compatibility.
Repair Prepare damaged areas to original surface preparation specifications, feathering
edges of intact coating. Thoroughly remove dust or abrasive residue before touch-up.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
Ambient temperatures* 40F to 122F (5C to 50C)
20F to 122 F (-6C to 50C) with 1 pint per gal of Amercoat 861 accelerator per 5 gal
* Amerlock 2 hardener can be used with the Amerlock 2/400 base component for faster cure and curing in lower
temperatures. The A component is the same for Amerlock 400 and Amerlock 2. The B components are
interchangeable.
Material temperatures 40F to 90F (5C to 32C)
Relative humidity 0 to 100%, surface must be free of visible moisture. For immersion service and for
optimum performance, surface temperature must be at least 5F above the dew point
temperature.

20F to 122 F (-6C to 50C) with 1 pint of Amercoat 861 thinner per 5 - gallons
* Amerlock 400 may be applied to surfaces as hot as 250F (121C) for non-immersion service. When applying
Amerlock 400 to surfaces between 122F and 250F, Amerlock 400 must be thinned at 1/2 pint per gallon with only
Amercoat 101 thinner. Multiple thin passes may be required to achieve film build and to avoid solvent blistering.
General air quality Area should be sheltered from airborne particulates and pollutants. Avoid combustion
gases or other sources of carbon dioxide that may promote amine blush. Ensure good
ventilation during application and curing. Provide shelter to prevent wind from affecting
spray patterns. Refer to Information Bulletin #1489 for further information.

* Dry times are dependent on air and surface temperatures as well as film thickness, ventilation, and relative
humidity. Maximum recoating time is highly dependent upon actual surface temperatures not simply air
temperatures. Surface temperatures should be monitored, especially with sun-exposed or otherwise heated
surfaces. Higher surface temperatures shorten the maximum recoat window. An extended recoatable window
may be allowable in some circumstances. Please contact your PPG PMC representative for more details.
Surface must be clean and dry. Any contamination must be identified and removed. A detergent wash with
Prep 88 or equivalent is required prior to application of topcoats after 30 days of exposure. However, particular
attention must be paid to surfaces exposed to sunlight where chalking may be present. In those situations, a
further degree of cleaning may be required. PPG Technical Service can advise on suitable cleaning methods.
If maximum recoat/topcoat time is exceeded, then roughen surface.

DRY/CURE TIMES* Amerlock 400VOC @ 5 mils dft
ACCELERATED DRY TIMES Amerlock 400VOC w/ 1 pint Amercoat 861 per 5 gallons @ 5 mils dft
* Dry times are dependent on air and surface temperatures as well as film thickness, ventilation, and relative
humidity. Maximum recoating time is highly dependent upon actual surface temperatures not simply air
temperatures. Surface temperatures should be monitored, especially with sun-exposed or otherwise heated
surfaces. Higher surface temperatures shorten the maximum recoat window
Surface must be clean and dry. Any contamination must be identified and removed. A detergent wash with
Prep 88 or equivalent is required prior to application of topcoats after 30 days of exposure. However, particular
attention must be paid to surfaces exposed to sunlight where chalking may be present. In those situations, a
further degree of cleaning may be required. PPG Technical Service can advise on suitable cleaning methods.
If maximum recoat/topcoat time is exceeded, then roughen surface.

SURFACE PREPARATION Coating performance is, in general, proportional to the degree of surface preparation.
Use of Amerlock Sealer provides a viable options for coating projects where abrasive
blasting is not possible, but it is not a performance substitute for abrasive blasting in
many circumstances.
Steel Remove all rust, dirt, moisture, grease or other contaminants from the surface.
Power tool clean in accordance with SSPC SP-3 or hand tool clean to SSPC SP-2
requirements. Alternately, abrasive blast to SSPC SP-7 requirements. Abrasive
blasting to SSPC SP-6 or better is also allowable. Amerlock Sealer may be applied
over waterjetted surfaces as well.
Aluminum Remove all rust, dirt, moisture, grease or other contaminants from the surface.
Treat with chromating conversion coatings or phosphatizing agents. Applicable over
surface treatments such as MIL-C-5541. Alternately, lightly abrasive blast with fine
abrasive to produce a uniform and dense anchor profile of 1-3 mils.
Galvanizing or Galvalume

Remove oil or soap film with detergent or emulsion cleaner, then use a phosphatizing
conversion coating. Alternately, power tool clean to uniformly abrade the surface or
lightly abrasive blast with a fine abrasive to produce a uniform and dense anchor
profile of 1-3 mils.
Galvanizing that has had at least 12 months of exterior weathering may be coated
after power washing to remove all contaminants and white rust. Galvanized surfaces
that have been passivated with a chromate treatment must be lightly abrasive
blasted. Coatings may not adhere to chromate sealed galvanizing if the chromates
are not completely removed.
Concrete New Slabs All surfaces to be coated must be strong and sound, contain no
additives or hardeners, and should not be treated with other sealers or conventional
curing compounds containing waxes, silicones, or silicates. New slabs (horizontal
surfaces), should have a float or broom finish as described in ACI Specification
301. Finishing shall be within Class A tolerance when using Amerlock Sealer as a
concrete curing compound and applying an epoxy surfacing.
AMERLOCK

Sealer
page 1/3
When using Amerlock Sealer as a curing compound, product should be applied to
the concrete within 72 hours after placement of concrete and as soon as forms can
be removed. Please refer to System Guide #1441 for further information.
Existing Concrete Water cured concrete or existing structures must be cured for a
minimum of 14 days and have attained 80 percent of its final strength. When cured,
the surface must be either prepared per ASTM D 4259 or ASTM D 4260 with
muriatic acid using equal parts of acid to water by volume. Surface should be free
of any oil, grease, embedded chemicals, laitance, water repellants, previous
sealants, form release compounds, and effluoresence. The surface should be
checked for moisture transmission in accordance with ASTM F1869 (calcium
chloride test) or by ASTM D4253 (plastic sheet test). The maximum recommended
moisture transmission rate is 3 lbs / 1,000 ft
2
/ 24 hours.
A suitably finished surface must have a uniform surface texture exposing fine
aggregate resembling coarse sandpaper. If required, repeat acid etching or
abrasive blasting until the surface texture is uniform.
Concrete surfaces cured with conventional curing compounds or contaminated with
form oils must be completely cleaned by ASTM D4259. Acid etching is not
acceptable as it will not normally remove these compounds.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
Ambient temperatures 40F to 120F (5C to 49C)

DRY/CURE TIMES Amercoat One
* Dry times are dependent on air and surface temperatures as well as film thickness, ventilation, and relative
humidity. Thicker films will require longer dry times since the product requires moisture to cure. Maximum
recoating time is highly dependent upon actual surface temperatures not simply air temperatures. Surface
temperatures should be monitored, especially with sun-exposed or otherwise heated surfaces. Surface must
be clean and dry. Any contamination must be identified and removed.

in accordance with SSPC SP-1.
Abrasive blast with an angular abrasive to an SSPC SP-10 cleanliness or higher.
Achieve a surface profile of 2.0-4.0 mils.
Amercoat 114A may be used as a pit filler for certain applications. Check with PPG
Technical Service for guidance on chemical resistance.
Check with PPG technical service for the maximum allowable soluble salt level for
water immersion service. This will vary based on the water chemistry and service
temperatures.
Concrete Prepare / clean surface in accordance with SSPC SP-13 guidelines. Abrade surface
per ASTM D-4259 to remove all efflorescence and laitance, to expose sub-surface
voids, and to provide a surface roughness equivalent of 60 grit sandpaper or
coarser. Test for moisture by conducting a plastic sheet test in accordance with
ASTM D4263. Fill voids as necessary with Amercoat 114A epoxy filler.
Galvanized Steel Remove oil or soap film with detergent or emulsion cleaner. Lightly abrasive blast
with a fine abrasive in accordance with SSPC SP-16 guidelines to achieve a profile
of 1.5-3.0 mils. When light abrasive blasting is not possible, galvanizing can be
treated with a suitable zinc phosphate conversion coating. Galvanizing that has at
least 12 months of exterior weathering and has a rough surface with white rust
present may be over-coated after power washing and cleaning to remove white rust
and other contaminants. The surface must have a measurable profile. A test patch
is recommended to confirm adhesion. Not recommended over chromate sealed
galvanizing without blasting to thoroughly remove chromates. Adhesion problems
may occur.

Heat Cure Procedures
1. Allow the final coat of the lining to achieve a dry hard condition prior to heating above
120F .
2. Do not heat cure until after holiday detection has been accomplished (when specified).
3. Ramp heat at a rate of no greater than 2F / minute to the target temperature.
4. Surface temperatures must be measured at various elevations from top to bottom and
in each cardinal direction. The lowest surface temperature must meet the minimum
time/temperature requirements of the heat cure schedule. Record all temperatures.
5. All adjacent tanks must be empty.
* Dry times are dependent on air and surface temperatures as well as film thickness, ventilation, and relative
humidity. Maximum recoating time is highly dependent upon actual surface temperatures not simply air
temperatures. Surface temperatures should be monitored, especially with sun-exposed or otherwise heated
surfaces. Higher surface temperatures shorten the maximum recoat window.
Surface must be clean and dry. Any contamination must be identified and removed. Particular attention must
be paid to surfaces exposed to sunlight where chalking may be present. In those situations, a further degree of
cleaning may be required. PPG Technical Service can advise on suitable cleaning methods. If maximum
recoat/topcoat time is exceeded, then roughen surface.

4. Surface temperatures must be measured at various elevations from top to bottom and
in each cardinal direction. The lowest surface temperature must meet the minimum
time/temperature requirements of the heat cure schedule. Record all temperatures.
* Dry times are dependent on air and surface temperatures as well as film thickness, ventilation, and relative
humidity. Maximum recoating time is highly dependent upon actual surface temperatures not simply air
temperatures. Surface temperatures should be monitored, especially with sun-exposed or otherwise heated
surfaces. Higher surface temperatures shorten the maximum recoat window.
Surface must be clean and dry. Any contamination must be identified and removed. Particular attention must
be paid to surfaces exposed to sunlight where chalking may be present. In those situations, a further degree
of cleaning may be required. PPG Technical Service can advise on suitable cleaning methods. If maximum

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Application Equipment Spray with a bottom fed pressure pot outfitted with a pole gun. A Quikspray

Carrousel
pump equipped with a hopper feed, spray gun and material lines can also be used.
Also, a Super Texan

hopper feed grout/mortar sprayer with a pole gun can be used.


Mixing ratio Mix full units as packaged only. Up to 20% of the powder can be left out for a less
viscous mixture if desired. Mix with a heavy duty Jiffy mixer with a 1/2" shaft and suitable
power drill.
Pre-mix base component with a pneumatic air mixing at moderate speeds to homogenize
the container. Add hardener to base and agitate with a power mixer for 1-2 minutes until
completely dispersed. Slowly add powder under moderate agitation in a vortex.
Ensure powder component is fully incorporated with good off-bottom mixing. Do not
over-mix. Be prepared to apply the product due to a short pot life for this product. No
induction time is required.
Pot life (minimize material temperatures for optimum pot life)
1. Mix a unit of resin and cure for lubricating the material line (do not add powder).
2. Pump lubricant material through the pump and delivery hose, collecting the material
in a 5-gallon can. Continue pumping until all lubricant (resin and cure) is removed
from the material, follow lubricant material with a mixed unit of resin, cure, and powder.
Begin application of the 3-component material.
3. Spray in even, parallel passes. Overlap each pass 50% to avoid areas of low film
thickness.
4. Back roll with a short nap, solvent resistant roller wetted with a small amount of
Amercoat 65 thinner to level the film. Alternately, wet a flat hand trowel with a slight
amount of Amercoat 65 thinner to smooth and level the mortar.
5. At surface temperatures of 80F or higher, two coats of Amercoat 100A may be
required to achieve a 3/16 film on vertical surfaces. Make the first application at
1/8. Allow to cure overnight. Make a second application at 1/16 within 24 hours of
the initial application.
6. Immediately after use, clean all application tools and spray equipment with Amercoat
104 cleaner followed by a clean water. Clean pump by pouring a unit of Amercoat
104 cleaner following Amercoat 100A and run until Amercoat 100A is removed from
the material line. Pour a second unit of Amercoat 104 Cleaner into the hopper and
continue circulating to remove any remaining 100A. Follow with a clean water rinse.
For thorough cleaning of the material line, disassemble and clean by attaching a rag
to a piece of wire and pulling the rag through the line several times to remove any
deposits from the side walls. Flush with water. A spare material line is recommended
so one line can be thoroughly cleaned while the other is in use. It also allows for
close inspection of the lines for wear.
DRY/CURE TIMES Amercoat 100A
* Dry times are dependent on air and surface temperatures as well as film thickness, ventilation, and relative

SURFACE PREPARATION Coating performance is, in general, proportional to the degree of surface preparation.
Abrasive blasting is usually the most effective and economical method. When this is
impossible or impractical, coating can be applied over mechanically cleaned surfaces.
Amercoat 235 may be used over most types of tightly adhering coatings prepared
with Prep 88. A test patch is recommended for use over existing coatings.
The surface preparation recommended for Amercoat 235 is to include removal of
water, salt, dirt, oil, loose rust and all rust scale. The minimum standard for non-
immersion service is Steel Structures Painting Council Standard SSPC SP-2; for
immersion service, the minimum standard is SSPC SP-3, in each case a coat of
Amerlock Sealer followed by a full coat of Amercoat 235 can also be used.
Steel For immersion, abrasive blast SSPC SP-10 with an angular 2.0-4.0 mil anchor profie.
All direct to metal coatings provide the maximum performance over near white
blasted surfaces. There are, however, situations and cost limitations, where grit
blasting to near white metal is not possible. Amercoat 235 was designed to provide
excellent protection over less than ideal surface preparation. SSPC SP WJ-2(L) is
also acceptable over a previous blasted surface. For water immersion, the
maximum recommended soluble salt level is 70 mg/m
2
. For NAVSEA applications,
the maximum allowable soluble salt level is 30 mg/m
2
.
Concrete Prepare / clean surface in accordance with SSPC SP-13 guidelines. Abrade surface
per ASTM D-4259 to remove all efflorescence and laitance, to expose sub-surface
voids, and to provide a surface roughness equivalent of 60 grit sandpaper or
coarser. Test for moisture by conducting a plastic sheet test in accordance with
ASTM D4263. Fill voids as necessary with Amercoat 114A epoxy filler.
Galvanized Steel Remove oil or soap film with detergent or emulsion cleaner. Lightly abrasive blast
with a fine abrasive in accordance with SSPC SP-16 guidelines to achieve a profile
of 1.5-3.0 mils. When light abrasive blasting is not possible, galvanizing can be
treated with a suitable zinc phosphate conversion coating. Galvanizing that has at
least 12 months of exterior weathering and has a rough surface with white rust

present may be over-coated after power washing and cleaning to remove white rust
and other contaminants. The surface must have a measurable profile. A test patch
is recommended to confirm adhesion. Not recommended over chromate sealed
galvanizing without blasting to thoroughly remove chromates. Adhesion problems
may occur.
Non-Ferrous Metals and Abrasive blast in accordance with SSPC SP-16 guidelines to achieve a uniform and
Stainless Steel dense 1.5-4.0 mil anchor profile. Size and hardness of abrasive should be adjusted
as necessary based on the hardness of the substrate. Aluminum may be treated
with a surface treatment compliant with Mil-DTL-5541 or equivalent (non-immersion
applications only).
Aged coatings All surfaces must be clean, dry, tightly bonded and free of all loose paint, corrosion
products or chalky residue. Abrade surface, or clean with Prep 88. Amercoat 235 is
compatible over most types of properly applied and tightly adhering coatings, however,
a test patch is recommended to confirm compatibility.
Repair Prepare damaged areas to original surface preparation specifications, feathering
edges of intact coating. Thoroughly remove dust or abrasive residue before touch-up.

DRY/CURE TIMES Amercoat 235 @ 5 mils dft
* Antifouling coatings should be applied when the previous coat is tack free, but impressionable with moderate
finger tip pressure.
Alkyd coatings and waterborne arcylic coatings should be applied after the film is dry through and no greater
than three times the dry through time.
** Dry times are dependent on air and surface temperatures as well as film thickness, ventilation, and relative
humidity. Maximum recoating time is highly dependent upon actual surface temperatures not simply air
temperatures. Surface temperatures should be monitored, especially with sun-exposed or otherwise heated
surfaces. Higher surface temperatures shorten the maximum recoat window.
Surface must be clean and dry. Any contamination must be identified and removed. A detergent wash with
Prep 88 or equivalent is required prior to application of topcoats after 30 days of exposure. However, particu-
lar attention must be paid to surfaces exposed to sunlight where chalking may be present. In those situations,
a further degree of cleaning may be required. PPG Technical Service can advise on suitable cleaning meth-
ods. If maximum recoat/topcoat time is exceeded, then roughen surface.
*** On underwater hull systems, the vessel can be launched after the specified dry-to-launch period indicated in
the application instructions for the antifouling.

SURFACE PREPARATION Coating performance is, in general, proportional to the degree of surface preparation.
Abrasive blasting is usually the most effective and economical method.When this is
impossible or impractical, Amercoat 240 can be applied over mechanically cleaned
surfaces. All surfaces must be clean, dry and free of all contaminants, including salt
deposits. Contact PPG for maximum allowable salt containment levels.
Mild Steel Remove all loose rust, dirt, grease or other contaminants by one of the following
depending on the degree of cleanliness required: SSPC SP-2, 3, 6, 7 or 10 (ISO
8501-1 St-2, St-3, Sa 1, Sa 2.5). These minimum surface preparation standards
apply to steel that has been previously abrasive blasted. The choice of surface
preparation will depend on the system selected and end-use service conditions.
For more severe service and immersion, clean to SSPC SP-10 (ISO8501-1 Sa 2.5).
Blast to achieve an anchor profile of 2-4 mils (50-100microns) as indicted by a
Keane-Tator Surface profile Comparator or Testex Tape. Previously blasted steel
may be ultra-high pressure water jetted to SSPC SP WJ-2(L) / NACE WJ-2(L).
The wet surface can be dried by blowing with dry compressed air giving special
attention to horizontal surfaces and recesses. Amercoat 240 may be applied to
damp surfaces for maintenance and repair operations where dry conditions cannot
be achieved. For optimum performance and service life, surfaces should be dry
whenever possible.
Concrete Prepare / clean surface in accordance with SSPC SP-13 guidelines. Abrade surface
per ASTM D-4259 to remove all efflorescence and laitance, to expose sub-surface
voids, and to provide a surface roughness equivalent of 60 grit sandpaper or
coarser. Test for moisture by conducting a plastic sheet test in accordance with
ASTM D4263. Fill voids as necessary with Amercoat 114A epoxy filler.

Galvanized Steel Remove oil or soap film with detergent or emulsion cleaner. Lightly abrasive blast
with a fine abrasive in accordance with SSPC SP-16 guidelines to achieve a profile
of 1.5-3.0 mils. When light abrasive blasting is not possible, galvanizing can be
treated with a suitable zinc phosphate conversion coating. Galvanizing that has at
least 12 months of exterior weathering and has a rough surface with white rust
present may be over-coated after power washing and cleaning to remove white rust
and other contaminants. The surface must have a measurable profile. A test patch
is recommended to confirm adhesion. Not recommended over chromate sealed
galvanizing without blasting to thoroughly remove chromates. Adhesion problems
may occur.
Non-Ferrous Metals and Abrasive blast in accordance with SSPC SP-16 guidelines to achieve a uniform and
Stainless Steel dense 1.5-4.0 mil anchor profile. Size and hardness of abrasive should be adjusted
as necessary based on the hardness of the substrate. Aluminum may be treated
with a surface treatment compliant with Mil-DTL-5541 or equivalent (non-immersion
applications only).
Aged coatings All surfaces must be clean, dry, tightly bonded and free of all loose paint, corrosion
products or chalky residue. Abrade surface, or clean with Prep 88. Amercoat 240 is
compatible over most types of properly applied and tightly adhering coatings, however,
a test patch is recommended to confirm compatibility.
Repair Prepare damaged areas to original surface preparation specifications, feathering
edges of intact coating. Thoroughly remove dust or abrasive residue before touch-up.
Requirements for Water Ballast Tanks subject to IMO-MSC.215(82) (PSPC):
steel; ISO 8501-3:2006 grade P2, with all edges treated to a rounded radius of
minimum 2 mm or subject to three pass grinding
steel or steel with not approved zinc silicate shop primer; blast cleaned to ISO-Sa 2.5,
blast profile 30 - 75m
steel with approved zinc silicate shop primer,weld seams and areas of damage shop
primer or breakdown should be blast cleaned to ISO-Sa 2.5, blasting profile 30 - 75m
for shop primer with IMO type approval; no additional requirements
for shop primer without IMO type approval; blast cleaned to ISO-Sa2 removing at
least 70%of intact shop primer, blasting profile 30 - 75m

accordance with NACE RP-0178. Remove all surface contaminants, oil and grease
in accordance with SSPC SP-1.
Abrasive blast with an angular abrasive to an SSPC SP-10 cleanliness or higher.
Achieve a surface profile of 2.5-5.0 mils.
Amercoat 114A may be used as a pit filler for certain applications. Check with PPG
Technical Service for guidance on chemical resistance.
Check with PPG technical service for the maximum allowable soluble salt level for
water immersion service. This will vary based on the water chemistry and service
temperatures.
Concrete Remove all surface contaminants such as oil, grease, and embedded chemicals.
Light abrasive blast per ASTM D 4259 to remove all chalk and surface glaze or
laitance. Mechanical surface preparation should expose sub-surface voids and
provide a surface profile equivalent to 60 grit sandpaper or coarser. Ensure surface
is dry with a plastic sheet test in accordance with ASTM D4263.
Non-ferrous metals Lightly abrasive blast in accordance with SSPC SP-16 to achieve a uniform and
dense 2.0 - 4.0 mil anchor profile.
Stainless Steel Abrasive blast with a hard angular abrasive to achieve a uniform and dense anchor
profile of 2.0 - 4.0 mils.

General air quality Area should be sheltered from airborne particulates and pollutants. Avoid combustion
gases or other sources of carbon dioxide that may promote amine blush. Ensure good
ventilation during application and curing. For tank lining, dehumidification equipment is
highly recommended. Provide shelter to prevent wind from affecting spray patterns.
Refer to Information Bulletin #1489 for further information on prevention, detection, and
removal of amine blush.
Ventilation Refer to Information Bulletin #1434 for detailed information on ventilation requirements
for tank lining applications.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

or heated plural component spray 64:1 pump or larger, 0.021-0.025 fluid tip. Use of in-line heaters and insulated lines
may be required for proper atomization in cold weather and with long fluid lines. Use
fluid lines for spray configurations requiring more than 100 feet from the pump
Brush Use a high quality natural bristle brush Ensure brush is well loaded to avoid air entrain-
ment. Multiple coats may be necessary to achieve adequate film build.
Spray application is required for tank linings with the exception of stripe coating and ap-
plication for small repair areas.

DRY/CURE TIMES Amercoat 242HB
Heat Cure Procedures 1. Allow the final coat of the lining to achieve a dry hard condition prior to heating
above 120F.
2. Do not heat cure until after holiday detection has been accomplished (when specified).
3. Ramp heat at a rate of no greater than 2F / minute to the target temperature
4. Surface temperatures must be measured at various elevations from top to bottom and
in each cardinal direction. The lowest surface temperature must meet the minimum
time/temperature requirements of the heat cure schedule. Record all temperatures.

* Dry times are dependent on air and surface temperatures as well as film thickness, ventilation, and relative-
humidity. Maximum recoating time is highly dependent upon actual surface temperatures not simply air
temperatures. Surface temperatures should be monitored, especially with sun-exposed or otherwise heated
surfaces. Higher surface temperatures shorten the maximum recoat window.
Surface must be clean and dry. Any contamination must be identified and removed. Particular attention must
be paid to surfaces exposed to sunlight where chalking may be present. In those situations, a further degree
of cleaning may be required. PPG Technical Service can advise on suitable cleaning methods. If maximum
recoat/topcoat time is exceeded, then roughen surface.

Heat Cure Procedures
1. Allow the final coat of the lining to achieve a dry hard condition prior to heating above
90F to avoid sagging
2. Do not heat cure until after holiday detection has been accomplished (when specified).
3. Ramp heat at a rate of no greater than 2F / minute to the target temperature.
4. Surface temperatures must be measured at various elevations from top to bottom and
in each cardinal direction. The lowest surface temperature must meet the minimum
time/temperature requirements of the heat cure schedule. Record all temperatures.
* Dry times are dependent on air and surface temperatures as well as film thickness, ventilation, and relative
humidity. Maximum recoating time is highly dependent upon actual surface temperatures not simply air
temperatures. Surface temperatures should be monitored, especially with sun-exposed or otherwise heated
surfaces. Higher surface temperatures shorten the maximum recoat window.
Surface must be clean and dry. Any contamination must be identified and removed. Particular attention must
be paid to surfaces exposed to sunlight where chalking may be present. In those situations, a further degree
of cleaning may be required. PPG Technical Service can advise on suitable cleaning methods. If maximum re-
coat/topcoat time is exceeded, then roughen surface.

SURFACE PREPARATION Coating performance is, in general, proportional to the degree of surface preparation.
Abrasive blasting is usually the most effective and economical method.When this is
impossible or impractical, Amercoat 370 can be applied over mechanically cleaned
surfaces. All surfaces must be clean, dry and free of all contaminants, including salt
deposits. Contact PPG for maximum allowable salt containment levels.
Mild Steel Remove all loose rust, dirt, grease or other contaminants by one of the following
depending on the degree of cleanliness required: SSPC SP-2, 3, 6, 7 or 10 (ISO
8501-1 St-2, St-3, Sa 1, Sa 2.5). These minimum surface preparation standards
apply to steel that has been previously abrasive blasted. The choice of surface
preparation will depend on the system selected and end-use service conditions.
For more severe service and immersion, clean to SSPC SP-10 (ISO8501-1 Sa 2.5).
Blast to achieve an anchor profile of 2.0-4.0 mils (50-100 microns) as indicted by a
Keane-Tator Surface profile Comparator or Testex Tape. Previously blasted steel
may be ultra-high pressure water jetted to SSPC SP WJ-2(L) / NACE WJ-2(L).
The wet surface can be dried by blowing with dry compressed air giving special
attention to horizontal surfaces and recesses.
Concrete Prepare / clean surface in accordance with SSPC SP-13 guidelines. Abrade surface
per ASTM D-4259 to remove all efflorescence and laitance, to expose sub-surface
voids, and to provide a surface roughness equivalent of 60 grit sandpaper or
coarser. Test for moisture by conducting a plastic sheet test in accordance with
ASTM D4263. Fill voids as necessary with Amercoat 114A epoxy filler.
Galvanized Steel Remove oil or soap film with detergent or emulsion cleaner. Lightly abrasive blast
with a fine abrasive in accordance with SSPC SP-16 guidelines to achieve a profile
of 1.5-3.0 mils. When light abrasive blasting is not possible, galvanizing can be
treated with a suitable zinc phosphate conversion coating. Galvanizing that has at
least 12 months of exterior weathering and has a rough surface with white rust
present may be over-coated after power washing and cleaning to remove white rust
and other contaminants. The surface must have a measurable profile. A test patch is
recommended to confirm adhesion. Not recommended over chromate sealed galva-
nizing without blasting to thoroughly remove chromates. Adhesion problems may occur.

as necessary based on the hardness of the substrate. Aluminum may be treated
with a surface treatment compliant with Mil-DTL-5541 or equivalent (non-immersion
applications only).
Aged coatings All surfaces must be clean, dry, tightly bonded and free of all loose paint, corrosion
products or chalky residue. Abrade surface, or clean with Prep 88. Amercoat 370 is
compatible over many types of properly applied and tightly adhering coatings, how-
ever, a test patch is recommended to confirm compatibility.

Steel Remove all surface contaminants, oil and grease in accordance with SSPC SP-1.
Abrasive blast with an angular abrasive to an SSPC SP-6 cleanliness or higher.
Achieve a surface profile of 1.5 4.0 mils. The product may be applied over an
SSPC SP-12 WJ-2(L) where a previous blast can be exposed.
For maintenance and repair in atmospheric service, the product can be applied over
surfaces prepared in accordance with SSPC SP-2 or SSPC SP-3 (hand and power
tool cleaning.)
Non-Ferrous Metals and Abrasive blast in accordance with SSPC SP-16 guidelines to achieve a uniform and
Stainless Steel dense 1.5-4.0 mil anchor profile. Size and hardness of abrasive should be adjusted
as necessary based on the hardness of the substrate. Aluminum may be treated
with a surface treatment compliant with Mil-DTL-5541 or equivalent (non-immersion
applications only).
Aged Coatings and Repairs Ensure the coating systemis sound and well adhered. Do not apply over acrylic coatings
or coatings that exhibit poor solvent resistance. A test patch is recommended. Sweep
blast or otherwise thoroughly abrade the existing coating in accordance with SSPC
SP-7. Alternately, Prep 88 may be used to prepare some existing coatings, Please
refer to Prep 88 data sheet for details. Feather the edges of tightly adhered, intact
coatings at the perimeter of repair areas. Power tool clean the existing steel in accor-
dance with SSPC SP-3 (atmospheric service) or SSPC SP-11 (immersion service).

General air quality Area should be sheltered from airborne particulates and pollutants. Avoid combustion
gases or other sources of carbon dioxide that may promote amine blush and ambering
of light colors. Ensure good ventilation during application and curing. Provide shelter to
prevent wind from affecting spray patterns.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Mixing ratio by volume 1 parts base to 1 part hardener
Pre-mix pigmented components with a pneumatic air mixing at moderate speeds to
homogenize the container. Add hardener to base and agitate with a power mixer for 1-2
minutes until completely dispersed.

Safety precautions For paint and recommended thinners see safety sheet 1430, 1431 and relevant material
safety data sheets
This is a solvent borne paint and care should be taken to avoid inhalation of spray mist
or vapor as well as contact between the wet paint and exposed skin or eyes.
DRY/CURE TIMES
* Dry times are dependent on air and surface temperatures as well as film thickness, ventilation, and relative
humidity. Maximum recoating time is highly dependent upon actual surface temperatures not simply air
temperatures. Surface temperatures should be monitored, especially with sun-exposed or otherwise heated
surfaces. Higher surface temperatures shorten the maximum recoat window
Surface must be clean and dry. Any contamination must be identified and removed. A detergent wash with
Prep 88 or equivalent is required prior to application of topcoats after 30 days of exposure. However, particular
attention must be paid to surfaces exposed to sunlight where chalking may be present. In those situations, a
further degree of cleaning may be required. PPG Technical Service can advise on suitable cleaning methods.
If maximum recoat/topcoat time is exceeded, then roughen surface.

a deviation is often obtained between the measured apparent wft and the
real applied wft

this is due to the thixotropy and the surface tension of the paint which
retards the release of air trapped in the paint film for some time

recommendation is to apply a wft which is equal to the specified dft

measuring dry lm thickness
because of low initial hardness the dft cannot be measured within some

measuring wet lm thickness
a deviation is often obtained between the measured apparent wft and the
real applied wft
this is due to the thixotropy and the surface tension of the paint which
retards the release of air trapped in the paint film for some time
recommendation is to apply a wft which is equal to the specified dft
plus 2.5 mils (60 m)

minimum curing time of Phenguard tankcoating system before transport of
cargoes with note 4, 7, 8 or 11: 3 months
for detailed information on resistance and resistance notes, please refer to
the latest issue of the Cargo Resistance List
for transport of methanol and vinyl acetate monomer, a hot cure is required
which cannot be substituted by a service period of 3 months with non-
aggressive cargoes
adequate ventilation must be maintained during application and curing
(please refer to sheets 1433 and 1434)
the performance of the applied system strongly depends on the curing
degree of the first coat at time of recoating. Therefore overcoating time
between 1st and 2nd coat is extended in comparison between 2nd and 3rd
coat (see overcoating details)

measuring wet lm thickness
a deviation is often obtained between the measured apparent wft and the
real applied wft
this is due to the thixotropy and the surface tension of the paint which
retards the release of air trapped in the paint lm for some time
recommendation is to apply a WFT which is equal to the specified dft plus
2.4 mils (60 m)
measuring dry lm thickness
because of low initial hardness the dft cannot be measured within some
days due to the penetration of the measuring device into the soft paint film
the dft should be measured using a calibration foil of known thickness placed
in between the coating and the measuring device

SURFACE PREPARATION
Steel Remove weld spatter, protrusions, and laminations in steel. Grind welds smooth in
accordance with NACE RP-0178. Remove all surface contaminants, oil and grease
in accordance with SSPC SP-1.
Abrasive blast with an angular abrasive to an SSPC SP-10 cleanliness or higher.
Achieve a surface profile of 3.0-4.5 mils.
Concrete Remove all surface contaminants such as oil, grease, and embedded chemicals.
Light abrasive blast per ASTM D 4259 to remove all chalk and surface glaze or
laitance. Mechanical surface preparation should expose sub-surface voids and
provide a surface profile equivalent to 80 grit sandpaper or coarser. Ensure surface
is dry with a plastic sheet test in accordance with ASTM D4263. Slabs on grade
must have a maximum moisture transmission rate of 3 lbs/1,000 ft
2
/ 24 hours.
Please refer to information bulletin #1496ACUS for further information on moisture
measurements. Prime concrete with Amerlock Sealer or Amerlock 400.
Repair 1. Remove all rust, loose paint, grease, or other contaminants. Spot abrasive blast
damaged areas to remove old coatings and prepare the steel to an SSPC SP10
condition with a 2.0-5.0 mil anchor profile. Alternately power too clean to bare metal
as per SSPC SP-11 to obtain a uniform and dense, minimum 2.0 mil anchor profile.
2. Taper abrade in-tact and adhered coating surrounding the repair area terminating at
a feathered edge at the substrate.
3. Apply Amerthane 490 to the specified thickness as soon as possible after the sur-
face is prepared.

DRY/CURE TIMES
** Dry times are dependent on air and surface temperatures as well as film thickness, ventilation, and relative
humidity. Maximum recoating time is highly dependent upon actual surface temperatures not simply air tem-
peratures. Surface temperatures should be monitored, especially with sun-exposed or otherwise heated sur-
faces. Surface must be clean and dry. Any contamination must be identified and removed

Provides outstanding corrosion resistance
Early water resistance
Suitable for high speed welding
Provides protection for extended periods
COLOR* AND GLOSS Grey
Flat
BASIC DATA
Volume solids 62% 4% (based on applied film, including porosity)
VOC 0 lbs/gal (0 g/L)
Recommended
Dry film thickness (per coat) 0.5 0.7 mils (12.5 17.5 microns)
Higher film thickness is possible, however high speed welding performance is adversely
affected by higher film thicknesses.
Theoretical Spread Rate @ 0.7 mils 1,420 ft
2
/gal
Components 2 (liquid, zinc powder)
Shelf Life Liquid and powder 24 months from date of manufacture when stored indoors in the
original unopened container. Storage temperature should be 40-100F and in dry conditions.
SURFACE PREPARATION Coating performance is proportional to the degree of surface preparation.
Steel Round off all rough welds and sharp edges. Remove weld spatter. Abrasive blast
with an angular abrasive to SSPC SP-10 or higher with a 1.0-2.0 mil surface profile.
Higher surface profiles up to 3.5 mils are acceptable, but the product must be applied
in a thickness great enough to achieve a minimum of 0.7 mils dry film thickness.
Apply DSP 3 as soon as possible after blasting to avoid rusting or other contamination.
Do not wait more than 6 hours between blasting and coating. Maintain relative
humidity below 75% during blasting and prior to coating application. Do not leave
blasted steel uncoated overnight. Keep moisture, oil, grease, or other organic
matter off surface before coating. Take care not to touch blasted surfaces.
Secondary surface preparation prior to overcoating
Atmospheric service Power wash with clean water to remove zinc salts, and other surface contaminants.
Allow to dry thoroughly. Power tool clean weld areas to SSPC SP-11 standards.
Immersion service Power wash with clean water to remove alkaline salts formed during curing. Lightly
sweep blast the surface and spot blast weld and burn back areas to an SSPC SP-10
condition. Anti-corrosive system should have a minimum dry film thickness of 10 mils.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
Ambient temperatures* 50F to 100F (10C to 37C)
Surface temperature must be at least 5F above the dew point temperature.
Material temperatures 50F to 90F (10C to 32C)
Relative humidity 85% maximum (curing times can double from 70% to 85% relative humidity.
Low humidity conditions are favorable for water based inorganic zinc.)
Surface temperature 50F to 130F (10C to 54C) Surface temperature must be at least 5F above the dew
point temperature.
General air quality Area should be sheltered from airborne particulates and pollutants. Ensure good ventila-
tion during application and curing. Provide shelter to prevent wind from affecting spray
patterns. Curing in stagnant air conditions will lead to a smooth, glazed finish that will
require abrading prior to overcoating.
DSP 3
page 1/3
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Mixing Only mix full kits. Pre-mix base component with a pneumatic air mixing at moderate
speeds to homogenize the container. Add powder component slowly under agitation
until fully mixed. Strain the mixture from one container to another through a 30-60 mesh
filter/strainer to remove any undispersed lumps.
Pot life
* Maintain agitation throughout application to prevent settling of the zinc.
Airless spray Ensure equipment is completely clean and free of any solvent based thinners. Dedicated
airless equipment is highly recommended. WIWA Model # 34020 20:1 pump with
integral agitated feed tank. WIWA 500F spray gun. A 0.021 tip size is recommended.
Use a 1/4" fluid line with a maximum of 50 feet. Avoid delays in spraying and recirculate
or flush line as needed to prevent settling. Adjust pressure as needed. Flush thoroughly
with clean water immediately after use.
Air spray Ensure equipment is completely clean and free of any solvent based thinners. Industrial
equipment such as DeVilbiss MBC 510 with a 64 air cap. Use a heavy mastic spring
and leather packing to avoid sticking and packing of the fluid needle and tip. A pressure
pot with variable speed agitator, oil and water trap and separate air and fluid regulators
should be used. Instead of a pressure pot, a low pressure feed pump with recirculating
lines can be used. Limit fluid hose length to 50 feet. Promptly flush/clean with clean
water after use.
Automatic spray An Accuspray HVLPAutomatic spray head model #55ZZ or equivalent is recommended.
Brush & roll Use a high quality natural bristle. Brush application is only recommended for small
touch up and/or repair areas. Roller application is not recommended.
Repair Spot blast rusted areas in accordance with the surface preparation instructions before
touching up with DSP 3.
Thinner Not normally necessary. If necessary, thin with clean water at a maximum of 2 ounces
per gallon.
Cleaning solvent clean water
Primers Direct to metal
Topcoats Amercoat epoxies, Pittguard epoxies
A mist coat / full coat application technique is required when topcoating to prevent
application bubbling. Lightly rub dry spray from the surface prior to overcoating.
Product can be specified as a single coat system in certain applications.
Safety precautions For paint and recommended thinners see safety sheet 1430, 1431 and relevant material
safety data sheets
DRY/CURE TIMES DSP-3 @ 0.7 mils and maximum 70% relative humidity
* Surface must be clean and dry. Surface must be power washed as needed to remove all surface contaminants
including zinc salts and alkaline salts formed during the curing process. In all cases, it is necessary to rinse
the steel to remove alkaline salts prior to exterior storage. It is highly advisable to rinse the steel prior to top-
coating when steel will be subject to ponding water or condensation from high humidity conditions in service.
Rinsing should be done with clean water until the surface pH is 8 or lower as measured in several locations.
Water rinsing can take place after the cure to water insolubility time is reached.
If surface glaze develops during cure, it is necessary to abrade the surface prior to topcoating. All dry spray
must be removed from the surface by screening or light abrading.

Product can be applied without accelerator at surface and air temperatures down to 40F. Material temperature
must be maintained at 60 to 90F at the time of application for application below 50F. Due to the long curing time
at this temperatures when accelerator is not used, it is recommended that temperatures above 50F are expected
within 12 hours of application. Coated surfaces should be protected from moisture until dry through time is reached.
Surface temperature must be at least 5F above the dew point temperature.

previous coats must dry and free of contaminants.
Steel Abrasive blast to SSPC SP-6 or higher with a 1.0-3.0 mil surface profile. Higher
surface profiles up to 5 mils are acceptable, but the product must be applied in a
thickness great enough to achieve a minimum of 2.5 mils dry film thickness.
Apply Amercoat 68HSVOC as soon as possible to prevent the blasted surface from
rusting. Keep moisture, oil, grease, or other organic matter off surface before coating.
For touch up and repair, power tool cleaning in accordance with SSPC SP-11 is
acceptable.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

fluid line with a maximum of 50 feet. Avoid delays in spraying and recirculate or flush
line as needed to prevent settling. Adjust pressure as needed. Flush thoroughly with
clean water immediately after use.
Air spray Ensure equipment is completely clean and free of any solvent based thinners. Industrial
equipment such as DeVilbiss MBC 510 with a 64 air cap. Use a heavy mastic spring
and leather packing to avoid sticking and packing of the fluid needle and tip. A pressure
pot with variable speed agitator, oil and water trap and separate air and fluid regulators
should be used. Instead of a pressure pot, a low pressure feed pump with recirculating
lines can be used. Limit fluid hose length to 50 feet. Promptly flush/clean with clean
water after use.
Brush & roll Use a high quality natural bristle. Brush application is only recommended for small
touch up and/or repair areas. Roller application is not recommended.
Repair When dry though, measure the dry film thickness. If film thickness is lower than speci-
fied, apply additional material as soon as possible, but not to exceed 24 hours from the
previous application. Ensure any dry spray is removed.

* Surface must be clean and dry. Surface must be power washed as needed to remove all surface contaminants
including zinc salts and alkaline salts formed during the curing process. In all cases, it is necessary to rinse the
steel to remove alkaline salts prior to exterior storage. It is highly advisable to rinse the steel prior to topcoat-
ing when steel will be subject to ponding water or condensation from high humidity conditions in service.
should be done with clean water until the surface pH is 8 or lower as measured in several locations.
If surface glaze develops during cure, it is necessary to abrade the surface prior to topcoating. All dry spray
must be removed from the surface by screening or light abrading.
** Cure to non-immersion water contact indicates the degree of curing that allows for rinsing with water to re-
move alkaline salts. Steel should be allowed to dry thoroughly after rinsing.

SURFACE PREPARATION Coating performance is proportional to the degree of surface preparation. Refer to
the application instructions for specific primers and intermediate coats for application
and curing procedures. Ensure epoxies are free from amine blush prior to overcoating.
All previous coats must be dry and free of contaminants. Adhere to all minimum and
maximum topcoat times for specific primers and intermediate coats. Aged epoxy
coatings require abrading prior to applying Amercoat 220P. A test patch over
unknown coatings is recommended.
Steel Remove all rust, dirt, moisture, grease or other contaminants from the surface.
Power tool clean in accordance with SSPC SP-3 or hand tool clean to SSPC SP-2
requirements. Alternately, abrasive blast to SSPC SP-7 requirements. For optimum
performance, blast to SSPC SP-6 or higher. Note that a primer must be used on all
bare metal substrates when using colors made from Midtone, Deeptone, and Deep
Rustic bases.
Non-ferrous metals Remove oil or soap film with detergent or emulsion cleaner as per SSPC SP-1
and galvanizing requirements, then use a phosphatizing conversion coating. Alternately, power tool
clean to uniformly abrade the surface or lightly abrasive blast with a fine abrasive to
produce a uniformand dense anchor profile of 1-2 mils in accordance with SSPC SP-16.
Galvanizing that has had at least 12 months of exterior weathering may be coated
after power washing to remove all contaminants and white rust. Galvanized surfaces
that have been passivated with a chromate treatment must be abrasive blasted.
Coatings may not adhere to chromate sealed galvanizing if the chromates are not
completely removed.

SURFACE PREPARATION Coating performance is proportional to the degree of surface preparation. Refer to
the application instructions for specific primers and intermediate coats for application
and curing procedures. Ensure epoxies are free from amine blush prior to overcoating.
All previous coats must dry and free of contaminants. Adhere to all minimum and
maximum topcoat times for specific primers and intermediate coats. Aged epoxy
coatings require abrading prior to applying Pitt-Tech Plus. A test patch over
unknown coatings is recommended.
WARNING: Removal of old paint by sanding, scraping or other means may generate dust or fumes which
contain lead. EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST OR FUMES MAY CAUSE ADVERSE HEALTH EFFECTS,
ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN OR PREGNANT WOMEN. Controlling exposure to lead or other hazardous sub-
stances requires the use of proper protective equipment, such as a properly fitted and approved (e.g., NIOSH-
approved) respirator and proper containment and cleanup. For additional information, contact the
USEPA/Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or the regional Health Canada office.
Steel Remove all rust, dirt, moisture, grease or other contaminants from the surface.
Power tool clean in accordance with SSPC SP-3 or hand tool clean to SSPC SP-2
requirements. Alternately, abrasive blast to SSPC SP-7 requirements. For optimum
performance, blast to SSPC SP-6 or higher. Note that a primer and one or a minimum
of two coats must be used when on all bare metal substrates when using colors
made from Midtone, Deeptone, and Deep Rustic bases.
Non-ferrous metals Remove oil or soap film with detergent or emulsion cleaner as per SSPC SP-1
and galvanizing requirements, then use a phosphatizing conversion coating. Alternately, power tool
clean to uniformly abrade the surface or lightly abrasive blast with a fine abrasive to
produce a uniformand dense anchor profile of 1-2 mils in accordance with SSPC SP-16.
Galvanizing that has had at least 12 months of exterior weathering may be coated
after power washing to remove all contaminants and white rust. Galvanized surfaces
that have been passivated with a chromate treatment must be abrasive blasted.
Coatings may not adhere to chromate sealed galvanizing if the chromates are not
completely removed.

filler.
Wood Sand new bare wood to remove any surface contamination and surface cells.
Remove oil spots, sap or pitch by wiping with 97-727 thinner. Countersink all nails
and putty flush with the surface. Properly dispose of solvent rags to avoid sponta-
neous combustion hazard. A wood primer or a first coat of Pitt-Tech Plus may be
used to prime the surface. To recoat primed wood, remove all dirt, grease, or oil
with a cleaner. Rinse with clean water. Remove wax with a commercial de-waxer.
Sand loose paint to a tight, adherent surface.
Dry Wall Tape all joints, fill cracks and nail holes with patching, paste or spackle; sand smooth.

RECOMMENDED SUBSTRATE CONDITIONS AND TEMPERATURES
New or corroded surfaces
For corrosion-resistant service, use of an approved corrosion-resistant primer is necessary. The PPG HI-TEMP 1027 primer,
which can also be applied to hot surfaces, is recommended and should be applied in accordance with its Product Data
Sheet. If necessary, consult a PPG representative for alternative and approved primers. Allow appropriate dry time. Apply
one coat of PPG HI-TEMP 500 VHA topcoat at 50 to 63 m (2.0 to 2.5 mils) DFT.
For cosmetic service only, an approved corrosion- resistant primer is recommended but not necessary. Abrasive blast-clean
to SSPC-SP 6 Commercial Blast (ISO-Sa-2) condition with a prole of 25 to 38 m (1.0 to 1.5 mils) or pressure wash to
an equivalent of a SSPC-SP 6 Commercial Blast (ISO-Sa-2) condition. Surfaces to be coated must be dry and free of salts,
weld splatter, oil, dirt, grease and all other contaminants. Apply two coats of PPG HI-TEMP 500 VHA topcoat at 50 to 63 m
(2.0 to 2.5 mils) DFT per coat for a total of 100 to 125 m (4.0 to 5.0 mils) DFT.
Previously painted surfaces in good condition
If the old coating is intact and there is no evidence of cracking, fracturing, and/or delamination, pressure wash the surface
to remove all salts, oil, grease, and contaminants and apply one coat of PPG HI-TEMP 500 VHA topcoat at 50 to 63 m
(2.0 to 2.5 mils) DFT.
Previously painted surfaces in poor condition or with some localized corrosion
If the old coating shows evidence of cracking, fracturing, delamination, and/or corrosion, follow surface preparation guidelines
for new steel. If there is no evidence of cracking, fracturing, or delamination just small areas of corrosion (less than 10%
of the area to be coated) power wash the entire structure, removing all salts, oil, grease, and other contaminants. Once dry,
perform surface preparation and apply PPG HI-TEMP 1027 primer in accordance with the Product Data Sheet on all areas
where the existing paint has been removed. Once these areas are primed and dry, apply one coat of PPG HI-TEMP 500 VHA
topcoat at 50 to 63 m (2.0 to 2.5 mils) DFT over the entire surface.
Note: Prior to application of the PPG HI-TEMP 500 VHA topcoat over other coatings, prepare a small test patch area and test
for adhesion

INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICATION TO HOT STEEL
Do not apply at substrate temperatures below 66C (150F) or above 204C (400F).
Apply thin passes of PPG HI-TEMP 500 VHA topcoat during an application to hot steel. This helps the solvent to escape
the coating without leaving pinholes behind. This application is similar to mist coating.
Do not apply a heavy coat to a hot surface or blistering will occur. If this happens, immediately take a brush (use wood
handled brushes with China bristles only do not use a brush with synthetic bristles) and brush out the blister before it sets.
Application to hot surfaces can result in dry spray. To avoid dry spray, apply coatings without reaching.
Note: Do not thin with any other solvent other than those recommended below. A re hazard could occur if using a different
solvent. Dry spray and poor lm characteristics may also occur.

RECOMMENDED SUBSTRATE CONDITIONS AND TEMPERATURES
New or corroded surfaces
For corrosion-resistant service, use of an approved corrosion-resistant primer is necessary. Surfaces to be coated with the
PPG HI-TEMP 1027 primer, PPG HI-TEMP 222 G primer, or Inorganic Zinc (IOZ) must be prepared and primed in
accordance with the appropriate Product Data Sheet. Consult a PPG representative for alternative and approved primers,
and, if approved, prepare the surface and apply the primer in accordance with the Product Data Sheet for the approved
primer. Allow appropriate drying time. Apply one coat of PPG HI-TEMP 500 VS topcoat at 50 to 63 m (2.0 to 2.5 mils) DFT.
For cosmetic service only, an approved corrosion- resistant primer is recommended but not necessary. Abrasive blast-clean
to SSPC-SP 6 Commercial Blast (ISO-Sa2) with a prole of 25 to 38 m (1.0 to 1.5 mils), or pressure wash to an equivalent
of SSPC-SP 6 (ISO-Sa2) condition. Surfaces to be coated must be dry and free of salts, weld splatter, oil dirt, grease and all
other contaminants. Apply two coats of PPG HI-TEMP 500 VS topcoat at 50 to 63 m (2.0 to 2.5 mils)
DFT for a total of 100 to 125 m (4.0 to 5.0 mils) DFT.
Previously painted surfaces in good condition
If the old coating is intact and there is no evidence of cracking, fracturing, and/or delamination, pressure wash surface to remove
all salts, oil, grease, and contaminants and apply one coat of PPG HI-TEMP 500 VS at 50 to 63 m (2.0 to 2.5 mils) DFT.
Previously painted surfaces in poor condition or with some localized corrosion
If the old coating shows evidence of cracking, fracturing, delamination, and/or corrosion, follow surface preparation guidelines
for new steel. If there is no evidence of cracking, fracturing, or delamination just small areas of corrosion (less than 10%
of the area to be coated) power wash the entire structure, removing all salts, oil, grease, and other contaminants. Once dry,
perform surface preparation and apply PPG HI-TEMP 1027 primer in accordance with the Product Data Sheet on all areas
where the existing paint has been removed. Once these areas are primed and dry, apply one coat of PPG HI-TEMP 500 VS
topcoat at 50 to 63 m (2.0 to 2.5 mils) DFT over the entire surface.
Note: Prior to application of the PPG HI-TEMP 500 VS over other coatings, prepare a small test patch area and test for adhesion
Substrate temperature
Should be above 10C (50F) and below 149C (300F), and at least 3C (5F) above dew point during application and curing

RECOMMENDED SUBSTRATE CONDITIONS AND TEMPERATURES
New or corroded surfaces
For corrosion resistant service, use of an approved corrosion resistant primer is necessary. The PPG HI-TEMP 1027 primer,
which can also be applied to hot surfaces, is recommended and should be applied in accordance with its Product Data
Sheet. If necessary, consult a PPG representative for alternative and approved primers. Allow appropriate dry time. Apply
one coat of PPG HI-TEMP 1000 VHA topcoat at 50 to 63 m (2.0 to 2.5 mils) DFT.
For cosmetic service only, an approved corrosion resistant primer is recommended but not necessary. Abrasive blast clean
to SSPC-SP 6 Commercial Blast (ISO-Sa2) with a prole of 25 to 38 m (1.0 to 1.5 mils) or pressure wash to an equivalent
of an SSPC-SP 6 (ISO-Sa2) condition. Surfaces to be coated must be dry and free of salts, weld splatter, oil, dirt, grease,
and all other contaminants. Apply two coats of PPG HI-TEMP 1000 VHA at 50 to 63 m (2.0 to 2.5 mils) DFT per coat for a
total of 100 to 125 m (4.0 to 5.0 mils) DFT.
Previously painted surfaces in good condition
If the old coating is intact and there is no evidence of cracking, fracturing, and/or delamination, pressure wash surface to remove
all salts, oil, grease, and contaminants and apply one coat of PPG HI-TEMP 1000 VHA at 50 to 63 m (2.0 to 2.5 mils) DFT.
Previously painted surfaces in poor condition or with some localized corrosion
If old coating shows evidence of cracking, fracturing, delamination, and/or corrosion, follow surface preparation guidelines
for new steel. If there is no evidence of cracking, fracturing, or delamination - just small areas of corrosion (less than 10%
of the area to be coated), power wash the entire structure, removing all salts, oil, grease, and other contaminants. Once dry,
perform surface preparation and apply PPG HI-TEMP 1027 in accordance with the product data sheet on all areas where the
existing paint has been removed. Once these areas are primed and dry, apply one coat of PPG HI-TEMP 1000 VHA at 50 to
63 m (2.0 to 2.5 mils) DFT over the entire surface.
Note: Prior to application of the PPG HI-TEMP 1000 VHA topcoat over other coatings, prepare a small test patch area and test
for adhesion

INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICATION TO HOT STEEL
Do not apply at substrate temperatures below 149C (300F) or above 260C (500F).
Apply thin passes of PPG HI-TEMP 1000 VHA topcoat during application to hot steel. This helps the solvent to escape the
coating without leaving pinholes behind. This application is similar to mist coating.
Do not apply a heavy coat to a hot surface or blistering will occur. If this happens, immediately take a brush (use wood
handled brushes with China bristles only, do not brush with synthetic bristles), and brush out the blister before it sets.
Application to hot surfaces can result in dry spray. To avoid dry spray, apply coatings without reaching.
Note: Do not thin with any solvent than those recommended below. A re hazard could occur if using a different thinner.
Dry spray and poor lm characteristics may also occur.

RECOMMENDED SUBSTRATE CONDITIONS AND TEMPERATURES
Carbon steel
All surfaces to be coated with PPG HI-TEMP 1027 must be free of all weld splatter, oil, dirt, grease, and all other
contaminants, especially salts. Round off all rough welds and sharp edges.
In maintenance and repair situations, PPG HI-TEMP 1027 can be applied over a surface in which tightly adhering rust is still
present; remove all rust scale and loosely adhering rust until glints of bright metal are visible. The remaining rust must be
tightly adherent and not easily removed by lightly wiping with a cloth.
PPG HI-TEMP 1027 should only be used to overcoat inorganic zinc or itself. When overcoating aged inorganic zinc, prepare
a small test patch and check for adhesion. If previously applied coatings other than inorganic zinc or PPG HI-TEMP 1027 are
not fully removed by the method of surface preparation utilized, feather the edges of any remaining old coating, and use
PPG HI-TEMP 1027 to spot prime only the areas where the substrate is exposed.
Non-insulated surfaces
Recommended is dry abrasive blast cleaning to SSPC-SP 6, Commercial Blast (ISO-Sa 2) with a 25 to 50 m (1.0 to 2.0
mils) prole
When abrasive blast cleaning is not an option, the following methods are acceptable: (1) SSPC-SP 15 Commercial Grade
Power Tool Cleaning, with a minimum 25 m (1.0 mil) prole; (2) SSPC-SP 12, Surface Preparation by Water-jetting Prior
to Recoating to meet the visual denition of WJ-3, Thorough Cleaning. Use potable water; (3) SSPC-SP3, Power Tool
Cleaning (ISO-St 3) or SSPC-SP 2, Hand Tool Cleaning (ISO-St 2)
Insulated surfaces
Recommended is dry abrasive blast cleaning to SSPC-SP 6, Commercial Blast (ISO-Sa 2) with a 25 to 50 m (1.0 to 2.0
mils) prole
When abrasive blast cleaning is not an option, the following methods are acceptable: (1) SSPC-SP 15 Commercial Grade
Power Tool Cleaning, with a minimum 25 m (1.0 mil) prole; (2) SSPC-SP 12, Surface Preparation by Water-jetting Prior
to Recoating to meet the visual denition of WJ-3, Thorough Cleaning. Use potable water. All existing coating must be
removed except for aged inorganic zinc or existing PPG HI-TEMP 1027; (3) Power or hand tool cleaning to remove all existing
coating except for aged inorganic zinc or existing PPG HI-TEMP 1027
Stainless steel
All surfaces to be coated with PPG HI-TEMP 1027 shall be free of all weld splatter, oil, dirt, grease, and all other
contaminants, especially salts. Round off all rough welds and sharp edges.
Note: Do not use chlorinated solvents on stainless steel surfaces
Non-insulated and insulated surfaces
Small surfaces may be cleaned with a chlorinated-free solvent. Large surfaces may be cleaned utilizing a high- or
low-pressure wash or steam cleaning with an alkaline detergent, followed by a freshwater rinse. Water used should be potable
grade or better and should be checked to assure minimal salt content. Do not use any chemical additives in the rinse water.
An anchor prole is not mandatory for adhesion of PPG HI-TEMP 1027 on stainless steel surfaces. As an option, following
cleaning, a light abrasive sweep blast using an appropriate chloride-free abrasive may be performed. After completion
of this mechanical surface preparation, rinse the surface with potable grade water or better. Always allow rinsed surfaces
to dry before coating.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
PPG HI-TEMP 1027 is a heavy bodied material; use mechanical agitation for mixing immediately before application and as
needed during application. Be sure any settled solids are incorporated during mixing. If thinning is needed, thin only with PPG
thinners and in accordance with applicable regulations. Agitate as needed during application.
For ambient application, surface temperature should be a minimum of 3C (5F) above dew point. Do not apply to surface
temperatures below 10C (50F).
Do not exceed recommended maximum dry lm thicknesses for the appropriate service type and temperatures.
It is essential to apply multiple thin passes of PPG HI-TEMP 1027 during application to hot steel. This process, similar to mist
coating, prevents blistering and also allows solvent to escape without leaving pinholes.
When applying to hot steel, use of a solvent other than THINNER 21-25 or PPG HI-TEMP #5 could produce a re hazard, and
dry spray and poor lm characteristics may also result. If blisters are observed in PPG HI-TEMP 1027 applied to hot surfaces,
immediately brush out the blisters before they set, using a wood-handled China bristle brush.
For best results, do not apply PPG HI-TEMP 1027-00 black or PPG HI-TEMP 1027-90 gray over PPG HI-TEMP 1027-9003
light gray.

38 to 63 m (1.5 to 2.5 mils) prole. Wet abrasive blast or UHP wash with grit injection to achieve an equivalent of a SSPC
SP 6 (ISO-Sa 2).
Note: If abrasive blast preparation is not possible, use SSPC-SP 11, power tool cleaning to bare metal (ISO-St 3)
Stainless steel
All surfaces to be coated with PPG HI-TEMP 222 G shall be free of all weld splatter, oil, dirt, grease, and all other
contaminants, especially salts. Round off all rough welds and sharp edges.
Note: Do not use chlorinated solvents on stainless steel surfaces
Non-insulated and insulated surfaces
Small surfaces may be cleaned with a chlorinated-free solvent. Large surfaces may be cleaned utilizing a high- or
low-pressure wash or steam cleaning with an alkaline detergent, followed by a freshwater rinse. Water used should be potable
grade or better and should be checked to assure minimal salt content. Do not use any chemical additives in the rinse water.
An anchor prole is not mandatory for adhesion of PPG HI-TEMP 222 G on stainless steel surfaces. As an option, following
cleaning, a light abrasive sweep blast using an appropriate chloride-free abrasive may be performed. After completion
of this mechanical surface preparation, rinse the surface with potable grade water or better. Always allow rinsed surfaces
to dry before coating.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
PPG HI-TEMP 222 G is a heavy bodied material; use mechanical agitation for mixing immediately before application and as
needed during application. Be sure any settled solids are incorporated during mixing.
If a condition warrants thinning, only PPG thinners should be used and in accordance with applicable regulations
It is essential to apply multiple thin passes of PPG HI-TEMP 222 G during application to hot steel. This process, similar to
mist coating, prevents blistering and also allows solvent to escape without leaving pinholes. Use of a solvent other than
THINNER 21-25 or PPG HI-TEMP THINNER 5 could produce a re hazard, and dry spray and poor lm characteristics may
also result. If blisters are observed in PPG HI-TEMP 222 G applied to hot surfaces, immediately brush out the blisters before
they set, using a wood handled China bristle brush. Note that the higher the substrate temperature, the shorter the recoat time.

Anti-condensate: please contact technical support regarding the appropriate recommended thickness of PPG HI-TEMP 707
HB to help prevent or reduce condensation formation
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Store PPG HI-TEMP 707 HB in a dry place as close to room temperature as possible. Storage temperature should be
between 4C to 38C (40F to 100F). DO NOT ALLOW TO FREEZE
When a container is rst opened, PPG HI-TEMP 707 HB will normally have a dry, crumbly crust at the top of the container;
this crust may extend several centimeters (inches) down into the can. Beneath is a liquid layer
Use only a screw auger mixer (PPG HI-TEMP RMX1) at slow speed. Mix until fully homogenized, Counterclockwise rotation
of the auger may aid initial mixing
When properly mixed, the consistency of PPG HI-TEMP 707 HB should be heavy-bodied (high viscosity) but free owing,
and there should be few or no lumps
PPG HI-TEMP 707 HB should be fully mixed without thinning. Any decision to thin the material should be made only after

surface protection against spills, a suitable topcoat shall be used.
For unusually severe environments consult Albi Mfg. for recom-
mendations of appropriate topcoats.
INSTALLATION & FINISH
3.0 INSTALLATION
3.1 Albi Manufacturing recommends that installation be per-
formed with the use of a pneumatic pump designed for applica-
tion of heavy-duty, viscous materials and a heavy-duty, mastic
spray gun. Compressor shall provide at least 80 CFM (2.3
m3/min.) of air at 100 PSI (7 kg/cm2). Material hose must
be 3/4 (19.1 mm) I.D. Nylon or other corrosive resistant type
suitable for strong solvents. Gun shall have minimum 3/4 (19.1
mm) material inlet and 3/8 (9.5mm) air inlet ports.
3.2 Final wet flm thickness application must conform to man-
ufacturers listed design or to recommendations for specifed
rating. All surfaces shall be rolled prior to drying of surface flm
in order to remove unsightly drippings or surface irregularity.
3.3 Small patchwork or damaged areas may be hand-troweled or

measurements during application. Although test data measure-
ments are taken on dry flm thickness, supervision of application
must be undertaken while material is being installed, since fnal,
cured, dry flm thickness will refect shrinkage due to evaporation
of occluded solvents.
3.5 SAMPLE APPLICATION
Before proceeding with the work, the applicator shall apply a
section of approximately 100 sq. ft. (9.3 sq. meters) area. This
section shall be witnessed by architects or owners representative
and shall be subject to their approval to be used as guide for
texture and thickness of the fnished work.

DESCRIPTION Graffiti Cleaner
PRINCIPAL CHARACTERISTICS Graffiti removal compound
Easy to apply
No harsh solvent odor
Biodegradable
Surface treatment for aged coatings
COLOR AND GLOSS Clear amber
BASIC DATA
Components 1
VOC 8.1 lbs/gal (976 g/L)
Flash point 183F
Environmental Conditions Use at air and surface temperatures of 60-120F (16-49C)
(Ideal surface temperatures for graffiti removal are above 70F. Below 70F longer
contact time may be needed and below 60F, many graffiti materials may be difficult to
remove. Use Amerase treatment on Kynar 500

for topcoating with urethanes.)


Shelf Life 5 years from date of manufacture
* when stored in the original, unopened container
RECOMMENDED SYSTEMS
Graffiti Removal- Test have demonstrated that Amerase removes graffiti including spray paint, permanent
markers, inks, crayons, and lipstick. When properly used, Amerase will not damage
surfaces coated with Amerase or PSX 700, even after repeated cleaning. Simply apply
Amerase to the surface and wipe with a clean cloth. Some graffiti materials become
more difficult to remove when aged, and incomplete removal may result.
Surface Treatment Amerase is effective as a surface treatment to prepare aged coatings for topcoatign.
for Aged Coatings Use Amerase treatment with Amerlock 400, Amercoat 385, or Amershield for recoating
or topcoating with Amershield when aged beyond the maximum recoat time. Do not use
Amerase treatement on Amerlock 400 or Amercoat 385 with Amercoat 861 accelerator.
APPLICATION PROCEDURES
Graffiti Removal 1. Wear safety goggles and chemical resistant gloves. Avoid prolonged skin contact
with Amerase.
2. Note that Amerase may also damage some original coatings such as acrylics. Well
cured, catalyzed coatings are typically resistant to cleaning with Amerase, but
some level of down-glossing may occur. A test patch is recommended.
3. Apply Amerase directly to graffiti by low pressure spray or by using a saturated cloth.
4. Wait approximately 3 to 5 minutes, keeping the area moist with Amerase, then wipe
with clean rags. If more than two applications of Amerase are needed to remove
stubborn stains, rinse the area with clean water and wipe dry before each additional
application.
5. Masonry walls or aged graffiti may require scrubbing with a soft, natural bristle brush.
6. Avoid Amerase contact with rubber materials such as gaskets, etc. Swelling may
occur with prolonged contact
7. Rinse all Amerase cleaned surfaces with water.
8. Allow surfaces to dry.
9. Discard wiping rags in closed containers.
AMERASE

page 1/2
Surface Treatment 1. Apply Amerase to aged coating using a soft brush, clean rags, polyethylene hand-
pump spray bottle, or industrial spray equipment.
2. Allow Amerase to dwell on the surface before topcoating as follows:
3. Topcoat treated surface before Amerase is fully evaporated.
See maximum topcoating time.
4. If Amerase is fully evaporated, re-apply Amerase to the surface.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Mixing and application Mix with a pneumatic air mixing at moderate speeds to homogenize the container.
During hot, dry conditions, the concrete may be pre-moistened with water to assist in
application of Amercoat 965 directly to the concrete or masonry.
Prime surface with Amerlock Sealer or Amercoat 965 Liquid. Apply Amercoat 965 when
Amerlock Sealer is still wet or tacky. When using Amercoat 965 liquid to prime, apply
the 965 cement within the same day and after the liquid is dry to touch.
AMERCOAT

965
page 1/3
Amercoat 965 is packaged in 2 compenents which must be mixed together before use.
A kit consists of 8 lbs of liquid and 48 lbs of powder. Do not mix more material than can
be used within the working time of 30 minutes. If necessary, mix smaller quantities at
the ratio of 6 parts powder to 1 part liquid by weight. Material which has begun to set is
unsatisfactory and must be discarded.
Power mixing using a suitable 1/2 inch power drill and mixer is recommended. When
mixing more than a unit of material at a time, a 3-6 ft
3
revolving drum mixer or mortar
mixer is recommended. The material can also be mixed by hand using a mortar box or
wheel barrel using a mortar hoe.
Shake the 1 gallon polyethylene bottle of liquid to disperse any sediment. Pour the liquid
into the mixing vessel. Gradually add powder and mix until the cement is uniformly
blended to a workable consistency.
If the cement is to be applied in thickness greter than 1/4 inch, a stiffer consistency can
be achieved by adding additional powder. For application and thickness above 1 inch or
for filling deep pitted concrete sections, add gravel to the mix. Add 36 lbs of 1/4 3/4
inch clean gravel to each 56 lb unit of material. Immediately after mixing, the Amercoat
965 cement is ready to use.
Spread and trowel to the desired finish using typical concrete finishing tools.
Clean all equipment and tools immediately with water.

Pre-mix base component with a pneumatic air mixing at moderate speeds to homogenize
the container. Add hardener to base and agitate with a power mixer for 1-2 minutes until
completely dispersed. Slowly add powder under moderate agitation in a vortex.
Ensure powder component is fully incorporated with good off-bottom mixing. Do not
over-mix. Be prepared to apply the product due to a short pot life for this product. No
induction time is required.
Pot life
(minimize material temperatures for optimum pot life)
Application Instructions 1. Mix a unit of resin and cure for lubricating the material line (do not add powder).
2. Pump lubricant material through the pump and delivery hose, collecting the material
in a 5-gallon can. Continue pumping until all lubricant (resin and cure) is removed
from the material, follow lubricant material with a mixed unit of resin, cure, and
powder. Begin application of the 3-component material.
3. Spray in even, parallel passes. Overlap each pass 50% to avoid areas of low film
thickness. Cross spray at right angles to first pass until the specified thickness is
achieved.
4. Periodically check wet film thickness during application with a steel rule depth
gauge or other suitable wet film thickness gauge.
5. At surface temperatures of 80F or higher, two coats of Tideguard 171A may be
required to achieve a 3/16" film on vertical surfaces. Make the first application at 1/8".
Allow to cure overnight. Make a second application at 1/16" within 24 hours of the
initial application.
6. For low temperature applications, it will be necessary to add Amercoat 861
accelerator to a mixed kit of Tideguard 171A as follows:
7. When a pinhole-free coating is required, check continuity of dry, but uncured coating
with a nondestructive holiday detector such as a Tinker-Rasor Model AP at
approximately 15,000 volts. Select the proper voltage depending on the thickness
and condition of the surface as per NACE SP-0188.

8. Immediately after use, clean all application tools and spray equipment with
Amercoat 104 Cleaner followed by a clean water. Clean pump by pouring a unit of
Amercoat 104 Cleaner following 171A and run until 171A is removed from the
material line. Pour a second unit of Amercoat 104 Cleaner into the hopper and
continue circulating to remove any remaining 171A. Follow with a clean water rinse.
For thorough cleaning of the material line, disassemble and clean by attaching a
rag to a piece of wire and pulling the rag through the line several times to remove
any deposits from the side walls. Flush with water. A spare material line is
recommended so one line can be thoroughly cleaned while the other is in use. It
also allows for close inspection of the lines for wear.
9. Tideguard may receive water contact immediately after application; however, the
wet coating should be protected from splashing action which could remove the film
while it is still wet.
DRY/CURE TIMES
With Amercoat 861 Accelerator
* Dry times are dependent on air and surface temperatures as well as film thickness, ventilation, and relative
humidity. Maximum recoating time is highly dependent upon actual surface temperatures not simply air
temperatures. Surface temperatures should be monitored, especially with sun-exposed or otherwise heated
surfaces. Higher surface temperatures shorten the maximum recoat window.
Surface must be clean and dry. Any contamination must be identified and removed. Particular attention must be
paid to surfaces exposed to sunlight where chalking may be present. In those situations, a further degree of
cleaning may be required. PPG Technical Service can advise on suitable cleaning methods. If maximum re-
coat/topcoat time is exceeded, then roughen surface.

This is a solvent borne paint and care should be taken to avoid inhalation of spray mist
or vapor as well as contact between the wet paint and exposed skin or eyes.
