PCS-800
HIGH BUILD EPOXY PRIMER
DESCRIPTION: PCS-800 primer is a VOC compliant, two component, cross-linked epoxy composition, designed to be used as a primer on steel, concrete and masonry surfaces in conjunction with various Permite finish coats. PCS-800 may be applied by brush, roller, or spray over hand or power tool cleaned surfaces and is compatible with most existing coatings and tightly adherent rust. Pressure washing may also provide suitable surface preparation depending upon job conditions. PCS-800 cures to a hard, tough, abrasion-resistant film.
USES: Especially suited as a general maintenance primer for pulp and paper mills, chemical plants, power plants, tank farms, water and sewage treatment facilities, mining operations, and marine applications. Not recommended for immersion service or splash and spillage of very strong solvents or concentrated acids and alkalis.
SURFACE PREPARATION: STEEL: Remove oil and/or grease by SSPC-SP1 solvent cleaning. Round all sharp edges, welds, etc. to a minimum of 1/8" radius and remove weld spatter. Abrasive blast clean per SSPC-SP6 Commercial Blast for maximum performance. Hand and power tool cleaning per SSPC-SP2 and SP3 is acceptable for certain applications.
MIXING: Mix equal volumes of PCS-800 base and PCS-800 hardener. It is not necessary to mix the entire kit at one time; however, if less than a full kit is to be mixed, each component must be thoroughly mixed prior to use. Partially filled containers should be closed tightly.
APPLICATION: Flush all equipment thoroughly with Reducer #76 before use. AIRLESS: Minimum of 30:1 Pump ratio, .019 tip with 3/8" I.D. fluid line. Adjust fluid pressure for proper atomization. Higher ratio pump and/or larger diameter lines may be required when more than 50 ft. of material line is required. Shield long lines form direct sunlight in hot weather. CONVENTIONAL SPRAY: DeVilbiss MBC or JGA gun with 78 to 765 air cap, E fluid tip and needle. Use a pressure pot with separate atomizing air and fluid pressure regulators; 50-70 PSI atomizing air and 10-15 PSI pot pressure. For most applications, one coat at 5 mils dry film thickness is sufficient. When used as a primer on masonry surfaces, up to 25% Reducer #76 may be added.
CAUTIONS: Flammable mixture. Contains solvents. Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Use only with adequate ventilation. AVOID PROLONGED BREATHING OF VAPORS. AVOID PROLONGED OR REPEATED CONTACT WITH SKIN. Keep containers closed when not in use. If used in confined areas, observe the following precautions to prevent hazards of fire or explosions or damage to health: (1) circulate adequate fresh air continuously during application and drying; (2) use fresh air masks and explosion-proof equipment; (3) prohibit all flames, sparks, welding, and smoking near area.
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Call a physician immediately. For eye contact, flush with lots of water. In case of skin contact, wash thoroughly with soap and water.
