Linning Kote 6000 headder

LINING - KOTE ® is a two-part pigmented epoxy coating, which will produce a tough, yet flexible coating film. Designed to for use on the interior of tanks, this epoxy coating was built to resist the toughest acid, chemical or solvent environments. LINING - KOTE ® has outstanding adhesion and can withstand direct impact. It is resistant to water, humidity and high heat. LINING - KOTE ® is made with a high molecular weight base and cure for strength and durability.

GUIDELINES REGARDING pH SCALE
Use LINING - KOTE ® when facing pH values from 1-10.

SURFACE PREPARATION
Surface must be clean from oil, tar, rust, grease, salts, and films.
  1. Use general degreaser if needed.
  2. Clean surface using TSP (tri-sodium-phosphate) or a citrus cleaner to release dirt and degreaser residue.
  3. Pressure-wash if possible @ 3500 psi.
  4. Salt contamination on a surface can come as a result of salt water, fertilizers, and car exhaust. Use Chlor*Rid or equivalent to decontaminate surface if salts are present. Acceptable levels: Nitrates: 5-10 mcg/cm², Sulfates: 5-10 mcg/cm², Chlorides: 3-5 mcg/cm²
Surface must be completely dry before applying.
  1. LINING - KOTE ® must be applied during proper temperatures (below) and the prescribed overcoat window of the coating over which it will be applied.
  2. If applied over an existing coating having a glossed or shiny finish, it must be sanded and roughed to remove gloss before application, to improve the profile.
  3. Additional coats of LINING - KOTE ® can only be applied when the 1st coat becomes tacky to the touch and has little to no transfer of coating. After this stage, the surface must be lightly sanded to improve the profile.

MIXING
  1. Open pail, mix base with curing agent (2 parts base1 part curing agent) (ratio by volume, not by weight)
  2. Mix by hand for two minutes, or using drill and mixing blade for a minimum of 30 seconds with NO vortex.
Induction Period: 30 minutes at 70°F (21°C); No induction time is necessary over 90°F (32°C).
 POT LIFE:
1½ hours at 70°F (21°C) - 1 hour at 90°F (32°C)
APPLICATION
LINING - KOTE ® can be applied by brush, roller or spray; however, the preferred method is by air or airless sprayer.
  1. If application is by brush, use a soft bristle brush.
  2. If application is by roller, use a 1/2 inch nap roller.
  3. If application is by spray, use a standard airless sprayer(1½ gallons/minute at 3,300 psi or less) with a .017-.021 tip.

• NOTE: The number of applications and the thickness of each should be in accordance with the job specifications.

• NOTE: Temperatures must always be a minimum of 5 degrees above the dew point during application.


MINIMUM SPREAD RATES (mil thickness)
Porous Surfaces– Apply 2-3 applications of LINING - KOTE ® @ 200 sqft/gallon; (18 sqmtr/gallon); 8 mils wet, 4.64 mils dry (200 microns wet, 116 microns dry) each coat. This will leave a total thickness of 9.28 dry mils (2 coats) or 13.92 (3 coats).
Metal Surfaces– Apply RUSTGRIP ® as a primer and apply 2-3 applications of LINING - KOTE ® as directed above.

CURE TIME
Note: Surface and ambient temperatures will determine cure time. Introduction of heat over surface will enhance the cure time.

TEMPERATURE
  1. Apply between 40°F. and 120°F.
  2. Store between 40°F. and 120°F. according to hazmat standards indicated on MSDS

CLEAN-UP EQUIPMENT
  1. After completion, spray systems should be flushed and cleaned with MEK or other comparable solvents.
  2. After completion, brushes can be cleaned with MEK or comparable solvents, store and reused.

NOTE:
When used in exterior coating applications, LINING - KOTE ® product will chalk and lose gloss. This does not mean the coating is deteriorating, just that epoxy formulas are not UV-controlled.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
Applicator must, at all times during use, wear a Bureau of Mines approved, 2-stage ( charcoal and cot ton ) paint spray respirator, designed for removal of organic vapors, or a fresh air-supplied type of respirator. Protective clothing and protective eyewear goggles are recommended.

MSDS Quick-View:
Nonflammable liquid
Lead and chromate free

IMPORTANT:
Do not apply to chlorinated rubber. Even after sandblasting, the chlorination can attack the solvents and brittle the coating.

NOTE - 1 mil = 1 thousandths of an inch 1/1000"
SURFACE COVERAGE:
METAL, WOOD, CONCRETE, and POROUS SUBSTRATES:
Apply in 2 - 3 coats crosshatched with each coat applied at 267 sf per gallon or 6 mils WFT = 3.48 mils DFT ( A wet mil gauge is recommended )
Recommended film thickness : 12 - 18 mils WFT = 6.96 - 10.44 mils DFT TOTAL FINISHED THICKNESS
