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 isacceptable.
Concrete – See specific primer
Non-Ferrous Metals and – Abrasive blast in accordance with SSPC SP-16 guidelines to achieve a uniform andStainless 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 treatedwith a surface treatment compliant with Mil-DTL-5541 or equivalent (non-immersionapplications only).
Galvanized Steel – Remove oil or soap film with detergent or emulsion cleaner. Lightly abrasive blastwith a fine abrasive in accordance with SSPC SP-16 guidelines to achieve a profile of1.5-3.0 mils. When light abrasive blasting is not possible, galvanizing can be treatedwith a suitable zinc phosphate conversion coating. Galvanizing that has at least 12months of exterior weathering and has a rough surface with white rust present maybe over-coated after power washing and cleaning to remove white rust and othercontaminants. The surface must have a measurable profile.

Dry Temperature Resistance* Continuous — 200°F Intermittent — 350°F (<5% of the time, max 24 hours)* Color will drift at elevated temperatures.
Shelf Life 3 years from date of manufacture* when stored in original sealed containers in dry conditions between 40-100°F
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 isimpossible or impractical, Amerlock 2 can be applied over mechanically cleanedsurfaces. All surfaces must be clean, dry and free of all contaminants, including saltdeposits. Contact PPG for maximum allowable salt containment levels.
Mild Steel – Remove all loose rust, dirt, grease or other contaminants by one of the followingdepending on the degree of cleanliness required: SSPC-SP2, 3, 6, 7 or 10 (ISO8501-1 St-2, St-3, Sa 1, Sa 2.5). These minimum surface preparation standardsapply to steel that has been previously abrasive blasted. The choice of surfacepreparation 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 aKeane-Tator Surface profile Comparator or Testex Tape. Previously blasted steelmay 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 surfaceper ASTM D-4259 to remove all efflorescence and laitance, to expose sub-surfacevoids, and to provide a surface roughness equivalent of 60 grit sandpaper orcoarser. Test for moisture by conducting a plastic sheet test in accordance withASTM D4263. Fill voids as necessary with Amercoat 114A epoxy filler. For slabs ongrade, test for moisture in accordance with ASTM F1869 (calcium chloride test).The maximum allowable moisture transmission is 3 lbs / 1,000 ft2/24 hours. Refer toInformation Sheet 1496ACUS for further details regarding moisture measurements.

Galvanized Steel – Remove oil or soap film with detergent or emulsion cleaner. Lightly abrasive blastwith a fine abrasive in accordance with SSPC SP-16 guidelines to achieve a profile of1.5-3.0 mils. When light abrasive blasting is not possible, galvanizing can be treatedwith a suitable zinc phosphate conversion coating. Galvanizing that has at least 12months of exterior weathering and has a rough surface with white rust present maybe over-coated after power washing and cleaning to remove white rust and othercontaminants. The surface must have a measurable profile. A test patch is recom-mended to confirm adhesion. Not recommended over chromate sealed galvanizingwithout 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 andStainless 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 treatedwith a surface treatment compliant with Mil-DTL-5541 or equivalent (non-immersionapplications only).
Aged coatings – All surfaces must be clean, dry, tightly bonded and free of all loose paint, corrosionproducts or chalky residue. Abrade surface, or clean with Prep 88. Amerlock 2 iscompatible 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, featheringedges of intact coating. Thoroughly remove dust or abrasive residue before touch-up.

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 relativehumidity. Maximum recoating time is highly dependent upon actual surface temperatures – not simply airtemperatures. Surface temperatures should be monitored, especially with sun-exposed or otherwise heatedsurfaces. Higher surface temperatures shorten the maximum recoat window. An extended recoatable windowmay 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 withPrep 88 or equivalent is required prior to application of topcoats after 30 days of exposure. However, particularattention must be paid to surfaces exposed to sunlight where chalking may be present. In those situations, afurther 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.Abrasive blasting is usually the most effective and economical method. When this isimpossible or impractical, Amerlock 400 can be applied over mechanically cleanedsurfaces. All surfaces must be clean, dry and free of all contaminants, including saltdeposits. Contact PPG for maximum allowable salt containment levels.
Mild Steel – Remove all loose rust, dirt, grease or other contaminants by one of the followingdepending on the degree of cleanliness required: SSPC-SP2, 3, 6, 7 or 10 (ISO8501-1 St-2, St-3, Sa 1, Sa 2.5). These minimum surface preparation standardsapply to steel that has been previously abrasive blasted. The choice of surfacepreparation 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 aKeane-Tator Surface profile Comparator or Testex Tape. Previously blasted steelmay 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 surfaceper ASTM D-4259 to remove all efflorescence and laitance, to expose sub-surfacevoids, and to provide a surface roughness equivalent of 60 grit sandpaper orcoarser. Test for moisture by conducting a plastic sheet test in accordance withASTM D4263. Fill voids as necessary with Amercoat 114A epoxy filler. For slabs ongrade, test for moisture in accordance with ASTM F1869 (calcium chloride test).The maximum allowable moisture transmission is 3 lbs / 1,000 ft2/24 hours. Refer toInformation Sheet 1496ACUS for further details regarding moisture measurements.
AMERLOCK® 400
page 1/4
Galvanized Steel – Remove oil or soap film with detergent or emulsion cleaner. Lightly abrasive blastwith a fine abrasive in accordance with SSPC SP-16 guidelines to achieve a profileof 1.5-3.0 mils. When light abrasive blasting is not possible, galvanizing can betreated with a suitable zinc phosphate conversion coating. Galvanizing that has atleast 12 months of exterior weathering and has a rough surface with white rustpresent may be over-coated after power washing and cleaning to remove white rustand other contaminants. The surface must have a measurable profile. A test patchis recommended to confirm adhesion. Not recommended over chromate sealedgalvanizing without blasting to thoroughly remove chromates. Adhesion problemsmay occur.
Non-Ferrous Metals and – Abrasive blast in accordance with SSPC SP-16 guidelines to achieve a uniform andStainless 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 treatedwith a surface treatment compliant with Mil-DTL-5541 or equivalent (non-immersionapplications only).
Aged coatings – All surfaces must be clean, dry, tightly bonded and free of all loose paint, corrosionproducts or chalky residue. Abrade surface, or clean with Prep 88. Amerlock 400 iscompatible 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, featheringedges of intact coating. Thoroughly remove dust or abrasive residue before touch-up.

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 abrasiveblasting is not possible, but it is not a performance substitute for abrasive blasting inmany 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-2requirements. Alternately, abrasive blast to SSPC SP-7 requirements. Abrasiveblasting to SSPC SP-6 or better is also allowable. Amerlock Sealer may be appliedover 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 oversurface treatments such as MIL-C-5541. Alternately, lightly abrasive blast with fineabrasive 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 phosphatizingconversion coating. Alternately, power tool clean to uniformly abrade the surface orlightly abrasive blast with a fine abrasive to produce a uniform and dense anchorprofile of 1-3 mils.
Galvanizing that has had at least 12 months of exterior weathering may be coatedafter power washing to remove all contaminants and white rust. Galvanized surfacesthat have been passivated with a chromate treatment must be lightly abrasiveblasted. Coatings may not adhere to chromate sealed galvanizing if the chromatesare not completely removed.
Concrete – New Slabs – All surfaces to be coated must be strong and sound, contain noadditives or hardeners, and should not be treated with other sealers or conventionalcuring compounds containing waxes, silicones, or silicates. New slabs (horizontalsurfaces), should have a float or broom finish as described in ACI Specification301. Finishing shall be within Class A tolerance when using Amerlock Sealer as aconcrete curing compound and applying an epoxy surfacing.

page 1/3
When using Amerlock Sealer as a curing compound, product should be applied tothe concrete within 72 hours after placement of concrete and as soon as forms canbe removed. Please refer to System Guide #1441 for further information.
Existing Concrete – Water cured concrete or existing structures must be cured for aminimum 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 withmuriatic acid using equal parts of acid to water by volume. Surface should be freeof any oil, grease, embedded chemicals, laitance, water repellants, previoussealants, form release compounds, and effluoresence. The surface should bechecked for moisture transmission in accordance with ASTM F1869 (calciumchloride test) or by ASTM D4253 (plastic sheet test). The maximum recommendedmoisture transmission rate is 3 lbs / 1,000 ft2 / 24 hours.
A suitably finished surface must have a uniform surface texture exposing fineaggregate resembling coarse sandpaper. If required, repeat acid etching orabrasive blasting until the surface texture is uniform.
Concrete surfaces cured with conventional curing compounds or contaminated withform oils must be completely cleaned by ASTM D4259. Acid etching is notacceptable as it will not normally remove these compounds.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONSAmbient temperatures 40°F to 120°F (0°C to 49°C)
Surface temperature must be at least 5°F above the dew point temperature.
Material temperatures 40°F to 90°F (5°C to 32ºC)

DRY/CURE TIMES*
* Dry times are dependent on air and surface temperatures as well as film thickness, ventilation, and relativehumidity. Maximum recoating time is highly dependent upon actual surface temperatures – not simply airtemperatures. Surface temperatures should be monitored, especially with sun-exposed or otherwise heatedsurfaces. Higher surface temperatures shorten the maximum recoat window.Surface must be clean and dry. Any contamination must be identified and removed. A detergent wash withPrep 88 or equivalent is recommended 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 thosesituations, a further degree of cleaning may be required. PPG Technical Service can advise on suitablecleaning 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 above120°F .
2. Do not heat cure until after holiday detection has been accomplished (when specified).
3. Ramp heat at a rate of no greater than 2°F / minute to the target temperature.
4. Surface temperatures must be measured at various elevations from top to bottom andin each cardinal direction. The lowest surface temperature must meet the minimumtime/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 relativehumidity. Maximum recoating time is highly dependent upon actual surface temperatures – not simply airtemperatures. Surface temperatures should be monitored, especially with sun-exposed or otherwise heatedsurfaces. Higher surface temperatures shorten the maximum recoat window.Surface must be clean and dry. Any contamination must be identified and removed. Particular attention mustbe paid to surfaces exposed to sunlight where chalking may be present. In those situations, a further degree ofcleaning may be required. PPG Technical Service can advise on suitable cleaning methods. If maximumrecoat/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 isimpossible or impractical, Amercoat 240 can be applied over mechanically cleanedsurfaces. All surfaces must be clean, dry and free of all contaminants, including saltdeposits. Contact PPG for maximum allowable salt containment levels.
Mild Steel – Remove all loose rust, dirt, grease or other contaminants by one of the followingdepending on the degree of cleanliness required: SSPC SP-2, 3, 6, 7 or 10 (ISO8501-1 St-2, St-3, Sa 1, Sa 2.5). These minimum surface preparation standardsapply to steel that has been previously abrasive blasted. The choice of surfacepreparation 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 aKeane-Tator Surface profile Comparator or Testex Tape. Previously blasted steelmay 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 surfaceper ASTM D-4259 to remove all efflorescence and laitance, to expose sub-surfacevoids, and to provide a surface roughness equivalent of 60 grit sandpaper orcoarser. Test for moisture by conducting a plastic sheet test in accordance withASTM D4263. Fill voids as necessary with Amercoat 114A epoxy filler.

Galvanized Steel – Remove oil or soap film with detergent or emulsion cleaner. Lightly abrasive blastwith a fine abrasive in accordance with SSPC SP-16 guidelines to achieve a profileof 1.5-3.0 mils. When light abrasive blasting is not possible, galvanizing can betreated with a suitable zinc phosphate conversion coating. Galvanizing that has atleast 12 months of exterior weathering and has a rough surface with white rustpresent may be over-coated after power washing and cleaning to remove white rustand other contaminants. The surface must have a measurable profile. A test patchis recommended to confirm adhesion. Not recommended over chromate sealedgalvanizing without blasting to thoroughly remove chromates. Adhesion problemsmay occur.
Non-Ferrous Metals and – Abrasive blast in accordance with SSPC SP-16 guidelines to achieve a uniform andStainless 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 treatedwith a surface treatment compliant with Mil-DTL-5541 or equivalent (non-immersionapplications only).
Aged coatings – All surfaces must be clean, dry, tightly bonded and free of all loose paint, corrosionproducts or chalky residue. Abrade surface, or clean with Prep 88. Amercoat 240 iscompatible over most types of properly applied and tightly adhering coatings, however,a test patch is recommended to confirm compatibility.

DRY/CURE TIMES @ 6 mils dft
* Antifouling coatings should be applied when the previous coat of epoxy is tack free, but impressionable withmoderate finger tip pressure.Alkyd coatings and waterborne acrylic coatings should be applied after the film is dry through and no greaterthan three times the dry through time
** Dry times are dependent on air and surface temperatures as well as film thickness, ventilation, and relativehumidity. Maximum recoating time is highly dependent upon actual surface temperatures – not simply airtemperatures. Surface temperatures should be monitored, especially with sun-exposed or otherwise heatedsurfaces. Higher surface temperatures shorten the maximum recoat window.Surface must be clean and dry. Any contamination must be identified and removed. A detergent wash withPrep 88 or equivalent is required prior to application of topcoats after 30 days of exposure. However, particularattention must be paid to surfaces exposed to sunlight where chalking may be present. In those situations, afurther 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 heatingabove 120°F.
2. Do not heat cure until after holiday detection has been accomplished (when speci-fied).
3. Ramp heat at a rate of no greater than 2°F / minute to the target temperature
4. Surface temperatures must be measured at various elevations from top to bottomand in each cardinal direction. The lowest surface temperature must meet theminimum time/temperature requirements of the heat cure schedule. Record alltemperatures.
* Dry times are dependent on air and surface temperatures as well as film thickness, ventilation, and relativehumidity. Maximum recoating time is highly dependent upon actual surface temperatures – not simply airtemperatures. 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 mustbe paid to surfaces exposed to sunlight where chalking may be present. In those situations, a further degreeof cleaning may be required. PPG Technical Service can advise on suitable cleaning methods. If maximumrecoat/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 isimpossible or impractical, Amercoat 370 can be applied over mechanically cleanedsurfaces. All surfaces must be clean, dry and free of all contaminants, including saltdeposits. Contact PPG for maximum allowable salt containment levels.
Mild Steel – Remove all loose rust, dirt, grease or other contaminants by one of the followingdepending on the degree of cleanliness required: SSPC SP-2, 3, 6, 7 or 10 (ISO8501-1 St-2, St-3, Sa 1, Sa 2.5). These minimum surface preparation standardsapply to steel that has been previously abrasive blasted. The choice of surfacepreparation 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 aKeane-Tator Surface profile Comparator or Testex Tape. Previously blasted steelmay 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 specialattention to horizontal surfaces and recesses.
Concrete – Prepare / clean surface in accordance with SSPC SP-13 guidelines. Abrade surfaceper ASTM D-4259 to remove all efflorescence and laitance, to expose sub-surfacevoids, and to provide a surface roughness equivalent of 60 grit sandpaper orcoarser. Test for moisture by conducting a plastic sheet test in accordance withASTM D4263. Fill voids as necessary with Amercoat 114A epoxy filler.
Galvanized Steel – Remove oil or soap film with detergent or emulsion cleaner. Lightly abrasive blastwith a fine abrasive in accordance with SSPC SP-16 guidelines to achieve a profileof 1.5-3.0 mils. When light abrasive blasting is not possible, galvanizing can betreated with a suitable zinc phosphate conversion coating. Galvanizing that has atleast 12 months of exterior weathering and has a rough surface with white rustpresent may be over-coated after power washing and cleaning to remove white rustand other contaminants. The surface must have a measurable profile. A test patch isrecommended to confirm adhesion. Not recommended over chromate sealed galva-nizing without blasting to thoroughly remove chromates. Adhesion problems may occur.
AMERCOAT® 370
page 1/4
Non-Ferrous Metals and – Abrasive blast in accordance with SSPC SP-16 guidelines to achieve a uniform andStainless 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 treatedwith a surface treatment compliant with Mil-DTL-5541 or equivalent (non-immersionapplications only).
Aged coatings – All surfaces must be clean, dry, tightly bonded and free of all loose paint, corrosionproducts or chalky residue. Abrade surface, or clean with Prep 88. Amercoat 370 iscompatible over many types of properly applied and tightly adhering coatings, how-ever, a test patch is recommended to confirm compatibility.
Repair – Prepare damaged areas to original surface preparation specifications, featheringedges of intact coating. Thoroughly remove dust or abrasive residue before touch-up.

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 isimpossible or impractical, Amercoat 385 can be applied over mechanically cleanedsurfaces. All surfaces must be clean, dry and free of all contaminants, including saltdeposits. Contact PPG for maximum allowable salt containment levels.
Mild Steel – Remove all loose rust, dirt, grease or other contaminants by one of the followingdepending on the degree of cleanliness required: SSPC SP-2, 3, 6, 7 or 10 (ISO8501-1 St-2, St-3, Sa 1, Sa 2.5). These minimum surface preparation standardsapply to steel that has been previously abrasive blasted. The choice of surfacepreparation 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 1.0-5.0 mils (50-75microns) as indicted by aKeane-Tator Surface profile Comparator or Testex Tape. For immersion and severeduty applications, the recommended blast profile is 2.0-4.0 mils (50-100 microns).Previously blasted steel may be ultra-high pressure water jetted to SSPC -SPWJ-2(L) /NACE WJ-2(L). The wet surface can be dried by blowing with dry compressed airgiving special attention to horizontal surfaces and recesses.
Concrete – Prepare / clean surface in accordance with SSPC SP-13 guidelines. Abrade surfaceper ASTM D-4259 to remove all efflorescence and laitance, to expose sub-surfacevoids, 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 blastwith a fine abrasive in accordance with SSPC SP-16 guidelines to achieve a profile of1.5 - 3.0 mils. When light abrasive blasting is not possible, galvanizing can be treatedwith a suitable zinc phosphate conversion coating. Galvanizing that has at least 12months of exterior weathering and has a rough surface with white rust present maybe 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 galvanizingwithout 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 andStainless 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 treatedwith a surface treatment compliant with Mil-DTL-5541 or equivalent (non-immersionapplications only).
Aged coatings – All surfaces must be clean, dry, tightly bonded and free of all loose paint, corrosionproducts or chalky residue. Abrade surface, or clean with Prep 88. Amercoat 385 iscompatible 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, featheringedges of intact coating. Thoroughly remove dust or abrasive residue before touch-up.

** Dry times are dependent on air and surface temperatures as well as film thickness, ventilation, and relativehumidity. Maximum recoating time is highly dependent upon actual surface temperatures – not simply airtemperatures. Surface temperatures should be monitored, especially with sun-exposed or otherwise heatedsurfaces. Higher surface temperatures shorten the maximum recoat window.
Surface must be clean and dry. Any contamination must be identified and removed. A detergent wash withPrep 88 or equivalent is recommended 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 thosesituations, a further degree of cleaning may be required.

– 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 µm)
measuring dry film 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

– 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)
– when used as a primer under solvent free tank-linings the dft must be limited to a maximum of 4 mils (100 µm)

measuring wet fi lm thicknessa deviation is often obtained between the measured apparent wft and the –real applied wftthis is due to the thixotropy and the surface tension of the paint which –retards the release of air trapped in the paint fi lm for some timerecommendation is to apply a WFT which is equal to the specified dft plus–2.4 mils (60 µm)
measuring dry fi lm thicknessbecause 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

DESCRIPTION Water Based Inorganic Zinc Silicate Pre-Construction Primer
PRINCIPAL CHARACTERISTICS – Zero VOC formulation
– >65% zinc in dry film
– Provides outstanding corrosion resistance
– Early water resistance
– Suitable for high speed welding
– Provides protection for extended periods
COLOR* AND GLOSS Grey
Flat
BASIC DATAVolume solids 62% ± 4% (based on applied film, including porosity)
VOC 0 lbs/gal (0 g/L)
RecommendedDry 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 adverselyaffected by higher film thicknesses.
Theoretical Spread Rate @ 0.7 mils 1,420 ft2/gal
Components 2 (liquid, zinc powder)
Shelf Life Liquid and powder – 24 months from date of manufacture when stored indoors in theoriginal unopened container. Storage temperature should be 40-100°F 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 blastwith 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 appliedin 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 relativehumidity below 75% during blasting and prior to coating application. Do not leaveblasted steel uncoated overnight. Keep moisture, oil, grease, or other organicmatter off surface before coating. Take care not to touch blasted surfaces.
Secondary surface preparation prior to overcoatingAtmospheric 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. Lightlysweep blast the surface and spot blast weld and burn back areas to an SSPC SP-10condition. Anti-corrosive system should have a minimum dry film thickness of 10 mils.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONSAmbient temperatures* 50°F to 100°F (10°C to 37°C)
Surface temperature must be at least 5°F above the dew point temperature.
Material temperatures 50°F to 90°F (10°C to 32ºC)
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 50°F to 130°F (10°C to 54°C) Surface temperature must be at least 5°F above the dewpoint 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 spraypatterns. Curing in stagnant air conditions will lead to a smooth, glazed finish that willrequire abrading prior to overcoating.
DSP 3
page 1/3
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USEMixing 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 agitationuntil fully mixed. Strain the mixture from one container to another through a 30-60 meshfilter/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. WIWAModel # 34020 20:1 pump withintegral 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 recirculateor flush line as needed to prevent settling. Adjust pressure as needed. Flush thoroughlywith clean water immediately after use.
Air spray Ensure equipment is completely clean and free of any solvent based thinners. Industrialequipment such as DeVilbiss MBC 510 with a 64 air cap. Use a heavy mastic springand leather packing to avoid sticking and packing of the fluid needle and tip. A pressurepot with variable speed agitator, oil and water trap and separate air and fluid regulatorsshould be used. Instead of a pressure pot, a low pressure feed pump with recirculatinglines can be used. Limit fluid hose length to 50 feet. Promptly flush/clean with cleanwater 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 smalltouch up and/or repair areas. Roller application is not recommended.
Repair Spot blast rusted areas in accordance with the surface preparation instructions beforetouching up with DSP 3.
Thinner Not normally necessary. If necessary, thin with clean water at a maximum of 2 ouncesper gallon.
Cleaning solvent clean water
Primers Direct to metal
Topcoats Amercoat epoxies, Pittguard epoxiesA mist coat / full coat application technique is required when topcoating to preventapplication 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 materialsafety 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 contaminantsincluding zinc salts and alkaline salts formed during the curing process. In all cases, it is necessary to rinsethe 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 spraymust be removed from the surface by screening or light abrading.

Shelf Life Liquid and powder – 24 months from date of manufacture when stored indoors in theoriginal unopened container. Storage temperature should be 40-100°F and in dryconditions.
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 blastwith an angular abrasive to SSPC SP-10 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 appliedin a thickness great enough to achieve a minimum of 2.5 mils dry film thickness.
Apply Dimetcote 21-5 as soon as possible after blasting to avoid rusting or othercontamination. 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 otherorganic matter off surface before coating. Take care not to touch blasted surfaces.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USEMixing 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 agitationuntil fully mixed. Strain the mixture from one container to another through a 30 meshfilter/strainer to remove any undispersed lumps.
Pot life
* Maintain agitation throughout application to prevent settling of the zinc. Protect product from moisture contami-nation
Airless spray Ensure equipment is completely clean and free of any solvent based thinners. Dedicatedairless equipment is highly recommended. WIWAModel # 34020 20:1 pump with integralagitated 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 flushline as needed to prevent settling. Adjust pressure as needed. Flush thoroughly withclean water immediately after use.
Air spray Ensure equipment is completely clean and free of any solvent based thinners. Industrialequipment such as DeVilbiss MBC 510 with a 64 air cap. Use a heavy mastic springand leather packing to avoid sticking and packing of the fluid needle and tip. A pressurepot with variable speed agitator, oil and water trap and separate air and fluid regulatorsshould be used. Instead of a pressure pot, a low pressure feed pump with recirculatinglines can be used. Limit fluid hose length to 50 feet. Promptly flush/clean with cleanwater after use.
Brush & roll Use a high quality natural bristle. Brush application is only recommended for smalltouch 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 theprevious application. Ensure any dry spray is removed.
For aged inorganic zinc coatings, spot blast rusted areas in accordance with the surfacepreparation instructions before touching up with Dimetcote 21-5. When blasting is notpractical, Amercoat 68HS or Dimetcote 302H may be used for repair.
Thinner Not normally necessary. If necessary, thin with clean water at a maximum of 2 ouncesper gallon.

* Surface must be clean and dry. Surface must be power washed as needed to remove all surface contaminantsincluding zinc salts and alkaline salts formed during the curing process. In all cases, it is necessary to rinse thesteel 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 spraymust 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.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: For use as a hot surface application topcoat Hi-Temp 500VHA is a silicone acrylic system formulated with a highly engineered silicone resin, a
thermally stable acrylic resin and inorganic pigments. This combination allows the Hi-Temp 500VHA to have superior color stability to 500°F [260ºC] as compared to most generic silicone acrylic topcoats, which tend to discolor at elevated temperatures.
Hi-Temp 500VHA is available in both standard and custom colors. Hi-Temp 500VHA can be applied to hot substrates from 150°F to 400°F [66°C to 204°C]. Hi-Temp 500VHA does not require heat cure. Hi-Temp 500VHA has excellent spray application properties and is resistant to cobwebbing. Hi-Temp 500VHA is a user-friendly system, which can be brushed and rolled. Hi-Temp 500VHA has excellent weathering and corrosion resistance when applied over properly primed
surfaces. Hi-Temp 500VHA does not soften in thermal cyclic service. Color stability may be affected at the top end of the temperature range.

New or Corroded Surfaces:
For corrosion resistant service, use of an approved corrosion resistant primer is necessary. Surfaces to be coated must be primed with Hi-Temp 1027, which can also be applied to hot surfaces, in accordance with its product data sheet. Consult Hi-Temp for alternate and approved primers. Allow appropriate dry time. Apply one coat of Hi-Temp 500VHA at 2 to 2.5 mils [50 to 63 microns] DFT.
For cosmetic service only, an approved corrosion resistant primer is recommended but not necessary. Abrasive blast clean to SSPC-SP 6 “Commercial Blast” [Sa 2] with profile of 1 to 1.5 mils [25 to 38 microns] or pressure wash to an equivalent of SSPC-SP 6 [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 Hi-Temp 500VHA at 2 to 2.5 mils [50 to 63 microns] DFT per coat for a total of 4 to 5 mils [100 to 125 microns] DFT.
Previously Painted Surfaces in Good Condition:
If 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 Hi-Temp 500VHA at 2 to 2.5 mils [50 to 63 microns] 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 Hi-Temp 1027 in accordance with the data sheet on all areas where the existing paint has been removed. Once these areas are primed and dry, apply one coat of Hi-Temp 500VHA at 2 to 2.5 mils [50 to 63 microns] DFT over the entire surface.
Prior to application of 500VHA over other coatings, prepare a small test patch area and test for adhesion.
MIXING, THINNING, AND CLEANUP:
Use mechanical agitation for mixing. Mix materials until uniform in consistency. Thinning is not normally needed. If a condition warrants thinning, thin only with Hi-Temp Thinner #5. Thin only in accordance with applicable regulations.
Application to Elevated Temperature Substrate 150°F [66°C] to 400ºF [204ºC] Flush, Thin, and Clean up with: Hi-Temp Thinner #5
APPLICATION - INSTRUCTIONS TO HOT STEEL:
1. Do not apply at substrate temperatures below 150˚F [66˚C] or above 400°F [204°C]. 2. IMPORTANT! It is essential to apply thin passes of Hi-Temp 500VHA during an application to hot steel.
This aids in allowing the solvent to escape the coating without leaving pinholes behind. This application is similar to mist coating.
3. Flush equipment with Hi-Temp Thinner #5 before using. 4. Hi-Temp 500VHA is normally not thinned. If the situation warrants thinning, use only Hi-Temp Thinner
#5 as it is specifically formulated for Hi-Temp 500VHA. It is a slow evaporating solvent which allows for good film integrity as the coating is being applied to hot surfaces.
5. WARNING! Do not thin 500VHA with any other solvent. A fire hazard could occur if using a different solvent. Dry spray and poor film characteristics may also occur.
6. 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 brush with synthetic bristles), and brush out the blister before it sets.
7. Application to hot surfaces can result in dry spray. To avoid dry spray, apply coatings without reaching.

Surface Preparation Carbon SteelCoated surfaces must be dry and free of weld splatter, oil, dirt,grease and all other contaminates. Round off all rough weldsand sharp edges. Abrasive blast to a SSPC-SP6 “CommercialBlast”. Blast profile should be 1.5-2.5 mils. (38-63 microns).
If an abrasive blast is not possible, prepare the surface by anSSPC-SP3 “Power Tooling” method. If this method is notattainable, prepare the area by an SSPC-SP2 “Hand ToolCleaning”. *Performance of Hi-Temp 1027 PRIMER is rela-tive to the surface preparation accomplished.
Application Instructions*Surface temperature must be a minimum of 5°F (3°C),above the dew point. Do not apply to steel temperaturesbelow 50°F (10°C).
*Do not exceed maximum dry filmthickness recommendations.

Application Instructions to Hot Steel1. IMPORTANT! It is essential to apply thin coats of the
Hi-Temp 1027 during an application to hot steel. This aids in allowing the solvent to escape the coating with
out leaving pinholes behind. This application is sim-lar to mist coating.
2. Flush equipment with Hi-Temp #5 Thinnerbefore using equipment.
3. Hi-Temp 1027 is normally not thinned. If the sitution warrants thinning, use only Hi-Temp #5Thinner.
4. Hi-Temp #5 Thinner is specifically formulated for Hi-Temp 1027. It is a slow evaporating solventallowing for good film integrity as the coating isbeing applied to hot operating equipment.
5. WARNING! Do not thin Hi-Temp 1027 with anyother solvent. A fire hazard could occur if using a di-fferent solvent system. Dry spray and poor film char- acteristics may occur as well.
6. Do not apply a heavy coat to a hot surface orblistering will occur. If this happens, immediately take a brush, (use wood-handled brushes with China bris-tles only. Do not use brush with synthetic bristles), and
brush out the blister before it sets.7. Application to hot surfaces tends to promote dry spray.8. To avoid dry spray, apply coatings without reaching.
Pg. 2 of 3
EquipmentConventional or airless spray is recommended. For con-ventional spray use a DeVilbiss MBC-510, (or equal),gun with an “E” fluid tip and 704 air cap (or equal). Forairless spray use a Graco 205-591, 208-663, (or equal),gun with fluid tip of 163-610, 163-315 and a GracoBulldog Pump at 30:1.Adjust pressure as needed. Hold gun 10”-12” from thesurface at right angles. Lap each pass 50%. When brush-ing and rolling, use only quality brushes and rollers.
MixingUse mechanical agitation for mixing and during applica-tion. Mix materials until uniform in consistency.
ThinningThinning is not normally needed however if a conditionwarrants thinning, thin only with Hi-Temp #5 Thinner.Thin according to local air regulations.

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, butsome 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 removestubborn stains, rinse the area with clean water and wipe dry before each additionalapplication.
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 mayoccur with prolonged contact
7. Rinse all Amerase cleaned surfaces with water.8. Allow surfaces to dry.
9. Discard wiping rags in closed containers.

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.AVAILABILITYPackaging Available in quarts, gallons, and 5-gallon units

DRY/CURE TIMES* Amercoat 114A
** Dry times are dependent on air and surface temperatures as well as film thickness, ventilation, and relativehumidity. Maximum recoating time is highly dependent upon actual surface temperatures – not simply airtemperatures. Surface temperatures should be monitored, especially with sun-exposed or otherwise heatedsurfaces. Higher surface temperatures shorten the maximum recoat window.Surface must be clean and dry. Any contamination must be identified and removed. However, particularattention must be paid to surfaces exposed to sunlight where chalking may be present. In those situations, afurther 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.

Prime surface with Amerlock Sealer or Amercoat 965 Liquid. Apply Amercoat 965 whenAmerlock Sealer is still wet or tacky. When using Amercoat 965 liquid to prime, applythe 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 canbe used within the working time of 30 minutes. If necessary, mix smaller quantities atthe ratio of 6 parts powder to 1 part liquid by weight. Material which has begun to set isunsatisfactory and must be discarded.
Power mixing using a suitable 1/2 inch power drill and mixer is recommended. Whenmixing more than a unit of material at a time, a 3-6 ft3 revolving drum mixer or mortarmixer is recommended. The material can also be mixed by hand using a mortar box orwheel barrel using a mortar hoe.
Shake the 1 gallon polyethylene bottle of liquid to disperse any sediment. Pour the liquidinto the mixing vessel. Gradually add powder and mix until the cement is uniformlyblended to a workable consistency.
If the cement is to be applied in thickness greter than 1/4 inch, a stiffer consistency canbe achieved by adding additional powder. For application and thickness above 1 inch orfor filling deep pitted concrete sections, add gravel to the mix. Add 36 lbs of 1/4 – 3/4inch clean gravel to each 56 lb unit of material. Immediately after mixing, the Amercoat965 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.

8. Immediately after use, clean all application tools and spray equipment withAmercoat 104 Cleaner followed by a clean water. Clean pump by pouring a unit ofAmercoat 104 Cleaner following 171A and run until 171A is removed from thematerial line. Pour a second unit of Amercoat 104 Cleaner into the hopper andcontinue circulating to remove any remaining 171A. Follow with a clean water rinse.For thorough cleaning of the material line, disassemble and clean by attaching arag to a piece of wire and pulling the rag through the line several times to removeany deposits from the side walls. Flush with water. A spare material line isrecommended so one line can be thoroughly cleaned while the other is in use. Italso allows for close inspection of the lines for wear.
9. Tideguard may receive water contact immediately after application; however, thewet coating should be protected from splashing action which could remove the filmwhile 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 relativehumidity. Maximum recoating time is highly dependent upon actual surface temperatures – not simply airtemperatures. Surface temperatures should be monitored, especially with sun-exposed or otherwise heatedsurfaces. Higher surface temperatures shorten the maximum recoat window.Surface must be clean and dry. Any contamination must be identified and removed. Particular attention must bepaid to surfaces exposed to sunlight where chalking may be present. In those situations, a further degree ofcleaning may be required. PPG Technical Service can advise on suitable cleaning methods. If maximum re-coat/topcoat time is exceeded, then roughen surface.
