Aquachem

AQUACHEM is a series of water miscible, 2-pack, epoxy coating systems. AQUACHEM systems contain no solvents and therefore the Health and Fire hazards are minimised. AQUACHEM is independently tested to BS 6920. It is therefore suitable for coating any containers holding potable water. Cured AQUACHEM is non toxic to aquatic life and is suitable for fish farming equipment and tanks.

Specific Uses:

• Surface membranes.
• Skid resistant surface for bridges and ramps.
• Decorative Floor Coating
• Hygienic coating for Food/Dairy/Factories/Warehouses and Workshop areas.

The mixed product should be applied by roller, or in the case of large surface areas by spray. The Primer coat may be over-coated when the initial milky appearance has cleared. In the case of tanking, second and third coats should be applied at 90º to previous coats.

Please note: The coating must be rolled/painted out evenly. Thick or heavy coats are not advisable. To obtain specific dry film thickness, multicoats are preferred.

In the case of AQUACHEM PRIMER/SEALER being used as a clear finishing coat it is essential that the coating is applied at no more than WFT: 75-100 microns, conducive with overall wetting of the surface.

The 2 mixed components of Aquachem must be used within the pot life of between 1 and 3 hours depending on temperature, volume of mixed material and humidity.

Coverage:

Coverage will depend upon the type and nature of the substrate. As a guide, 3-4m²/litre on concrete. 4-5m²/litre on steel. 4-5m²/litre on timber depending on porosity.

AQUACHEM should not be used at temperatures below +5°C. The    cure is considerably increased when RH is above 70%.

Cure Schedule:

Overcoating of the primer is between 1 and 5 hours after primer application. Any external work must be protected against rain for 12 - 15 hours dependent upon relative humidity and temperature: Trafficking of complete system is possible 24 - 72 hours after the final application.

Approval:

Cleaning of Tools:

Uncured AQUACHEM may readily be removed with warm water and soap. Mechanical methods are required to remove cured material.
