Generic Type Modified epoxy-polyamide

Very tough, hard coating developed for glass-reinforced application up to 1/8” (0.32 cm) by two
component airless spray, roller or squeegee. Excellent wetting properties minimize air entrapment
frequently encountered during filled application with glass-reinforced materials. Carboguard 151-2
Description
has sufficient flexibility to withstand the expansion and contraction effects encountered in large
storage tanks. Component A is pigmented blue and Component B is pigmented yellow. When
Carboguard 151-2 is properly mixed and applied, a uniform green color is obtained.

Surface must be clean and dry. Employ adequate methods to remove all dirt, dust, oil and all other
General
contaminants. Apply over properly prepared concrete, steel or other surfaces as recommended.

Steel SSPC SP5 / NACE #1 with a 3.0-4.0 mils (75-100 microns) surface profile for maximum protection.

Remove all oil, grease, dirt or contaminates from the surface to be coated by steam detergent
Concrete cleaning. All contaminated or damaged concrete must be removed down to a clean, structurally
sound concrete substrate.

MIXING & THINNING

Power mix separately, then combine and mix in below proportion:
Mixing
2:1 by volume

Thinning Not recommended

80-90 minutes at 75°F (24°C) and less at higher temperatures.

Pot Life
Pot life ends when coating gels.

Do not apply when the surface temperature is less than 5°F (2°C) above the dew point.
Special thinning and application techniques may be required above or below normal conditions.

CURING SCHEDULE
Surface Temp. Dry to Handle Final Cure
4°C (40°F) 96 Hours -

24°C (75°F) 24 Hours 6 Days
32°C (90°F) 12 Hours 3 Days

*Longer cure times are generally needed for more aggressive service.
Insufficient ventilation or cooler temperatures will require longer cure times. Excessive humidity or condensation on the surface
during curing can interfere with the cure, can cause discoloration and may result in a surface haze. Any haze or blush must be
removed by water washing if re-coating.

CLEANUP & SAFETY

Cleanup Use Thinner #2 or Toluol
