6012-2F Industrial Epoxy Line

Product Description

Penatron 6012-2F is an advanced curing agent system that is 100% solids, advanced technology of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A resin reacted with a modified multiple ring cycloaliphatic amine adduct activator.  The resulting polymer structure is high strength, very adhesive, fast set, moisture tolerant, and extremely tough with superior chemical resistance to corrosive waters and acids.  This is a versatile, multi-use product.  6012-2F is a very quick setting, rapid reacting polymer system designed for cool condition applications on airfield, slab-on-grade floors, secondary containment prime coats, etc.

Airfield Grout:  As a grout the 6012-2F meets the FAA-P606 requirements for bonding in-pavement, airfield light fixture bases into concrete pavement, kerfs, docking systems for taxi ways, and landing zones.  The product is also used for rapid repair in damp conditions on exterior concrete slabs, airfields, etc. or on interior floor applications where the concrete surfaces have been damaged and aggregate is exposed.

Primer:  6012-2F is used on cleaned surfaces for bridge joint applications prior to the application of ASTC polyurea joint products.  6012-2F is part of the product system for fast set, spray polyurea materials where substrate conditions require a low viscosity penetrating 100% solids moisture tolerant primer that is fast set.  The 6012-2F is an excellent primer for the ASTC Nova Bar barrier protective coating systems.

This product coating is designed to provide penetration, wetting and sealing of substrates and surfaces as a fast set, high quality primer and cross link to various polyurea and urethane top coats when properly and timely applied. Cured film conforms to USDA requirements for coatings in incidental contact with food.

General Physical Characteristics

Preparation: Concrete must have a minimum 28-day cure prior to application.  Remove any curing agent, form release materials, oils, wax, moisture or any material that may affect bonding.  *Perform a Moisture Vapor Test before making the coating application on concrete.  Clean by abrasive "brush-off” blast.  Provide rough profile minimum 2 mils.  Review ASTM D4259 Abrading Concrete and ASTM F1869 Measuring Moisture Vapor Emission.  Seal/repair all bug-holes, cracks and spalls; see ASTC data sheets on 830, 4034 and 3004 (joints). Large expansion joint wall surfaces – brush-off blasting for 2-3 mil profile.

Moisture Vapor Reduction:  6012-2F (as a coating) should be applied to concrete surfaces as part of a "systems approach" when used as a primer for various epoxy or polyurea floor coatings.  Use 6012-2F with CMW moisture vapor reduction product 24 to 48 hours before the 6012-2F primer application.  Consideration should be given to the rise and fall of temperatures during applications, i.e., some applications produce better results when the product is applied after peak temperatures and the temperature is falling.

Priming:  6012-2F is applied several hours before a top coat application.  It is best to apply a suitable top coat as soon as the 6012-2F has set and will allow access for additional coating applications. Top coat application window is 1 to 4 hours.  Avoid heavy mil thickness of primer, and maintain mil profile with primer.  Concrete:  Primer for concrete and masonry must penetrate and wet the surface thoroughly.  Priming concrete may require 3 to 5 mils, depending on the porosity of the concrete.

Mixing:  Jiffy mixer - 650 rpm drill motor to mix product.  Mix until a uniform blend of the two part is evident after adding part B into part A.  Do not change the proportions. Mix completely for approximately one to two minutes.   Power stir – continue agitation during the applications.  Avoid mixing air into the blend.  Mix part B before use to assure pigment is in suspension.  Mix at 2:1 ratio.  6012-2F is fast set and must not be left in the mixing bucket or it will set very fast.  After the product is mixed, pour out and squeegee quickly, then back roll to desired primer thickness.

Joint Application Primer: Small amounts of product are mixed; mix only what can be used in a short time.  Work into the surface to be primed.  Polyurea joint product can be applied right after priming.

Grout: Pre-measure aggregates for grout mixes.  Grout blends: 1 part mixed product to 2-2.5 parts selected aggregate for pour-ability.  Pressure pad grouts use high aggregate content, ratio is dependent on the aggregate use.  Observe product and aggregate temperature and environmental temperature.  Hot or warm conditions  6012-2F will set very quickly in volume – several minutes. Mix and pour immediately in warm conditions.

Temperature Range: 40°F to 90°F (air and surface) and 5°F above dew point.  For warmer application temperatures use 6012-2S medium set, slower version for warmer conditions.

Brush/Roller:  Use short hair natural bristle. Roller 3/8 inch nap synthetic.

Airless:  Graco or equal.  Pump ration 30:1 or higher, 206-718 gun with fluid tip of .021 or larger orifice size with a Reverse-A-Clean tip, 3/8 I.D. or larger high pressure solvent resistant fluid line, ½ inch I.D. or larger air supply line.  Continuous air source capable of 80 to 100 psi inbound pressure at pump.

Conventional spray:  Binks or equal.  Pressure material pot with mechanical agitator, dual regulators, air gauges, oil and moisture separators.  No. 18 gun (external mix), 67 fluid nozzle, 65 fluid needle, 67 PB air cap, heavy duty fluid spring, Teflon fluid packing, ½ inch I.D. or larger high solvent resistant fluid line and 3/8 inch I.D. or larger air supply line.  Continuous air source capable of 20 cfm or more at 80 psi per nozzle and 60 psi to the pot.

Thinning:  Not required.

Application:  Apply mixed product in even coat and ensure uniform mil thickness.  Apply second coat in opposite direction to assure coverage of pin holes.

Mil Thickness:  Primer application mil thickness is predicated on the substrate surface porosity and profile.  Over shot blasted slab surface a 2 mil profile; see preparation statement this data sheet.

Reapply:  Topcoat 1 to 4 hours or as soon as the product has set and is becoming tack free.  Full cure 24 to 48 hours @ 70ºF.  Accelerate cure by using heaters or increase environmental temperature for faster cure.   Recoating/repair:  if the primer has reached complete cure and hardness, or if subjected to extended exposure to sunlight, uniformly abrade the surface and feather the edges.  The surface must be roughened sufficiently to provide a profile adequate to ensure a mechanical bond.

Curing times:  Heat curing may be used to increase drying speed and resistant properties.  Curing times are significantly shorter for higher temperatures or lower thickness and longer for lower temperatures or higher thickness.  Times are affected by method of application, the quantity of thinner used, the amount of ventilation, air circulation and relative humidity, etc.

Inspection:  Check for desired dry film thickness and for pinholes, holidays, bare areas, etc. before placing additional coats or top coats over primer.

Packaging:  Three gallon and fifteen gallon kits and drum kits
