DESCRIPTION

ICSC 195 is a high build, two part polyamide cure epoxy. It displays outsanding adhesion to concrete substrates and is the choice when harsh conditions are to be encountered. ICSC 195 Epoxy exhibits excellent durability against chemical fumes, solvent and alkaline solutions, severe weathering conditions, and salt water immersions. Because ICSC 195 is a catalyzed system and forms an incredibly tough film when cured, it offers outstanding resistance to abrasion.

TYPICAL USES

ICSC 195 Epoxy exhibits excellent chemical resistance as a plant, refinery, warehouse, and laboratory floor covering. Because the cured epoxy is relatively inflexible, polyamide epoxies should not be used in applications where the substrate is likely to be flexed.

SURFACE PREPARATION and APPLICATION

All enamels should be applied over a primer coat. This provides the enamel with a good substrate for adhesion and protects the enamel from corrosion from underneath. Proper recoat times should be observed per requirements for the type of primer used. Previously painted surfaces can be recoated (or touched up) provided the surface is clean and free of all oil residues, dirt, grease, and all loose paint has been removed. The 400 series enamels may be applied by brush, roller, or by conventional or airless sprayer. For optimum appearance, best results are usually obtained by spray application.

The epoxy should be applied in two coats with a wet film thickness of 6-8 mils per coat, allowing not more than 72 hours of time to elapse between coats. This will yield 3-4 mils of dry film thickness per coat. For more severe applications, it is recommended that the total dry film thickness should be increased to 12-16 mils (applied in 3-4 coats). For most average applications, a two coat system consisting of 8 mils of dry film should prove sufficient.

After thoroughly mixing the two components of the epoxy as per instructions, the mixture MUST be allowed to stand for 30 minutes before use. This incubation time permits the epoxy to properly begin its reaction before application. This sweat-in time must be observed for all polyamide epoxies.
