Urochem 303
HIGH SOLIDS EPOXY COATING
DESCRIPTION
Urochem 303 is a twin pack, solvent based, high solids epoxy coating cured with a cycloaliphatic cross-linking agent. Although of low viscosity and easy to apply it rapidly cures to form an exceptionally tough flexible film with very good abrasion and chemical resistance. Its low solvent content ensures that maximum build is achieved with each coat. Urochem 303 is available in a range of colours and provides a coating which is both protective and decorative.
SURFACE PREPARATION
- As with all epoxy systems, surface preparation is of prime importance. Ensure the substrate is clean, sound, and dry, remove all grease, oil, dust, laitance, etc. Cut back to a sound substrate before undertaking any remedial repairs with Urochem 305 Epoxy Patching Compound.
- Wire brushing, acid etching, sand or high-pressure water blasting may be required to remove any laitance and/or curing compounds. Attention to blowholes and omegas is essential for the satisfactory performance of the coating.
- Steel surfaces should be clean, sound, and dry, and free of grease,any oils, and mill-scale.
PRIMING
Prime steel with Urochem 617 Zinc Rich Primer. Concrete may be primed with Urochem 307 clear, or if sound, dense and well cured Urochem 303 may be applied directly.
PRODUCT APPLICATION
As an impervious, resilient, and chemically resistant floor or wall coating in manufacturing plants, garages, factories, food processing plants, laboratories, and workshops.
MIXING
- Urochem 303 is supplied in a two-part kit, base, and activator in separate tins.
- Transfer the total quantity of activator into the base component and mix thoroughly using a slow speed electric drill fitted with a flat blade stirrer.
- Scrape down the sides of the can and the base and remix until the colour is uniform and free from streaks.
- Thorough mixing is essential and should take 5 to 10 minutes.
APPLICATION
Urochem 303 may be applied by brush, roller, or airless spray. After application of the first coat ensure there are no pin holes or missed areas. Allow a minimum of 6 hours and a maximum of 24 hours between coats. For best protection and finish, a two-coat application is recommended.
CLEANING
Clean all tools and equipment immediately after use with Urochem 901 as the cured material is very difficult to remove.
SAFETY
- Contains organic solvents which are flammable. Do not use in confined spaces. Ensure adequate ventilation and the absence of any ignition source. Wear protective clothing. In case of eye contact wash well with water and obtain medical advice.
- Please refer to product MSDS for further information.
