TECHNICAL DATA SHEET

Castlecoat WB Epoxy Coating

DESCRIPTION AND USES

Castlecoat WB is a water dispersible, epoxy coating that can be applied to most common construction substrates. It has excellent resistance to weathering and chemical attack, making it suitable for wall and roof slab coating and tank lining where a user and environmentally friendly product is required. Castlecoat WB can be applied by brush, roller or spray directly onto most clean, dry, non-porous substrates. Porous surfaces should be primed with Castleseal-2 before application of Castlecoat WB.

USES INCLUDE:

  • CONCRETE FLOORS
  • FOOD FACTORIES
  • ABBATTOIRS
    • DAIRIES
    • LABORATORIES
    • ANTI-GRAFFITI AREAS

    INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

    All surfaces to which Castlecoat WB is to be applied should ideally be clean, dry and free from dust and loose particles. Priming porous surfaces with one coat of Castleseal Porous Surface Sealer will remove any surface moisture and enhance adhesion of Castlecoat. Do not apply to wet or uncured concrete. Hard, shiny surfaces such as vitreous enamel should be abraded. Mix Castlecoat WB by adding all of the hardener to the Base and stir with a paddle mixer fitted to a slow speed drill until homogenous and free from streaks, (packs are pre-measured). Do not mix more than can be used in 60 minutes. Apply immediately by roller, brush or airless spray. Allow to cure for 24 hours before walking over.

    Typical coating thicknesses of 200-250 microns are normally achieved with any of the above methods at 10 to 30°C (2 coats). At lower or higher temperatures, greater or lesser film builds may result. Do not apply below 3°C.

    A minimum of two coats is required to give a continuous, pinhole-free surface. Multiple coats should be applied after 18 hours of each other.

    Castlecoat WB is suitable for trafficked surfaces after 48 hrs.

    Unlike conventional paints, Castlecoat WB is water-dispersible and may therefore be used safely in confined spaces without fire risk or undue operator hazard.
