TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
Hexaflex LP Liquid Plastic Coatings
DESCRIPTION AND USES
Hexaflex Liquid Plastic Coatings are tough, flexible, liquid-applied polymer polymers that can be applied to most common construction substrates. Hexaflex Liquid Plastic Coatings have excellent resistance to weathering and chemical attack, making them suitable for roofing, floor and deck coating, water and chemical tank lining where a long-lasting, durable finish is required. There are two grades available: Hexaflex "LP250" for use in non-submerged environments & Hexaflex "LP300" for lining water, sewage and effluent tanks Hexaflex Liquid Plastic Coatings can be applied by hand with brushes, squeegees or by airless spray. Most substrates benefit by being primed with Hexaflex Primer No. 3 to or Castleseal-2 to provide a good key. Full cure is achieved in seven days. Hexaflex "LP300" Coating is approved for use with drinking water under the European Water Approvals Scheme .
USES INCLUDE:
• ROOFING & DECKING
• PEDESTRIAN AREAS & WALKWAYS
• FACTORY FLOORS
• SERVICE RESERVOIRS & WATER TOWERS
• SEWAGE AND SEWAGE SLUDGE TANKS
• WET ROOMS & UNDER-TILE WATERPROOFING
• CHEMICAL BUNDS
• FUEL AND OIL STORAGE TANKS
• WASTE & CHEMICAL CONTAINERS

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
All surfaces to which Hexaflex Liquid Plastic Coatings are to be applied should be clean, dry and free from dust and loose particles. Concrete surfaces should be wire brushed or grit-blasted. Steel and other metal surfaces should be abraded or shot-blasted. Steel surfaces that are subject to continuous immersion in aqueous solutions will benefit from a coat of anti-corrosive primer before being coated with Hexaflex Liquid Plastic Coatings. Fresh galvanising will require pre-treatment with mordant solution or phosphoric acid etch primer. Hard, shiny surfaces such as vitreous enamel should be abraded. Prime porous & non porous surfaces with one coat of Hexaflex Primer No. 3 or porous surfaces with Castleseal-2 and allow to become touch dry (45 min. to 1 hour). Apply LP250 direct from the container. For LP300, Mix 6 parts of Base with one part of Hardener (by weight) with a paddle mixer fitted to a slow speed drill until homogenous and free from streaks, (packs are pre-measured).
With LP300, do not mix more than can be used in 30 min. Small quantities can be mixed by hand with a spatula. Apply immediately by squeegee or brush. For airless spray application, thin the Base with Methyl ethyl ketone before mixing in the Hardener and spray immediately. With both grades, typical coating thicknesses of 300 to 500 microns are normally achieved with hand application and 250 - 300 microns by airless spraying at 10 to 30°C. The total recommended thickness for optimum performance is 1 to 1.2 mm however a minimum of two coats is required to give a continuous, pinhole-free surface. The maximum time window between multiple coats is 36 hours. Vessels, which may be attacked by the stored medium, e.g. concrete or steel tanks holding acids, may require extra coats to ensure continuity of the film. Metal vessels can be effectively checked for film continuity by spark testing. .
Clean equipment with acetone or M.E.K. before the material cures.
