25-SERIES

WATER BASED ACRYLIC PAINTS

  GENERAL DESCRIPTION

 Pruett-Schaffer’s 25-Series coatings are single component, water based acrylic emulsion polymers. They are designed to be used as spray, brush or roller applied, medium to high gloss topcoats over metal substrates or 20-Series primers . They exhibit very good flexibility and good adhesion to a variety of substrates, including existing coatings, masonry, galvanized steel, and even untreated aluminum. Although not recommended for solvent resistance, they are chemical and water-resistant. In addition, they are tolerant of less than perfect surface preparation, offering substantial savings in preparation costs.  25-Series coatings can be formulated with or without corrosion inhibitors for use in topcoat or direct-to-metal application. They are relatively high in solids, permitting a thicker dry film build over hard to protect sharp edges. Best of all, these products contain very low VOC, resulting in reduced toxic or flammable solvent vapors and hard to dispose of listed hazardous wastes in the workplace.

 For severe service, metal substrates should be blasted to SSPC-SP-6 commercial blast at a minimum, with a 0.5-1 mil profile. However, this coating is very tolerant of less than perfect surface preparation, and hand or power tool

 THINNING

 Under normal conditions no thinning is necessary. If desired, thin with water, do not use organic solvents. Add a little at a time with constant gentle agitation to a maximum of 5% by volume.

 They are normally applied by brush or roller. Use roller nap of ³/8 inch or less. They may also be sprayed with an airless or pressure pot spray systems. Use .015-.017 inch tip size. Typical recommended dry film build per coat is between 2 and 3 mils.

 DRYING TIMES & TEMPERATURES

 Dries to recoat in 1-1.5 hours at 77 ⁰F and 50% relative humidity. High humidity will prolong dry time more so than low temperatures. Good air movement over the work area or local exhaust is recommended. Heat lamps are not recommended; they may cause surface curing and trap solvent within the film, which causes water sensitivity problems.

 CLEANUP

 These products clean up easily with soap and water while wet, but are difficult to remove when dry.

 ENVIRONMENTAL

 These products meet current air pollution regulations regarding hydrocarbon and ozone reactive emissions. They are VOC compliant for architectural and maintenance use and industry, contain no chromate, and comply with current federal regulations regarding the use of lead in paint.
