ASPHALTIC COATINGS

 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

 Pruett-Schaffer’s 50- and 55-Series coatings are single component, air-drying or baking, solvent based asphaltic compounds. Some formulas are oil-modified asphalt and others are asphaltic/gilsonite blends to provide a wide choice of protective waterproofing and heat resistant properties. They provide a cost effective alternative to toxic coal tar based compounds for protecting steel or concrete from normal environmental corrosion. These coatings are available in conventional and high solid formulations, in brush, roller and spray viscosities. Also available in a Mil-Spec TT-V-51f compliant formula.

 RECOMMENDATIONS

 Asphaltic coatings are recommended for use as corrosion preventative and waterproofing compounds over concrete and metal substrates both above and below grade. They resist humidity, water, weak acids, or alkalis. Some can resist temperatures of 375-500 ⁰F. All have good surface wetting properties for use when it is difficult to completely clean substrates prior to painting. These coatings are not recommended for exposure to hydrocarbon solvents, gasoline, oils, or fuels. They are normally not topcoated since bleed through can result.

 New metal substrates should be degreased, chemically cleaned, or sandblasted. Concrete should have all form release oils, curing membranes and dirt removed. May be used over existing coatings, if tightly adhering, if the surface is chalky or extremely dirty, power wash it first and allow to dry. Feather all rough edges.

 THINNING

 May be thinned with xylol, mineral spirits or aromatic naphtha, but these paints are shipped ready to use and normally need no thinning.

 Brush or roller application is the most common method used to coat in place objects and will result in the best performing protective coating, but air or airless spray equipment or even dipping tanks may be used in shop coating jobs. Recommended dry film build varies with the product, and may be from 2-16 depending upon the application.

 DRYING TIMES & TEMPERATURES

 Asphaltic coatings typically dry tack free dry in ¹/₂ to 3 hours at 70 ⁰F depending on the application thickness and product used. They may be recoated with themselves if needed to attain thicker films. See individual product data sheets for more information.

 Cleans up easily with xylol before the paint dries hard.

 Most products meets current air pollution regulations regarding hydrocarbon and ozone reactive emissions. They contain no zinc or chromate and comply with current federal regulations regarding the use of lead in paint.
