Gray Conduit Lining, Haps Free

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Pruett-Schaffer’s #28-65 Gray Conduit Lining is an air-drying, water reducible alkyd paint. It is designed as a spray applied, high-gloss, direct-to-metal finish coat for metal substrates. The cured film exhibits good flexibility and corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, and good surface slip for wire pulling. This product is essentially Haps free for Allegheny County reporting purposes.

RECOMMENDED USES

This product is recommended as an internal coating for conduit. It exhibits good application characteristics and adhesion to a wide variety of substrates including minimally prepared cold rolled steel, castings, forgings, aluminum, and existing coatings. Not recommended for immersion service or for areas subject to temperatures in excess of 300 0F for prolonged periods. The paint is not flammable and has very low toxicity.

SURFACE PREPARATION

Apply as a direct-to-metal coating. This coating is tolerant of less than perfect surface preparation , so chemical cleaning, water blasting, or even hand or power tool cleaning may be sufficient, depending on the level of service required. At a minimum for acceptable performance, all surfaces to be coated must be clean, dry and free of oil/grease, loose rust/paint, weld spatter, burning slag, dust, and chalk.

THINNING

Under normal conditions no thinning is necessary or desirable. Thin if necessary for proper spraying with an 80/20 mixture of water/butyl cellosolve (Pruett-Schaffer thinner #98-8937). Add thinner a little at a time with constant gentle agitation to a maximum of 5% by volume.

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT

This paint may be applied by air-assisted or airless spray. Apply 4 wet mils to achieve 1 mil dry film thickness. Because of the low viscosity of this product, some settling will occur. Mild mechanical agitation is highly recommended to keep the product uniformly mixed during application.

DRYING TIME

Dries tack free in 10-20 minutes at 77 0F and 50% Relative Humidity. Light handling may be possible in 45 minutes. High humidity will prolong dry time more so than low temperatures. To speed the dry time good air movement over the work and local exhaust is recommended. Heat lamps or forced warm air drying will reduce dry time in cold shops.

CLEANUP

Clean equipment with warm soap and water or water/butyl cellosolve (with some ammonia) mixtures before the coating dries Run ethyl alcohol through spray guns after cleaning to prevent corrosion of steel parts.

ENVIRONMENTAL

This product meets current air pollution regulations regarding hydrocarbon and ozone reactive emissions. It contains no lead, or chromate.
