Surface preparation
All grease, oil, grime and other contaminants must be removed from the surface using Termarust Formula 1X cleaner, commercial detergent or other suitable cleaning method (SSPC-SP1). Hand tool cleaning (SSPC-SP2), power tool cleaning (SSPC-SP3) or water jetting (SSPC-SP12-WJ4) is sufficient preparation to produce excellent results; SSPC-SP6 or SSPC-SP12-WJ3 (LorM) is recommended for optimum corrosion resistance or immersion service. The prepared surface must be analyzed for chloride content. Upper limit is per SSPC-SP12-SC2 (7mg/sq. meter). 

Application
The Termarust 2101 (RAVCS) Stainless Steel Primer/Topcoat Tower and Flexible Structure Coating should not be applied at temperatures below 2°C or 35.5°F with a steel temperature not less than 2°C or 35.5°F. There must be a 2°C or 5°F spread between temperature and dew point. To apply the coating the relative humidity should be no greater than 99% and the steel should be free of surface moisture.

Note: The Termarust 2101 (RAVCS) Stainless Steel Primer/Topcoat Tower and Flexible Structure Coating may be applied below freezing (-18°C or 0°F). This is not recommended unless steps are taken to control ice crystals on the steel surface before preparation. i.e. spot heating. Cold temperatures will slow the coating cure.

Shelf life
12 months minimum in original unopened container when stored in a protected area where the temperature is between 5°C and 30°C (41°F - 86°F).
Note: After 12 months verify the coating to see if a skin has formed. If a skin is present remove skin and mix the material. Before an open container is closed a thin layer of BT83 should be poured on top. This will retard any skinning.
 

Safety precautions & regulatory data
Treat as a flammable liquid Flashpoint 42°C (108°F). Keep away from heat, open flame and sparks. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid prolonged breathing of vapor. Read label instructions carefully and refer to Material Safety Data Sheet supplied. This product is for industrial use only and is not intended for use in or around a household or dwelling.

*All films pigmented, data is formulation dependent.
