DESCRIPTION

Termarust 2101 Stainless Steel Primer/Topcoat Tower and Flexible Structure Coating is a pigmented Reacted Alkaline Viscolastic Calcium Sulfonate coating, designed and engineered exclusively for encapsulation (overcoat) of galvanizing, core 10 steel tightly adhered contaminant free rust, existing aged leaded paints, vinyls, coal tar epoxy, polyurethanes, epoxy mastics, organic or inorganic zinc, metallizing, acrylics, and, or re-coating of new or prepared structural steel. Ideal for use with water jetting

Termarust 2101 Stainless Steel Primer/Topcoat Tower and Flexible Structure Coating enhances the following characteristics:

• Advanced Technology
• Applicator Friendly
• High Performance
• Surface Tolerant
• Single Component
• Non Hazardous
• Single Coat
• Low VOC
• High Solids
• Non-conductive
• Superior Anti-Corrosive Protection
• Field proven performance over 24 years.

Termarust 2101 Stainless Steel Primer/Topcoat Tower and Flexible Structure Coating outperforms zinc/epoxy/urethane systems.

USES

Termarust 2101 Self-Priming Topcoat allows tremendous flexibility in surface profile and preparation. It’s single component, high build, high solids, rust inhibitive is ideal for the reclamation and long term protection of utility towers, steel structures, cable suspension systems, bridges, highway overpasses, pipelines and industrial infrastructure

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. (7 mg/sq. meter).

APPLICATION

The Termarust 2101 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 then 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: Termarust 2101 Stainless Steel Primer/Topcoat Tower and Flexible Structure Coating may be applied below freezing (-18ºC or 0°F). This is not recommended unless steps are taken to control ice crystals on the steel before application. i.e. spot heating. Cold temperatures will slow the coating’s 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 TR83 should be poured on top. This will retard any skinning.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Treat as 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.
