International, Ceilcote 680 Primer

Ceilcote® 680 Primer is a low viscosity epoxy primer for steel and concrete.

Intended Uses

As a primer for various Ceilcote schemes over both steel and concrete.

¹ EU Solvent Emissions Directive (Council Directive 1999/13/EC)

Surface Preparation

All surfaces to be coated should be clean, dry and free from contamination. Prior to paint application all surfaces should be assessed and treated in accordance with ISO 8504:2000.

Oil or grease should be removed in accordance with SSPC-SP1 Solvent Cleaning.

Steel Substrates:
For immersion service or service in humid conditions or elevated temperatures, this product should be applied to surfaces which have been prepared by abrasive blast cleaning to Sa3 (ISO 8501-1:2007), SSPC SP5 or NACE #1. For dry environments abrasive blast cleaning to Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007), SSPC SP10 or NACE #2 will be suitable. A minimum surface profile of 75 microns (3 mils) is required.

Ceilcote 680 Primer must be applied before oxidation of the steel occurs. If oxidation does occur the entire oxidised area should be reblasted to the standard specified above. Surface defects revealed by the blast cleaning process should be ground, filled or treated in the appropriate manner.

Concrete Substrates:
Concrete should be well cured prior to priming with the appropriate primer. The concrete surface should be dry and pass the plastic sheet test (ASTM D4263). All surfaces should be clean, dry and free from curing compounds, release agents, trowelling compounds, surface hardeners, efflorescence, grease, oil, dirt, old coatings and loose or disintegrating concrete. All concrete surfaces must also be abrasive blast cleaned to provide a roughened surface and remove laitance. The surface tensile strength (ASTM 4541) as prepared should be at least 2MPa (300 psi). Refer to the Concrete Surface Preparation Guidelines for more information.

Product Characteristics

The detailed Application Guidelines for the relevant Ceilcote system should always be consulted prior to use.

The Ceilcote 680 Primer application shall be conducted by the Applicator Company using employees trained in the appropriate application procedures. It is strongly advised that both application and application supervision is only carried out by professional personnel who have been trained in the correct use of the products.

The exact specification with regards to dry film thickness and number of coats will be provided by International Protective Coatings prior to application start up.

For concrete substrates where film integrity spark testing of lining and coating systems applied over Ceilcote 680 Primer is required, a conductive powder should be added. The type and quantity of powder per litre (and gallon) of mixed resin is as follows:
C-1 Powder 0.16 kg/l (1.3 lb/gal)
The powder must first be added and mixed into Part A resin prior to adding Part B.

Surface temperature must always be a minimum of 3°C (5°F) above dew point.

For all application steps, the surface temperature, air temperature and material temperature should be between 10ºC (50ºF) and 43ºC (110ºF).

Do not apply when relative humidity exceeds 90% or when condensation is likely to occur.

Dehumidification (DH) air conditioning and/or heating equipment may be necessary to control environmental conditions.

Consult International Protective Coatings for temperature limits for specific end use requirements.

Note:
VOC values are typical and are provided for guidance purpose only. These may be subject to variation depending on factors such as differences in colour and normal manufacturing tolerances.

Low molecular weight reactive additives, which will form part of the film during normal ambient cure conditions, will also affect VOC values determined using EPA Method 24.

Systems Compatibility

Ceilcote 680 Primer is designed for application to correctly prepared substrates.

It is compatible with various Ceilcote coatings and linings; consult International Protective Coatings or further advice.

Safety Precautions

This product is intended for use only by professional applicators in industrial situations.All work involving the application and use of this product should be performed in compliance with all relevant national Health, Safety and Environmental standards, regulations and legislation.

Proper ventilation must be provided during application and afterwards during curing (refer to product datasheets for typical curing times) to ensure safe limits and prevent fires and explosions. Forced extraction will be required in confined spaces. Ventilation and/or respiratory personal protective equipment (airfed hoods or appropriate cartridge masks) must be provided during application and curing. Take precautions to avoid skin and eye contact (overalls, gloves, goggles, masks, barrier cream, etc).

Before use, obtain, read and then follow the advice given on the Material Safety Data Sheets (Parts A and B if two-pack) and the Health and Safety section of the Coatings Applications Procedures for this product.

In the event that welding or flame cutting is performed on metal coated with this product, dust and fumes will be emitted which will require the use of appropriate personal protective equipment and adequate local exhaust ventilation.

The detailed safety measures are dependent on application methods and the work environment. If you do not fully understand these warnings and instructions or if you cannot strictly comply with them, do not use the product and consult International Protective Coatings.
