Epoxy coatings may yellow during application and cure if exposed to the combustion by-products of improperly vented fossil fuel burning heaters. Commonly finished with DEVTHANE Urethane Enamel for maximum exterior color & gloss retention. Use only products that are in compliance with local VOC regulations.

Ventilation, film thickness, humidity, thinning and other factors can influence the rate of dry. Warning: The above table provides general guidelines only. Always consult your ICI Paints Representative for appropriate recoat windows since the maximum aged recoat time of this product may be significantly shortened or lengthened by a variety of conditions, including, but not limited to humidity, surface temperature, and the use of additives or thinners. The use of accelerators or force curing may shorten the aged recoat of individual coatings. The above recoat windows may not apply if recoating with a product other than those listed above. If the maximum aged recoat window is exceeded, please consult your ICI Paints Representative for appropriate recommendations to enhance adhesion. Failure to observe these precautions may result in intercoat delamination.

GENERAL SURFACE PREPARATION

Surfaces must be dry, clean, free of oil, grease, form release agents, curing compounds, laitance, other foreign matter and be structurally sound. Remove all loose paint, mortar spatter, mill scale, and rust. All direct to metal coatings provide maximum performance over blasted surfaces. There are situations and cost limitations which preclude blasting. DEVRAN 224HSwas designed to provide excellent protection over less than ideal surface preparation. The minimum standard for non-immersion service is SSPC-SP2 (ISO-St2); for immersion service the minimum standard is SSPC-SP10 (ISO-Sa2 1/2). These minimum surface preparation standards apply to steel that has been previously abrasive blasted, coated and deteriorated. Where very rusty surfaces still remain after cleaning use PRE- PRIME 167 Sealer before application of DEVRAN 224HS coating. All direct to metal coatings provide maximum performance over near-white blasted surfaces. New Surfaces: Steel New steel surfaces should be initially blasted to near-white metal surface cleanliness in accordance with SSPC-SP10 or ISO-Sa2 1/2 for immersion service or commercial blast cleanliness in accordance with SSPC-SP6 or ISO-Sa2 for non-immersion service. Blast profile on steel should be 1.2 to 2.5 mils (38-63 microns) in depth and be of a sharp, jagged nature as opposed to a peen pattern (from shot blasting). Surfaces must be free of grit dust. Concrete Block Remove loose aggregate and repair voids. Fill with this product or TRU-GLAZE-WB 4015 filler. Concrete Floors, Poured Concrete Cure at least 30 days. Acid etch or abrasive blast slick,
P

glazed concrete or concrete with laitance. Prime with PRE-PRIME 167 sealer or this coating. Galvanized Steel Remove dirt and oils by solvent cleaning or with DEVPREP 88 cleaner or other suitable cleaner followed by a thorough water rinsing. For non-immersion service, prime with DEVRAN 205 or DEVRAN 203 epoxy primers. For immersion or severe moisture condition, abrasive blasting is recommended before priming with this product or DEVRAN 201. Choice of primer depends on local VOC and air quality regulations.

Previously Painted Surfaces: Old coatings should be tested for lifting. If lifting occurs, remove the lifted coating. Otherwise scuff sand glossy areas and aged epoxy coatings. Clean aged epoxy or urethane coatings with DEVPREP 88 cleaner. Remove cracked and peeling paint. Prime bare areas with primer specified under New Surfaces. WARNING! If you scrape, sand, or remove old paint, you may release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to control lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a HEPA vacuum and a wet mop. Before you start, find out how to protect yourself and your family by contacting the National Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/lead.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Tinting: Tint the appropriate base with CHROMA-CHEM* 844 colorants. (Do not use water based colorants). Add colorants to only the base portion. Mix thoroughly before adding the Converter portion. Thinning: For compliance to VOC regulations, thin as follows: South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) available in DC224FN3501 only: Thinning is not required, however, if thinning is desired, add acetone or T-0 thinner at no more than 5% by volume. Read and follow all hazard and precautionary information found on labels, data sheets and MSDS's. California outside of SCAQMD: Thinning is not required, however, if thinning is desired, add T10 Thinner at no more than 5% by volume. All other areas: Thinning is not required, however, if thinning is desired, 10% or less by volume of T-10 Thinner can be added depending on local VOC and air quality regulations. Any solvent addition should be made after the two components are thoroughly mixed. Mixing: DEVRAN 224HS Coating is a two component product supplied in 10 gallon and 2 gallon kits which contain the proper ratio of ingredients. The entire contents of each container must be mixed together. Power mix both portions first to obtain a smooth, homogeneous condition. Then add the converter slowly with continued agitation. After the converter add is complete, continue to mix slowly. Allow the mixed material to stand 15 minutes at 60-80F (16-27C) before use. Always restir before use. Avoid storing or placing containers in direct sunlight. Application: Spray is preferred for appearance and film build control. For air spray application, use a fluid tip of .070'' or larger, a professional grade conventional gun and an air cap with good break-up. The fluid pressure should be kept low, with just enough air pressure to get good breakup of the coating. Excessive air pressure can cause over-spray problems. Where airless equipment is used, an airless spray pump capable of 3,000 psi (207 bars) and .019 to .025 tip size will provide a good spray pattern. Ideally, fluid hoses should not be less than 3/8 ID and not longer than 50 feet to obtain optimum results. Longer hose length may require an increase in pump capacity, pressure, and/or thinning. DEVRAN 224HS epoxy may also be applied by brush or roller. Care should be taken that proper and uniform thicknesses are obtained. For roller work use a clean synthetic roller with 1/4-1/2 nap. New rollers should be thoroughly wet with the specified thinner and spun vigorously to remove loose fibers. Brushing and rolling may require multiple coats to achieve correct film thickness and/or hiding. Cold Weather Applications: For substrate temperatures between 25F (-4C) and 40F (5C) cold weather additive 060A000 may be added. Two pint containers of 060A0000 may be added to the converter portion of a 10 gallon kit of DEVRAN 224HS coating. Thoroughly mix the 060A0000 additive in the converter with a power mixer prior to adding the converter to the base portion Dry Time (ASTM D 1640): At 6 Mils (150 microns) DFT with Cold Weather Additive (060A0000) Substrate Temperature To Recoat Dry Hard 25F(-4C) 25 hours >32 hours 30F(-1C) 16 hours 24 hours 40F(4C) 11 hours2 16 hours

Spreading Rate: Apply at 150-300 sq. ft. per gallon (4-7m2/L) depending on surface texture and porosity. Make allowance for any losses due to overspray or surface irregularities. Dry Time (ASTM D 1640): At 77F (25C) & 50% R.H., dries to recoat with epoxy or urethane in 6 hours and dry hard in 9 hours. Clean-up: Use T-10 Thinner, except in the South Coast Air Quality Management District use acetone, T-0 thinner or other solvent in compliance with local VOC and air quality regulations.
