Substrate type: steel structure
Surface preparation: the substrate must be clean and dry, free of dust, rust, oil, laitance, incompatible primers and other possible
Media affecting bond strength may be present. Note: improper surface preparation can cause adhesion failure, leading to detachment, blistering and other hazardous defects.
Primer: compatible with common steel anti-corrosive primers, but considering long-term safety and to avoid
To avoid the influence of certain unforeseeable factors, T&H New Materials recommends spraying a dedicated bonding coat between the fire protection coating and the anticorrosive steel coating where necessary.
Material mixing: at the site, add water and stir for spray or trowel application. Add potable-water-grade clean water while stirring,
The mixing ratio shall strictly follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the application conditions. Conventional or continuous mixers may be used; the mixer shall be kept clean and free from residues of the previous batch. The mixing speed of a conventional mixer shall be set to the lowest so that the material is fully mixed. Generally, each 20 kg bag of fire protection coating requires 3 minutes of mixing after water is added; insufficient mixing may cause blockages in the delivery pipes. The spray equipment shall be approved by T&H New Materials. The surface may be smoothed with a trowel, rolled flat, or left with the sprayed finish. Special note: an improper water-to-material ratio may increase the dry film density and the drying shrinkage rate of the dried film, which may cause cracking and detachment of the coating; follow the manufacturer's water mixing ratio recommendations.
Spray thickness: first pass 9–12 mm; subsequent passes typically about 15 mm each.
Ambient temperature: the ambient temperature during application shall be above 4°C and rising;
application should not proceed when the temperature is below 4°C and falling; the maximum temperature of the substrate or ambient environment shall not exceed 50°C; the substrate temperature shall be at least 2°C above the dew point.
Quality control: the application process shall strictly follow the application work instruction;
during application, thickness measurement, insulation efficiency, density and slump tests shall be carried out at the required frequency, with data recorded.
Application team: T&H Limpet 263 shall be applied by an application team trained by T&H and holding an application qualification
certificate issued by T&H. Major equipment used for application shall be approved by T&H.
20 kg/bag
Keep sealed in a ventilated, cool, dry place away from sources of ignition. Maximum 12 months.
In certain specific cases, a compatible fire protection coating topcoat is required. The topcoat improves decorative appearance, protects the fire protection coating and effectively prevents the growth of fungi and moss under severe environmental conditions.
