AES-150
Flexible Base Coat
|
Storage &
Handling
|
| AES-150
Flexible Base Coat is a Polyamide resin epoxy designed
to protect surfaces that are disturbed by the solvents
associated with the application of AES-100. AES-150 prevents solvents from attacking
asphalt-based substrates, which may cause discoloring of
AES-100.
|
Application Areas
AES-150 is used prior to the application of AES-100 in areas where
asphalt-based products are present. For use with poly-lace
over built-up roofs, rolled roofing, rubber cement, tar,
or other asphalt-based substrates, AES-150 is especially
suited to applications where surface movement may defeat
the protection of a rigid coating.
|
Preparation
Surfaces must be cleaned
free of grease, oil, films, dust, or any
other contaminants. Most roof surfaces should be pressure washed to remove any
barrier films. Metal must be free of mill scale, oils, rust, etc.
Hard-finished concrete should be etched to provide profile or
"tooth" for optimal adhesion.
These preparation procedures are general guidelines. Consult AES technicians for further details or
special preparation procedures. Roofing specifications are also available for various substrates.
|
Mixing
The mixing of parts A & B is very important!
AES-150 has a mixing ratio of 4 parts "B" to 1 part "A". Use a power mixer to thoroughly combine both parts. Mix for at least 1
minute per gallon.
Allow idle activation time for at least 10 minutes. |
Application
AES-150 can be applied by air-less spray equipment,
brush, or roller at approximately 100-sq. ft. per gallon
per coat. A two-coat application with poly-lace embedded
between the two is recommended to help insure
complete protection. Each coat will yield approximately 8
dry mils. One coat is to be applied to surface before
the poly-lace and one coat after the poly-lace.
Irregular surfaces or surfaces subject to significant
movement or other difficult conditions may require
heavier applications. All penetrations or transitions of
surface materials should be poly-laced. Surface configuration, weather, or area
surroundings may dictate application method. DO NOT apply
heavier than 10 mils per coat. If more is needed, apply
in multiple coats. Allow AES-150 to become tack-free
before applying additional coats or approximately 6 hrs.
at 80ºF.
|
Thinning
Lacquer Thinner is recommended for best results. For general purposes, thinning is not necessary
with AES-150. If thinning is necessary, thin no more than 2 quart of
thinner per 5 gallons of epoxy. Lacquer Thinner should only be added after the
mixing process is complete. Thinning retards cure time, increases possibility
of bleed through, and extends pot life.
|
General
AES-150
should be applied in well ventilated areas. Surfaces
should be free of foreign matter. DO NOT apply near open
flame.
|
Clean
Up
Application equipment should be cleaned immediately
with lacquer thinner. Use Apple Cider Vinegar to clean hands and skin. Do
not allow AES-150 to remain on tools! Once it sets and is cured, it is difficult to
remove.
