Features

· High build in a single coat.

· Sets and cures over a broad temperature range.

· Excellent adhesion to grit blasted steel - an ideal mainline corrosion coating for pipelines.

· Superior adhesion to Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) coatings - ideal coating for joint protection and repair of FBE coated pipe.

· Can be used for mainline FBE coating repair and rehabilitation.

· Suitable for girth weld protection during directional drilling.

· Excellent chemical resistance.

· Outstanding resistance to cathodic disbonding up to 95°C (203°F) operating temperatures.

· Easily applied with brush, roller or a heated, airless spray system.

· Zero VOC’s, 100% solids is environmentally friendly.

· Single pass thickness of 20-40mils (500 – 1000 microns).

Mixing and Application Instruction

· HBE-95 must be applied to clean dry surface only.

· Ambient conditions for successful application include: Relative humidity less than 85%; and temperature greater than 3°C (5°F) above the dew point.

· The acceptable substrate temperature range for application is 10°C (50°F) to 100°C (212°F). Applying onto warm substrate greater than 38° C (100°F) enhances coating adhesion.

· Formulated to mixing ratio of 3 parts Base to one part Cure by volume.

· If additional coats are required, they shall be applied while the preceding coat is still tacky (no tie coat needed). The maximum over-coating interval shall not exceed two (2) hours at 25°C (77°F) without roughening the surface. If recoating interval has been exceeded, surface must be blast roughened prior to application of topcoat.

· A minimum of four (4) hours curing above 20°C (68°F) is required prior to handling. Handling time may be longer at lower temperatures. Backfill only after Shore D hardness
reaches 70.

Brush Grade (including cartridge):

· Apply thoroughly mixed epoxy by brush, roller or trowel.

· When coating pipe, remove application tools on the upstroke to prevent pulling material down and off the pipe bottom.

· Refer to HBE-95 Brush Grade Installation Guide for detailed information.

Spray Grade:

· HBE-95 Spray Grade shall be applied to the specified Dry Film Thickness (DFT) in a single application using a 3:1 mix-ratio Graco Hydra-Cat two-component spray equipment or
approved equal.

· Pot-life of mixed components in spray hose is less than 1 minute.

· Detailed application instructions and technical support are available from Canusa.
