CarBoZinC 11

Generic Type Description Solvent Based Inorganic Zinc Time-tested corrosion resistant primer that protects steel galvanically in the harshest environments. For over four decades, Carbozinc 11 (CZ 11) has been the industry standard for high-performance inorganic zinc protection on steel structures worldwide. CZ 11 meets Class B slip co-efficient an creep testing criteria for use on faying surfa es with 73# zinc dust filler. Rapid cure. Dry to handle in 45 minutes at 60F (16C) and 50% relative humidity. Low temperature cure down to 0F (-18C) High zinc loading. Meets FDA requirements in gray color. Available in ASTM D520, Type II zinc version. Very good resistance to salting. May be applied with standard airless or con ventional spray equipment. VOC compliant in certain areas Lower zinc loading for economics. VOC compliant for shop/fabricator use only. Green (0300); Gray (0700) Flat Self Priming Not required for certain exposures. Can be topcoated with Epoxies, Polyurethanes, Acrylics, High-Heat Silicones and others as recommended by your Carboline sales representative. Under certain conditions, a mist coat is required to minimize topcoat bubbling. 2.0-3.0 mils (50-75 microns). Dry film thickness in excess of 6.0 mils (150 microns) per coat is not recommended. __CZ_11__ CZ 11 By Weight: 79% 2% By Weight: 85% 2% CZ 11 FG 74% + 2% 79% + 2%

Substrates & Surface Preparation

General Surfaces must be clean and dry. Employ adequate methods to remove dirt, dust, oil and all other contaminants that could interfere with adhesion of the coating. Non-Immersion: SSPC-SP6 and obtain a 1.0-3.0 mil (25-75 micron) angular blast profile.

Listed below are general equipment guidelines for the application of this product. Job site conditions may require modification to these guidelines to achieve the desired results. General Guidelines: Spray Application The following spray equipment has been found (General) suitable and is available from manufacturers such as Binks, DeVilbiss and Graco. Keep material under mild agitation during application. If spraying stops for more than 10 minutes, recirculate the material remaining in the spray line. Do not leave mixed primer in the hoses during work stoppages.

Mixing & Thinning

Mixing Power mix base, then combine and power mix as follows. Pour zinc filler very slowly into premixed base with continuous agitation. Mix until free of lumps. Pour mixture through a 30 mesh screen. DO NOT MIX PARTIAL KITS. Tip: Sifting zinc through a window screen will aid in the mixing process by breaking up or catching dry zinc lumps.

Thinning

May be thinned up to 5 oz/gal (4%) with #26 for ambient and warm surfaces. For extremely warm or windy conditions, may be thinned up to 5 oz/gal (4%) with #33. In cool weather (below 40F (4C)), thin up to 7 oz/gal (6%) with #21. Use of thinners other than those supplied or recommended by Carboline may adversely affect product performance and void product warranty, whether expressed or implied. 8 Hours at 75F (24C) and less at higher temperatures. Pot life ends when coating becomes too viscous to use.

Cleanup & Safety

Cleanup Safety Use Thinner #21 or Isopropyl Alcohol. In case of spillage, absorb and dispose of in accordance with local applicable regulations. Read and follow all caution statements on this product data sheet and on the MSDS for this product. Employ normal workmanlike safety precautions. Hypersensitive persons should wear protective clothing, gloves and use protective cream on face, hands and all exposed areas.

These times are based on a 3.0-4.0 mil (75-100 micron) dry film thickness. Higher film thickness, insufficient ventilation or cooler temperatures will require longer cure times and could result in solvent entrapment and premature failure. Humidity levels below 50% will require longer cure times. Notes: Any salting that appears on the zinc surface as a result of prolonged weathering exposure must be removed prior to the application of additional coatings. Also, loose zinc must be removed from the cured film by rubbing with fiberglass screen wire if: 1) The Carbozinc 11 is to be used without a topcoat in immersion service and zinc pick up could be detrimental, or 2) When dry spray/overspray is evident on the cured film and a topcoat will be applied. For accelerated curing or where the relative humidity is below 40%, allow an initial 2-hour ambient cure. Follow 2 hour cure with water misting or steam to keep the coated surface wet for a minimum of 8 hours and until the coated surface achieves a 2H pencil hardness per ASTM D3363.

Ventilation When used as a tank lining or in enclosed areas, thorough air circulation must be used during and after application until the coating is cured. The ventilation system should be capable of preventing the solvent vapor concentration from reaching the lower explosion limit for the solvents used. In addition to ensuring proper ventilation, appropriate respirators must be used by all application personnel. Caution This product contains flammable solvents. Keep away from sparks and open flames. All electrical equipment and installations should be made and grounded in accordance with the National Electric Code. In areas where explosion hazards exist, workmen should be required to use non-ferrous tools and wear conductive and non-sparking shoes.

This product simply requires the substrate temperature to be above the dew point. Condensation due to substrate temperatures below the dew point can cause flash rusting on prepared steel and interfere with proper adhesion to the substrate. Special application techniques may be required above or below normal application conditions.
