Enviroline® 57X

Epoxy
PRODUCT An ultra low viscosity, two component sealer, primarily for concrete.
DESCRIPTION

INTENDED USES Enviroline 57X seals porous substrates prior to application of chemically resistant linings in the
Enviroline range.

Enviroline 57X displays a number of benefits:

- Spray, roller or brush applied
- Excellent adhesion
- Excellent penetration into porous substrates

PRACTICAL Colour Clear

SURFACE All surfaces should be clean, dry and free from contaminants including, but not limited to curing
PREPARATION compounds, release agents, trowelling compounds, surface hardeners, efflorescence, grease, oil,
dirt, old coatings and loose or disintegrating concrete. All poured and precast concrete must also be
sweep blasted (preferred) or acid etched to remove laitence.

Refer to International Protective Coatings' Concrete Surface Preparation Guidelines for further
information.

APPLICATION Mixing Material is supplied in two containers as a unit. Complete units should be
stored, mixed and applied in accordance with the Enviroline Application
Guidelines.

Mix Ratio 3 part(s) : 1 part(s) by volume

Working Pot Life 25°C (77°F)
40 minutes

Air Spray Recommended Use suitable proprietary equipment

(Conventional)
Brush Recommended

Roller Recommended Use a ¼'' to ½'' nap roller

Thinner DO NOT THIN

Cleaner Enviroline 71C

Work Stoppages Do not allow material to remain in hoses, gun or spray equipment.
Thoroughly flush all equipment with Enviroline 71C. Once units of paint
have been mixed, they should not be resealed and it is advised that after
prolonged stoppages, work recommences with freshly mixed units.

Clean Up Clean all equipment immediately after use with Enviroline 71C. It is good
working practice to periodically flush out spray equipment during the course
of the working day. Frequency should depend upon amount sprayed,
temperature and elapsed time, including any delays.

All surplus material and empty containers should be disposed of in

accordance with appropriate regional regulations/legislation.

PRODUCT The detailed Enviroline Application Guidelines should be consulted prior to use.
CHARACTERISTICS
This datasheet provides general guidance on the use of Enviroline 57X. Specific project
requirements will be dependent upon the service end use and operating conditions of the
tank or vessel.

The detailed project coating specification provided by International Protective Coatings

must be followed at all times.

Surface temperature must always be a minimum of 3°C (5°F) above dew point.

Use the following chart for preferred temperature conditions. These conditions plus adequate
ventilation must be maintained throughout the curing cycle.

Coating Temperature Substrate Temperature Air Temperature

Preferred 24-41°C (75-105°F) 21-49°C (70-120°F) 21-38°C (70-100°F)
Minimum 18°C (65°F) 10°C (50°F) 10°C (50°F)

Do not apply when relative humidity exceeds 90% or when condensation is likely to occur.

Do not overbuild or 'pond' this product as this will delay cure and recoat and could compromise the
performance of the system.

Maximum continuous dry temperature resistance for Enviroline 57X is 121ºC (250°F).

Note: VOC values are typical and are provided for guidance purpose only. These may be subject
to variation depending on factors such as differences in colour and normal manufacturing
tolerances.

Low molecular weight reactive additives, which will form part of the film during normal ambient cure
conditions, will also affect VOC values determined using EPA Method 24.

SYSTEMS Enviroline 57X is compatible with a wide range of Enviroline linings. Please refer to the project
COMPATIBILITY coating specification for details.

Enviroline 57X should always be used as part of a system; it is not intended to be a single coat
system.

SAFETY This product is intended for use only by professional applicators in industrial situations.
PRECAUTIONS All work involving the application and use of this product should be performed in compliance with all
relevant national Health, Safety and Environmental standards, regulations and legislation.

Proper ventilation must be provided during application and afterwards during curing (refer to product
datasheets for typical curing times) to ensure safe limits and prevent fires and explosions. Forced
extraction will be required in confined spaces. Ventilation and/or respiratory personal protective
equipment (airfed hoods or appropriate cartridge masks) must be provided during application and curing.
Take precautions to avoid skin and eye contact (overalls, gloves, goggles, masks, barrier cream, etc).

Before use, obtain, read and then follow the advice given on the Material Safety Data Sheets (Parts A
and B if two-pack) and the Health and Safety section of the Coatings Applications Procedures for this
product.

In the event that welding or flame cutting is performed on metal coated with this product, dust and fumes
will be emitted which will require the use of appropriate personal protective equipment and adequate local
exhaust ventilation.

The detailed safety measures are dependent on application methods and the work environment. If you do
not fully understand these warnings and instructions or if you cannot strictly comply with them, do not use
the product and consult International Protective Coatings.

Warning: This product contains liquid epoxies and modified polyamines and may cause skin
sensitisation if not used correctly.
