CPSystemBD. Carboguard A-788, by Carboline

Selection & Specification Data

Generic Type	Epoxy Polyamide
Description	Solvent-free patching compound used for repairing pits, cracks and voids in steel, concrete, wood and other surfaces. Has the unique ability to be mixed, applied and cured underwater.
Features	• Designed for underwater and other wet applications. • Can be applied up to 2" in thickness. • Self-priming on most surfaces and over most generic types of coatings. • Rapid cure characteristics. • VOC compliant to current AIM regulations.
Color	Olive Green
Finish	Low Gloss
Primers	Self-priming
Topcoats	Epoxies, Polyurethanes if required.
Dry Film Thickness	1/8"-2" (3.1-50 mm) for most applications. 1/4" (6.4 mm) is practical maximum thickness for vertical and overhead applications.
Solids Content	By Volume: 99% ± 1
Theoretical Coverage Rate	1604 mil ft² (24.5 m²/I at 25 microns). Allow for loss in mixing and application. Field experience has displayed a realistic coverage rate of 8 ft²/gallon (.2 m2/I). This figure accounts for actual losses and the fact that the product is frequently applied at higher dry film thicknesses.
Nominal VOC Values	As supplied: 0.00 Ibs/gal (0 g/I)
Dry Temperature Resistance	Continuous: 200°F (93°C) Non-Continuous: 250°F (121°C)

Substrates & Surface Preparation

General

Remove all oil or grease from the surface with Carboline Surface Cleaner 3 in accordance with SSPC-SP1. Remove all dirt, loose paint, sparring concrete, rotted wood, marine growth and other contaminants by abrasive blasting or high pressure water blasting. Hand or power tool cleaning methods may be used, but are of limited benefit and are time consuming. Abrasive blasting can be done underwater as the initial air blast will clear a path through the water for the abrasive/air mixture. When working at the splash zone or in salt water, coat cleaned metal surfaces as soon as possible to minimize new corrosion.
