GUARDIAN-PD™
FREEDOMTUFF® GUARDIAN-PD™ for Below Grade, Podium Decks, Planters, Split/Between Slab, Under Tile and HVAC applications utilizing an epoxy
primer, FreedomTuff® 2214 or 2216 (Tuff® 2550-FR Fire ratings E84-17 and E108 Class A) an instant setting two-component spray polyurea that provides
a waterproof membrane with a theoretical dry film thickness between 80 mils± (2032 microns) and 112 mils± (2844.8 microns) mil thicknesses are based on specification. These coatings are 100% solids, solvent free and odorless, forming a continuous seamless membrane. The FreedomTuff® Guardian-PDTM is available with a 5-year or longer leak free warranty if preapproved in writing prior to the start of the project by Freedom® Chemical Corp, and with full time independent third-party inspection service, hired by owner.

APPLICATION
Throughout the application the sanded surface must be clean and dry.
For optimum results proceed with application while air and substrate temperatures are between 32º F (0° C) and 104° F (40° C) 6º (-14.44º C) above the dew point and rising.
Prior to application of FreedomTuff® 2214 or 2216 precondition both Part-A and Part-B to 75º F (23.88º C) – 80º F (26.66º C) before applying.
The substrate may require more than one coat of FreedomTuff® primer. After selection of primer, mix and immediately pour primer onto the substrate at a rate of 100 to 200 square feet per gallon (9.29030m² to 18.5806m² per liter) in enough quantity to obtain a minimum theoretical dry film thickness of 8 mils (203.2 microns) per coat.
Aggregate the primer with 0.125 pounds of washed, rounded, dry contamination free sand nominal sieve size #30-60.
Excess aggregate must be completely removed before application of the FreedomTuff® 2214 or 2216.
Do not apply more primer to substrate than can be coated with FreedomTuff® 2214 or 2216 within eighteen (18) hours of application. If primer is not coated within the allotted time, sand and re-apply primer.
STEP TWO: Fit Part-A with a desiccant drying device.
Apply FreedomTuff® 2214 or 2216 using a plural component, high pressure 1:1 ratio heated, spray equipment. (OPTIONAL) Use FreedomTuff® 2550-FR for fire rating.
Proportioner Conditions:
- Capacity minimum 20 lbs. per minute
- Static pressure 2800 – 3000psi
- Spraying pressure 2500psi minimum
- Pressure balance 100 variance desirable
- 300 psi variance maximum
- Temperatures preheaters & hose 165º F (73.8889º C) each
Spray apply FreedomTuff® 2214 or 2216 at a between 5 to 7 gallons (18.93 to 26.50 liters) per 100 square feet (9.290 m²) to the substrate, to achieve a theoretical dry film thickness of 80 to 112 dry mils (2032 to 2844.8 microns) over the entire surface.
When FreedomTuff® 2214 or 2216 is applied in sections, each application must overlap the previous one within 0 – 6 hours by a minimum six (6”) to a neat straight line.
FreedomTuff® 2214 or 2216 should be sprayed in a smooth pattern, to establish uniform thickness and appearance (crosshatch pattern).
Recoat window is within 0-6 hours of application, if not recoated within 0-6 hours, sand, prime and re-apply FreedomTuff® 2214 or 2216.
STEP 3: FOR STONE OR TILE APPLICATIONS (ONLY) On horizontal surfaces hand apply the FreedomTuff® 4300 at .75 gallons (2.83906 liters) per 100 square feet, to the FreedomTuff® 2214 or 2216 in enough quantity to obtain 12 dry mils (304.8 microns) and spread evenly over the entire surface using 1/8” notched squeegee, then back roll using a ¼ mohair roller with a phenolic resin core,
Prior to its full set and starting to gel, broadcast to refusal a washed, dry, rounded, contamination free 20 nominal sieve size sand (0.0331”/.850 millimeters,) with 6.5 Moh’s minimum hardness into the FreedomTuff® 4300. Excess (loose) aggregate must be completely removed before application of the thin set. If shiny spots (no sand) appear in this area, re-apply FreedomTuff® 4300 and reapply sand.
DRY FILM THICKNESS
Freedom® Chemical Corporation’s Guardian-PD™ with primer is a theoretical dry film thickness of 80 to 112 dry mils (2032 to 2844.8 microns).
SPECIFICATION AND FIELD ASSISTANCE
Contact Freedom® Chemical Corporation for assistance.
Jobsite visits by Freedom® Chemical Corporation’s employees or its independent agents are solely for determining qualification for warranty.
DISPOSAL
All spilled material, unused contents of containers, empty containers and secondary containment spills/leaks, must be cleaned up and disposed of in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.
PRODUCT INFORMATION
See Product Information Bulletins for substrate preparation, packaging, coverage rates, primer, mixing and application information for each product selected.
FreedomTuff® products have a shelf life of 1 year from the date of manufacture, in factory-sealed containers.
TESTING IS REQUIRED FOR LEAK FREE WARRANTIES
Test the entire surface of the protective liner by spark testing at 100 volts per dry mil of lining thickness as per NACE Standard RPO 18B or ASTM D-1562 (steel) or ASTM D-4787 (concrete).
Substrate adhesion test should be performed seven days after application. All testing should be performed by a qualified testing agency. Freedom® Chemical Corporation is not responsible for testing.
The FreedomTuff® product line is a revelation of what Polyureas, Polyurethanes, Polyaspartics and Epoxies are about. When so many products have been “made” for maximum impact, at Freedom® Chemical Corporation we’ve been content to let our products speak quietly. No need to shout when you have something special to say.
