GUARDIANGREEN™

APPLICATION

Throughout the application the sanded surface must be clean and dry.

Insure that the substrate and outside air temperature is between 40º F (4.4º C) and 104º F (40º C) at least 6° (-14.44º C) above the dew point and rising.

STEP ONE: 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.

Apply coating over primer within eighteen (18) hours, if not coated within the time allotted, contact Freedom® Chemical Corporation.

Do not apply more primer to substrate than can be coated with FreedomTuff® 2190 within 18 hours of application. If primer is not coated within the allotted time, sand and re-apply primer.

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® 2190 precondition both Part-A and Part-B to 75º F (23.88º C) – 80º F (26.66º C) before applying.

Fit Part-A with a desiccant drying device.

Apply FreedomTuff® 2190 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

STEP TWO: Spray apply FreedomTuff® 2190 at a minimum of 9 gallons (34.0687 liters) per 100 square feet (9.290 m²) to the substrate, to achieve a theoretical dry film thickness of 144 dry mils (3657.6± microns) over the entire surface.

When FreedomTuff® 2190 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® 2190 should be sprayed in a smooth pattern, to establish uniform thickness and appearance (crosshatch pattern).

STEP THREE: (OPTIONAL AESTHETICS’) The FreedomTuff® 4000 is designed for exposed areas and must be applied within 0 – 6 hours of spraying FreedomTuff® 2190. FreedomTuff® 4000 in one coat at a rate of 1 gallon (3.7854 liters) per 100 square feet per gallon (9.290 m²) or in enough quantity to obtain a minimum theoretical dry film thickness of 16 mils (304.79 microns) to achieve a desired color.

Re-coating FreedomTuff® 4000 the surface must be properly prepared and primed prior to re-coating.

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.

Apply FreedomTuff® 4000 on horizontal and vertical surfaces, apply evenly over the entire surface using a ¼” mohair roller with a phenolic resin core.

FreedomTuff® 4000 should be applied in a smooth pattern to establish uniform thickness and appearance.
