PACKAGING:

100-gallon (380-liter) drum sets, shipped in metal drums of 50 gallons (190 liters) each of side A and side B

10-gallon (38-liter) kits, shipped in plastic pails of 5 gallons (19 liters) each of side A and side B

275-gallon (1045 liter) totes.

COVERAGE:

Nukote ST-pw may be applied at any rate to achieve the desired thickness. Calculation for theoretical coverage: 40 Ft² /gal @ 40 mils (1 m²/liter @ 1mm).

STORAGE:

Twelve to eighteen months in factory delivered, unopened drums. Store on pallets and keep away from extreme heat, freezing, and moisture. The use of drum heaters is encouraged to reduce material viscosity at low temperatures

MIXING:

Nukote ST-pw might not be diluted under any circumstance. Thoroughly mix Nukote ST-pw Part B resin material with air driven power equipment until a homogeneous mixture and color is obtained. Always use dedicated spray equipment.

SURFACE PREPARATION:

Concrete:

The surface of a concrete subfloor should be dry, smooth, structurally sound and free of depression, scale, or foreign deposits of any kind. Remove all curing compounds. Abrasive blast, sweep blast or water blast to remove all latent material and expose voids. Use a good quality epoxy filler or mortar for void and spall filling, skim coat or repairs. Prime, fill imperfections in the substrate surface to limit out-gassing. All concrete substrates, on or below grade level should be tested for moisture content. On-grade or below-grade concrete floors or slabs should have a moisture barrier installed to protect from ground moisture. The surface preparation of concrete should meet and conform to Joint NACE 6/SSPC-SP 13 standards and achieve a concrete surface profile of CSP 3 to CSP 6 as per ICRI Guideline No.03732 for optimum performance.

Metal:

All surfaces should be clean and free from contamination. The surface should be assessed and treated in accordance with ISO 8504, Abrasive blast the surface to minimum NACE-2/SSPC SP-10/Sa 2.5, as per ISO 8501-1, for a visual assessment of surface cleanliness with an anchor profile of 3 to 4 mils (75 -100 microns). Soluble salts must be removed to an acceptable levels. Refer to NCSI surface preparation manual for detailed procedures for different types of substrates.

APPLICATION:

Must be applied utilizing high-pressure, heated plural component spray proportioning equipment, such as Graco Reactor 2, or equivalent, capable of delivering materials without loss of pressure or drop in temperature for the appropriate hose length on a consistent basis. For optimum performance, the substrate should be abrasive blasted. Concrete substrates should be allowed to cure a minimum of 30 days. On concrete, Nukote ST-pw should always be applied over a suitable primer for maximum adhesion. For all submersed or immersion applications, use of a suitable primer is absolutely essential. On horizontal surface applications, a texture “stipple” coat can be applied for non-skid purposes, after reaching the initial desired film thickness. Recommended DFTs are a function of the project specific requirements. Please review your specific project with Nukote technicians.

EQUIPMENT CLEAN UP:

Cured product may be disposed of without restriction. Uncured Isocyanate and resin portions should be mixed together and disposed of in accordance with local regulations. Containers should be disposed of according to local environmental laws and ordinances.

LIMITATIONS:

Do not open until ready to use, and store in a sealed container after opening. Adding a nitrogen blanket is strongly recommended for the ‘A’ component when storing after opening.

WARNING:

This product contains Isocyanate and curatives

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE:

Each Nukote product formulation has varying levels of resistance to specific chemicals. Please review the chemical immersion test data included in the Nukote Test Book for general resistance to specific chemicals at specific concentration levels. Chemical concentrations are complex and when combined with temperatures above ambient levels this complexity increases exponentially. Contact Nukote Technical Personnel for specific recommendations for chemical resistance prior to specifying these products in this application type. Consult with NCSI for more details on product and chemical resistance. The following chart is the results of Polyurea immersed in chemicals and tested as per modified ASTM D 3912.

R = Resistant, RC = Slight surface change or discolouration with no loss of hardness
