Application Process:
Material to be treated must be clean & dry before treating. Agitate product before and throughout application. Apply as it’s received. May be sprayed on with a hand pump sprayer, rolled on or brushed on at a rate of 300-350 sf per gallon depending on material being treated. (Vertical spraying) Start from the bottom and work up as there is less run off this way. Drying time will vary 8-32hrs depending on weather and temperature. Rinse equipment & wash hands with soap.
Field Testing:
When the observation of the treatment and/or field testing is required, field testing must be conducted as follows: The treated substrate will not have distinctive observable features.
To ensure the substrate has been treated properly, the treated substrate must be field tested, the flame from a small fire source (propane torch) is applied to a treated and untreated sample of substrate for a period of not less than 15 seconds. The presence of the treatment must be observable through the comparison of the reactions of the substrates to the flame.
Presence of the coating can be observed when the coating begins to form a black char layer.
