General
®
Product description: Elasto-Qote Coldspray FC is a solvent-free dualcartridge spray-applied aromatic pure Polyurea elastomeric coating. Originally designed for protecting small steel and concrete substrates and touch-up of existing polyurea coating systems when plural component spray equipment is no option to use. Elasto-Qote® Coldspray FC has excellent abrasion and impact resistance, flexibility and crackbridging properties and a good overall chemical and salt water resistance. Features: 100% Solids Pure Polyurea Elastomer No VOC User friendly 1:1 dual cartridge spray system Very fast set-time for reducing handling and return to service Not sensitive for humidity during application Service temperature (dry) from -40 up to 130°C (-40 up to 266˚F) Can be applied from -10 up to 49˚C (14 up to 120˚F) Can be used to protect steel, concrete and various other substrates Unlimited film-build in one single multi-pass application Excellent impact and abrasion resistant
Application examples Application: for small applications and touch-up to protect steel, concrete and various other substrates in areas where an easy to install, very fast curing, high impact resistant, weather-resistant, durable coating system is required, such as water-and waste water treatment services, secondary containment areas, manholes, digesters, clarifiers, penstocks, cooling towers, sedimentation reservoirs, hoppers, wear part on platforms, park decks and ramps, bridge- and tunnel construction and many other services.

Concrete must be at least 28 days cured at 75˚F (24˚C). The area to be coated has to be clean, dry and free from oil, grease and dust. All contamination that could interfere with the adhesion of the coating has to be removed according to SSPC-SP1 or equal. Leaks and water infiltrations must be eliminated. Remove free-standing water, repair excessive cracks and resurface exposed aggregate and small voids with a suitable high-strength, fast curing, non-shrinking product. Prior and during the surface preparation, the temperature of the substrate(s) must be at least 5˚F (3˚C) above the dew point. CSP 4-6. Do not overblast the concrete. SSPC-SP13/NACE 6

Shake the Dual Cartridges until uniform in consistency and heat them up to a temperature of 25-32˚C (77-90˚F). Use a 600ml or 1500ml 1:1 Dual Cartridge Spray Gun and a compressor which can maintain a 6-8 bar (87-116psi) operating pressure and a 63.4 Gallon/240 Liter per minute output. Consult Elasto-Qote® for specific information. Keep the Dual Cartridges in the upright position and remove the cap, attach the Static Mixer and attach the Dual Cartridge into the Spray Gun while keeping it in the upright position. Start spraying and do not stop. Apply ElastoQote® FC Coldspray in the recommended DFT. Use a WFT gauge to check.

Inspection and Repair Inspection
Coating Thickness
Repair
The finished coating must be visually inspected for any defects, such as runs and sags, fisheyes, blistering, pinholes, missed spots and possible contaminants. Pinhole/Holiday detection must generated according to NACE SP0188 (for steel substrates only). The coating thickness (DFT) must be within the specified DFT range. Use calibrated equipment and measure according to SSPC-PA 2 or other specified standard. Pinholes/Holidays must be located and repaired with approved material. Consult Elasto-Qote® for specific information. Retest the repaired area.
Cleaning Cleanup
Use MEK or NMP.
Handling General
Transport and stacking is possible after full cure of the coating and generating a Holiday test (NACE SP0188). This time can be reduced by increasing the curing temperature. Consult Elasto-Qote® for specific information.
