TOWER-GARD 568<\/strong> is based on a unique blend of liquid epoxy polymer, toughening resins and aliphatic polyamine curing agents and is able to displace water from wet surfaces in order to make a permanent bond. The formulation is solvent-free to ensure safety and maximum technical performance. Kevlar\u00ae fibers are incorporated for reinforcement and viscosity management to achieve high application rates \u2013 even underwater!<\/p>\n

BIO-DUR\u00ae 568<\/strong> provides permanent protection under the most adverse conditions. The formula is uniquely field-friendly and uses advanced low toxicity ingredients. Standard color is Haze Gray. Shipping is Non Hazmat, \u201cNon-Regulated\u201d by USDOT, IATA and IMO.<\/p>\n

* Kevlar is a trademark of E. I. Dupont de Nemours Co.<\/em>[\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=”Recommended Uses” _builder_version=”4.4.1″]ANTICORROSIVE COATING:<\/strong>
\nFor structural steel and galvanized surfaces in atmospheric service. TOWER-GARD 568 is uniquely tolerant of compromised surfaces. TOWER-GARD 568 can be applied over all types of tightly adherent existing coatings as well as to bare steel or galvanizing.[\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=”Technical Information” _builder_version=”4.4.1″]<\/p>\n

VEHICLE TYPE<\/strong> : Epoxy, Flexibilizers and Aliphatic amines<\/p>\n

PIGMENTATION<\/strong> : Color\/Inert\/fibrous reinforcement<\/p>\n

COLORS<\/strong> : Standard Haze Gray \u2013 others available<\/p>\n

FINISH<\/strong> : Slight texture by brush, smooth by spray<\/p>\n

THINNER<\/strong> : Not normally required<\/p>\n

CLEANER<\/strong> : MEK or lacquer thinner<\/p>\n

MIXING RATIO<\/strong> : 1.0\/1.0 v\/v<\/p>\n

INDUCTION TIME<\/strong> : Not required<\/p>\n

POT LIFE<\/strong> : Approx. 40min. \/ 77\u00b0 F<\/p>\n

FLASH POINT<\/strong> : Over 200\u00b0 F<\/p>\n

SOLIDS BY VOLUME<\/strong> : 100%<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=”Application Notes” _builder_version=”4.4.1″]<\/p>\n

SURFACE PREPARATION:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Painted Surfaces: <\/span>TOWER-GARD 568<\/strong> can be applied over all types of existing coatings or coating residue provided they are in general fair condition and tightly adherent. Remove loose surface contamination by sanding, discing, abrasive blasting or water jetting prior to application.<\/p>\n

Application above water requires similar high pressure water blasting or dry abrasive blasting to yield a firm, granular surface free of loose contamination.<\/p>\n

MIXING PROCEDURE:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

BIO-DUR\u00ae 568<\/strong> is supplied either in 2 gallon or 4 gallon kits of 2\u00d71 or 2\u00d72 gallon containers, including one each of epoxy base and curing agent. It is important to thoroughly mix equal volumes of the two components as \u201chotspots\u201d of badly mixed components will cure poorly.<\/p>\n

Mix in a clean container using either paint stirrers for small quantities or a \u201cJiffy\u201d style mechanical paint stirrer for larger quantities. \u201cHotspots\u201d of unmixed material will be seen as streaks and will never cure.<\/p>\n

APPLICATION:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

1.  Above water by brush or roller<\/strong>: Use natural or synthetic fibers, it is generally not worth the effort to clean these tools after use.<\/p>\n

2.  By Heated Plural Component Airless Spray<\/strong>:The setup described below will give satisfactory results on larger jobs:<\/p>\n

Equipment: Graco \u201cKing\u201d, 1\/1 ratio units or similar heavy-duty pumps
\nHose Pack Length: Up to 160 feet of at least 3\/8\u201d \u2013 recommend heated and insulated hose pack.
\nFilters: Remove all <\/strong>filters \u2013 these will clog with Kevlar fibers very quickly
\nFluid Temperature: Recommend 125\u00b0F \u2013 135\u00b0F
\nFluid Pressure: 2,500 \u2013 3,000 psi at the tip
\nTip Size: minimum 0.031 thou\u201d
\nCleaning Solvent: MEK or standard epoxy thinner<\/p>\n

CURING BEFORE SERVICE:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

TOWER-GARD 568<\/strong> may be immersed in fresh or salt water immediately after application. It will cure to a hard film within about 14 hours and is suitable for light traffic after this time.<\/p>\n
