Carboline Carbomastic 615 AL
Carboline Carbomastic 615 AL exhibits outstanding surface tolerance, low temperature cure capability, and very fast cure response for quick return to service. This lamellar aluminum-pigmented epoxy also contains inert flake reinforcement (micaceous iron oxide) to enhance film strength, barrier properties and overall performance.
Best Uses
Carbomastic 615 AL is a high performance, aluminium filled epoxy that has excellent resistance to fresh and salt water exposures. It is suitable for immersion service in fresh or salt water after 2 hour cure @ 75°F and is an excellent choice for field touch-up of zinc-rich primers and galvanized steel.
Carboline Carbomastic 615 AL is used in the following markets:
- Water & Wastewater
- Bridge & Highway
- Pulp & Paper
- Metals & Mining
- Petrochemical
- Commercial Marine
- Oil & Gas midstream
- Power - Thermal Fuel
- Oil & Gas upstream
Application
Always ensure the surface to be coated is clean and fully prepped prior to application. You should employ adequate methods to remove any dirt, dust, oil and all other contaminants that could interfere with the adhesion of the coating in accordance with SSPC-SP 1 and follow the guidelines below.
Steel:
Immersion: NACE No. 2/SSPC-SP 10 with 2.0-3.0 mil (50-75 microns) surface profile
Non-Immersion: NACE No. 3/SSPC-SP 6 with 2.0-3.0 mil (50-75 micron) surface profile for maximum protection. SSPC-SP 2, SSPC-SP 3, NACE No. 4/SSPC-SP 7, or NACE/SSPC WJ-1 to WJ-4 may also be acceptable methods. For alternate methods please contact our Technical Team for advice.
Concrete:
Concrete shall be designed, placed, cured, and prepared in accordance with NACE No. 6/SSPCSP 13, latest edition. Abrade to remove all laitance, loose concrete, etc. and to create surface profile in accordance with the ICRI CSP standard for the coating system.
Non-Ferrous Metals:
Surface profile should be a dense angular 1.5 - 3 mils and is best achieved through abrasive blasting in accordance with SSPC-SP16 for atmospheric exposure, or SSPC-SP17 for immersion environments.
The recommend application method is be conventional or airless spray. Brush and Roller are not recommended for tank lining applications except when striping welds.
