6009 Epoxy LV Metallic

Unique Characteristics

• Extended Working Time: Ideal for intricate designs and large surface areas.
• Low Viscosity: Ensures smooth application and minimal bubbling.
• Air Release Agents: Reduces microbubbles for a flawless finish.
• Compatibility: Designed for use with ASTC pigments and metallic powder packs.
• Versatility: Suitable for industrial, commercial, and decorative applications.

Advantages

• High build and excellent color stability.
• Resistant to most tire stains (plasticizer migration).
• Exceptional abrasion and chemical resistance.
• Clear cross-linking finish with a glass-like appearance.
• Increased flowability and air release for seamless application.
• Compatible with accelerators for faster curing.

Applications

The 6009 LV Metallic Epoxy is suitable for:

• Decorative Floor Finishes: Industrial, commercial, and residential floors.
• Interior Applications: Non-UV-stable environments.
• Specialty Coatings: Clear topcoats for color chips, quartz, and metallic designs.
• Industrial Floors: Warehouses, containment areas, and pedestrian walkways.

Preparation

1. Concrete Cure: Ensure a minimum 28-day cure period.
2. Surface Cleaning: Remove contaminants, oils, wax, and old coatings.
3. Moisture Testing: Conduct a moisture vapor test to ensure substrate compatibility.
4. Surface Profiling: Abrade to a rough profile of at least 2 mils.
5. Crack and Void Repair: Seal and repair imperfections using ASTC-approved materials.

Priming and Moisture Vapor Reduction

• Compatible with 6000 Series Epoxy Primers, 70001 Pen Prime, and 8000 CMW.
• For higher moisture vapor transmission (up to 18 psi), use the 6007 Nova Bar Epoxy Primer.

Mixing and Pigmentation

1. Mixing:
   • Use a jiffy mixer with a 450 rpm drill motor.
   • Mix components A and B for 2–3 minutes, avoiding air entrapment.
   • Transfer to a clean container and remix before application.
2. Pigmentation:
   • Use 12–14 ounces of pigment per mixed gallon.
   • For metallic powders, pre-mix into the B component 24 hours before use.

Application Guidelines

• Temperature Range: 35°F to 125°F.
• Film Thickness: Apply in films of 8–16 mils per coat.
• Recoat Timing: Apply a second coat as soon as the first is walkable (8–10 hours).

General Physical Characteristics

Chemical Resistance Chart

Key:

• Positive Result (No Effect)

• Negative Result (Slight Effect)

Environmental Considerations

• Cold Temperatures: Slower curing below 50°F; use accelerators for improved performance.
• Hot Temperatures: Faster curing above 85°F; mix smaller batches to prevent premature setting.

Limitations

• Avoid application on wet surfaces or standing water.
• Store product on wood pallets in a dry, room-temperature environment.
• For professional use only. Refer to the MSDS before application.
