Protective & Marine Coatings General POlymers 3552 EPO-FLEX Flexible Epoxy Membrane Part A GP3552 Series Part B GP3552B01 Hardener Revised September 23, 2014 Product Information Application APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. Premix 3552A (resin) using a low speed drill and Jiffy blade. Mix for one minute and until uniform, exercising caution not to whip air into the material. 2. Add 1 part 3552A (resin) to 1 part 3552B (hardener) by volume. Mix with low speed drill and Jiffy blade for three minutes and until uniform. 3552 is a viscous material and requires complete mixing to cross link properly, match the mix blade to the volume of material to insure a full mix and always mix for a minimum of 3 minutes". 3. Immediately pour the mixed material onto the substrate and pull out using a 1/8 v-notched squeegee to yield 20 mils WFT. Readings must be taken continuously during application with a wet mil gauge to verify material is being applied at the proper thickness. Allow to cure overnight at 73ºF (23ºC) surface temperature. Material cures slower at lower temperatures. NOTE: Epoxy materials may tend to blush at the surface especially in humid environments. After surface is primed and before installation of each subsequent coat, surface must be examined for blush (a whitish greasy film and/or low gloss). The blush must be completely removed prior to recoating using warm detergent water or through solvent wipe. Epoxy materials will appear to be cured and dry to touch prior to full chemical cross linking. Allow epoxy to cure 2-3 days prior to exposure to water or other chemicals for best performance. Cleanup Clean up mixing and application equipment immediately after use. Use toluene or xylene. Observe all fire and health precautions when handling or storing solvents. Safety Refer to the MSDS sheet before use. Published technical data and instructions are subject to change without notice.
