Speed Coat-49        - Marine Coating – Faster Boat -

APPLICATION GUIDE AND TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Meets EPA, USDA, And FDA 21 CFR 175.300 Requirements

Surface Preparation

Speed Coat-49 is a silicone-epoxy polish having unique release properties while adhering to a broad range of substrates including wood, concrete, fiberglass, metals, and most plastics including epoxies, polyurethanes, and alykds.

Mixing Instructions

Before mixing, shake or stir each component until homogenous. To 11 parts of the A component, mix in 2 parts of the B component. NO INDUCTION PERIOD NECESSARY . . . Apply immediately.

Thinning and Clean up

It is not necessary to dilute Speed Coat-49. Clean up by using soap and water while Speed Coat-49 is in an uncured state. For best results clean all equipment as soon as the application is complete. After the material has cured you will need to use solvents to remove Speed Coat-49.

Application and Recoating

For friction reduction and improved speed, apply freshly catalyzed Speed Coat (as you would a wax or a polish) over a boat bottom or Super F-1M surface. Apply the least amount of coating to form a continuous film. Apply in a circular polishing motion using a soft cloth. For boats, Speed Coat should be applied to a dry surface. Products can be put back into service immediately, however for best results, allow at least a 24 hour to 1 week cure at room temperature. Heat such as that obtained with a heat gun will accelerate cure. Unlike waxes and silicones, Speed Coat forms a dry, durable finish. A light polish coating may require periodic refreshing with a subsequent application of Speed Coat to maintain its superior performance. Improved speed and abrasion through water has also been obtained by applying a thicker rougher coat of Speed Coat-49 using a 3/8” nap roller. Speed Coat should not be sanded or abraded or cleaned with strong abrasives, chemicals, or detergents. A light massage with plain water is adequate to remove any fouling. For subsequent recoating the Speed Coat-49 can be sanded and wiped down with Acetone.

Shelf Life: 1 Year
Storage: DO NOT FREEZE.

CAUTION:

1. Speed Coat-49 surfaces have a low coefficient of friction and therefore tend to be slippery.

2. Speed Coat-49 is not recommended as a material to prevent barnacle attachment, but will assist in the ease of removing these attachments.

3. Speed Coat-49 behaves like a permanent wax coating and, therefore, will not play a role in any potential osmosis problems.

4. After prolonged contact with direct sunlight, Speed Coat-49 may have a tendency to fade slightly towards the yellow side.

Always purchase pigmented Speed Coat-49 preferably dark colors to reduce the yellowing appearance.
