Surface Preparation

The surface preparation recommended for VINYL-SHIELD™ 7342 is to include removal of all oil, grease, dirt, dust, mill scale, rust, paint, oxide, corrosion product, and other foreign matters. This can be accomplished with hydroblasting, grit sweeping and with a variety of mechanical descaling tools. For steel, the minimum standard is Steel Structures Painting Council Standard SSPC-SP6.The recommended surface preparation is SSPC-SP-10. For galvanized steel and aluminum, the minimum standard is SSPC-SP-1 (solvent cleaning).

Mixing and Thinning

VINYL-SHIELD™ 7342, is a two component product supplied in a 1 US gallon kit which contains the proper ratio of ingredients. The entire content of each container must be mixed together. Power mix the base portion first to obtain a smooth, homogeneous product.

After mixing the base portion (VINYL-SHIELD™ 7342 "Part A") for a 5 to 10 minutes, making sure pigment is fully incorporated slowly add component "B" (acid catalyst Vinyl-Shield™ GS 7343C) with continued agitation. After the component "B" add is complete, continue to mix slowly until both components are thoroughly mixed.

Thinning is not required. The pot life of the mixd material is 6 hours at 77ºF (25ºC). Higher temperatures will reduce the pot life of the product; lower temperatures will increase it.

Application Conditions

Industry standards are for the substrate temperatures to be above 10º C of the dew point. Condensation due to substrate temperatures below the dew point can cause fl ash rusting on prepared steel and interfere with proper adhesion to the substrate. Special application techniques may be required above or below normal application conditions.

Curing Schedule

These times are based on a 2.0-3.0 mil (50-75 micron) dry film thickness. Higher film thickness, insufficient ventilation or cooler temperatures will require longer cure times and could result in solvent entrapment and premature failure of the film. Consult technical services for recommendations and test results. If the maximum recoat time has been exceeded, the surface must be sanded or prepared with a brush off blast SSPC-SP-7 prior to the application of additional coats. Vinyl-Shield™ 7342 applied below 40ºF (4ºC) may temporarily soften for several hours, after temperatures rise to 60ºF (16ºC). This is a normal condition and will not influence performance.

Dry to touch	15 minutes
To recoat	30 minutes (max. 8 hours)
Hard	N/A
