Lining-Kote Specs and Uses

Uses:

• Ultimate corrosion protection against constant exposure to most solvents, acids, bases, and other corrosive chemicals
• Specifically designed for interior use. Use for indoor metal surfaces that are exposed to constant water pooling or chemical splash and containment
• Flooring corrosion protection, as Lining-Kote is tough enough to withstand traffic
• On concrete and steel whey tanks on hog farms to protect tanks from deterioration and wear

Application

Although Lining-Kote can be applied by non-professionals, SPI recommends using a SPI certified applicator.

Preparation:

• Surface must be clean and completely dry, with no loose debris or particles, rust, dirt, oil, films or residues of any kind. Lining-Kote will cover previous coatings if they are fully adhered to the surface
• Mechanically stir base
• Mix curing agent into base and let sit for 30 minutes before applying

Application methods:

• Airless or pot sprayed: tip size .017-.019
• Roller or brush
• Add an additional coat for vertical surfaces

Applied rate:

• 130 sq. ft./gal. (12.3 sq.m./gal.)
• Applied to two or three coat thicknesses according to use

Film thickness:

• Wet: 6 mils (150 microns)
• Dry: 3 mils (75 microns)

Temperature:

• 32 degrees F (0 degrees C) – 100 degrees F (38 degrees C)
• Colder temperatures will increase dry time

Dry times:

• 4 hours to touch
• Minimum 12 hours to recoat

Full cure:

• 60 days at 70 degrees F (20 degrees C) before submerging in acid or chemical solutions
• if non acid or strong solutions, 7 day cure can be allowed

Precautions:

• 1.5 hour pot life

Limitations:

• As with any epoxy, Lining-Kote will chalk and lose gloss when exposed to UV rays
• Do not use directly on food preparation surfaces
• Do not apply over chlorinated rubber. Even after sandblasting, the chlorination can attack the solvents and brittle the coating
