Carbonamine Bell Metal
Rapid Cure, Modified Polyurea Pigmented Coating.
Carbonamine Bell Metal is a rapid curing, two pack modified polyurea coating that is available in a range of colours. It has a long pot life but quickly cures to a hard, but slightly flexible surface that is extremely abrasion resistant.
Its long pot life and quick cure allows two coats to be applied to small areas from a single mix. This attribute saves time and material.
It is ideal for use on floors, ships decks and in other high wear situations where rapid return to service is required.
Floors can be prepared, several coats of Carbonamine Bell Metal applied and the premises returned to service within six hours. Substrates must be prepared and primed correctly. Steel and other ferrous metals should be primed with Armourguard ST while concrete, timber and most other substrates can be primed with Carbonamine Rapid Prime.
Carbonamine Bell Metal can be applied by brush, roller or by airless spray.
Type: Two pack, solvent free modified polyurea coating
Cure System: Part moisture cure
Mix Ratio: See label on tin
Hardener: HDI pre-polymer blend, contains less than 0.1% free monomer
Resin Density: 1.4
Coverage: 5-7 m2/litre, depending on surface texture and porosity
Minimum over-coating time: 30 – 45 minutes
Solvent: Synsol PU
Colours: Most RAL colours available, depending on quantity required.
Pack Sizes: 5 , 10 and 25 kilos
Pot Life: up to two hours
Shelf life and Storage: 6-12 months in original, unopened container. Store in cool and dry conditions
Preparation: Concrete substrates should preferably be diamond
ground or blasted but if this is not possible the surface must be clean and free of loose material, laitance, oil, grease etc. Then primed with Xymertol Rapid Prime.
Mixing: Add all of the hardener to the tin of resin and mix slowly for several minutes preferably using a flat mixing blade in a drill. Try not to mix air in with the resin as this will reduce pot life. If you require a smaller quantity or
are unable to use all of the material within its pot life, weigh out resin and hardener in the proportions specified on the label using digital scales.
Application: Can be applied by brush, roller or airless spray. A thin coat should be applied ensuring that the material is worked well into pin holes and imperfections so that 100% of the surface has been covered. Avoid leaving excess material to form thick areas as foaming may occur. On some porous substrates a second coat may be required to completely seal all porosity.
