W-80 Epoxy Pigmented Coating
W-80 consists of a pigmented, high viscosity, nonylphenol-free, epoxy resin and a thickened, cycloaliphatic amine reactant.
Overview
W-80 consists of a pigmented, high viscosity, nonylphenol-free, epoxy resin and a thickened, cycloaliphatic amine reactant. This combination achieves a rheology that makes it easy to spread but also fast to return to its resting state.
Uses and Benefits
W-80 is most often used to coat vertical substrates that require a high-build, high-performance, material that will not run or sag. It can also be used as a 1-coat line striping material, pigmented grout coat on aggregate-filled mortar and coving and as a base and saturant coat for imbedding fiberglass and carbon-fiber sheeting.
Limitations
W-80 is designed to be applied between 8-20 mils depending on the porosity of substrate. Ideal application temperatures to be between 60-90°F. Cooler temperatures will increase cure times. Warmer temperatures will decrease working and cure times. Verify that substrate temperature is above 5 degrees of dewpoint during application and cure of material to avoid a potential amine blush.
Preparation
The preparation method for each project is determined by a full understanding of the substrate to be coated, the chemistry of the coating system being used, the coating system thickness, and numerous other factors. The coating installer should fully read and understand ICRI Guideline NO. 310.2R-2013 and OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1153 before starting preparatory work. The aim, of preparing a substrate for coating applications, is to roughen the surface, remove weak layers, contaminants, dirt, debris and present a solid, clean, dry substrate for the primer.

Mixing & Application
It is always recommended to mix the entire kit, whenever possible, to avoid off-ratio mixtures. Mix ratio is 2 parts W-80 Part A to 1 part W-80 Part B. Combine all of part A and B into a single container, large enough to accept the entire kit. Mix at 350 RPM for 2-3 minutes using an appropriate mixing blade. Make sure to scrape any unmixed material off the sides of the mix vessel. Take care not to introduce excessive air during mixing.
Disposal: Dispose of material, containers, solvents, etc., per Federal, State and local guidelines, rules and laws.
