PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

SETFAST LOW VOC ACRYLIC TRAFFIC MARKING PAINT is a conventional dry (non-heat applied) acetone based paint. Acetone, as the main solvent, has Exempt Status under Federal law and does not contribute harmful VOC’s.

This is 100% acrylic, which offers the following outstanding properties:

• Faster dry and hardness development.

• Performance similar to SetFast Chlorinated Rubber Traffi c Paint

• Dirt resistant

PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS

Finish: Flat

Color: White, LF Yellow

Volume Solids: 47%, minimum

Weight Solids: 70%, minimum

VOC (EPA Method 24): <100 g/L; <0.83 lb/gal

Recommended Spreading Rate per coat:

Approximately 320 lineal feet of standard 4" stripe per gallon

Minimum Maximum Wet mils (microns) 15.0 375 Dry mils (microns) 7.5 188 ~Coverage sq ft/gal (m2/L) 110 2.7 Theoretical coverage sq ft/gal (m2/L) @ 1 mil / 25 microns dft 752 18.4

NOTE: Brush or roll application for small areas only.

If the asphalt is insuffi ciently cured, applying a thin coat (approximately 1/2 the recommended dft) generally reduces the extent of lifting and cracking.

@ 77°F/25°C

50% RH

To touch: 5 minutes No traffi c pickup after: 5 minutes Drying time is temperature, humidity, and fi lm thickness dependent.

Shelf Life: 12 months, unopened Store indoors at 40°F (4.5°C) to 100°F (38°C)

Flash Point: 1°F (-17°C), PMCC Reducer: Not recommended Clean Up: Acetone, R6K9 continued on back

Federal EPA has added acetone to the list of solvents exempt from the VOC defi nition. State or local laws may incorporate the federal defi nitions, or may use their own, and may take precedence over the federal rules. Acetone may or may not be an exempt solvent where state or local regulations are in effect. Consult with your local Sherwin-Williams representative for additional information.

SURFACE PREPARATIONS

Surface must be clean, dry, and in sound condition. Remove all oil, dust, grease, dirt, loose rust, and other foreign material to ensure adequate adhesion.

Surfaces should be clean, dry and free from loose or peeling paint.

Do not apply when air or surface temperatures are below 40°F (4.5°C), or when the relative humidity exceeds 85%, or when the temperature falls below the dew point.

The presence of concrete sealers or effl orescence of new concrete may interfere with adhesion, and should be removed by extended weathering, etching, or abrasive blasting.

Most previously painted lines may be repainted without additional surface preparation, provided the old paint is tightly adhered to the surface. However, multiple layers of paint will eventually peel and will require removal.

New asphalt surfaces should ideally be allowed to age several months before striping. Solvent based paints may cause bleeding through the paint. Placing an inconspicuous test stripe to determine if the asphalt has aged suffi ciently to use solvent paint is recom-mended. If it is necessary to paint a fresh asphalt surface, use a latex striping paint following the recommended procedures.

APPLICATION BULLETIN

APPLICATION CONDITIONS

Temperature: 40°F (4.5°C) minimum, 90°F (32°C) maximum (air, surface, and material) At least 5°F (2.8°C) above dew point

Relative humidity: 85% maximum

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT

The following is a guide. Changes in pressures and tip sizes may be needed for proper spray characteristics. Always purge spray equipment before use with listed reducer. Any reduction must be compliant with existing VOC regulations and compatible with the existing environmental and application conditions.

Reducer ...........................Not recommended

Clean Up: .........................Acetone, R6K9

Airless Spray Line Striping Equipment Pressure.........................1500-2000 psi Hose...............................3/8" ID Tip ...................................015" - .019" Filter ...............................60 mesh

Conventional Spray Typical fl uid tip size is about 0.1" orifi ce, with a matching fan cap designed for striping application. Working pressures will vary with ambient temperatures. The correct pressure is the lowest pot and atomizing pressure that produces a fl at line of the correct thickness.

Heated air atomized spray may also be used, allowing improved sprayability but not necessarily dry time. Quick drying application can be expected at ambient temperatures within recommended range.

Brush, small areas only Brush..............................Nylon/Polyester Natural Bristle

Roller, small areas only Cover .............................3/8" woven with solvent resistant core

NOTE: Fluid and atomization pressures are dependent on environ-mental conditions. Use the lowest pressures necessary to achieve a "fl at line".

If the striping machine is also used for water based paint, care must be taken to avoid solvent contamination.

If specifi c application equipment is not listed above, equivalent equipment may be substituted.

APPLICATION BULLETIN

APPLICATION PROCEDURES

Surface preparation must be completed as indicated.

Mixing Instructions: Mix paint thoroughly to a uniform consistency with low speed power agitation prior to use.

Apply paint at the recommended fi lm thickness and spreading rate as indicated below:

Recommended Spreading Rate per coat:

Approximately 320 lineal feet of standard 4" stripe per gallon

Minimum Maximum Wet mils (microns) 15.0 375 Dry mils (microns) 7.5 188 ~Coverage sq ft/gal (m2/L) 110 2.7 Theoretical coverage sq ft/gal (m2/L) @ 1 mil / 25 microns dft 752 18.4

NOTE: Brush or roll application for small areas only.

If the asphalt is insuffi ciently cured, applying a thin coat (approximately 1/2 the recommended dft) generally reduces the extent of lifting and cracking.

Drying Schedule @ 15.0 mils wet (375 microns):

@ 77°F/25°C

50% RH

To touch: 5 minutes No traffi c pickup after: 5 minutes Drying time is temperature, humidity, and fi lm thickness dependent.

Application of coating above maximum or below minimum recommended spreading rate may adversely affect coating performance.

CLEAN UP INSTRUCTIONS

Clean spills and spatters immediately with Acetone, R6K9. Clean tools immediately after use with Acetone, R6K9. Follow manufac-turer's safety recommendations when using any solvent.

DISCLAIMER

The information and recommendations set forth in this Product Data Sheet are based upon tests conducted by or on behalf of The Sherwin-Williams Company.

Such information and recommendations set forth herein are subject to change and pertain to the product offered at the time of publication. Consult your Sherwin- Williams representative to obtain the most recent Product Data Information and Application Bulletin.

PERFORMANCE TIPS

Spreading rates are calculated on volume solids and do not include an application loss factor due to surface profi le, roughness or po-rosity of the surface, skill and technique of the applicator, method of application, various surface irregularities, material lost during mixing, spillage, overthinning, climatic conditions, and excessive fi lm build.

No reduction of material is recommended as it can affect fi lm build, appearance, and adhesion.

In order to avoid blockage of spray equipment, clean equipment before use or before periods of extended downtime with Acetone, R6K9.

Asphalt surfaces generally require aging prior to painting.

If the asphalt is insuffi ciently cured, applying a thin coat (approxi-mately 1/2 the recommended dft) generally reduces the extent of lifting and cracking.

Check adhesion by applying a test strip to determine the readiness for painting.

The coating may be made into refl ective paint by dropping on glass beads while the paint is still wet.

Painted surfaces can become slippery when wet. Zone Marking paints are not intended for use as fl oor paints, and should not be used to paint large areas subject to pedestrian traffi c. For instance, painting an entire traffi c stall is not recommended.

Do not paint on wet surfaces.

Do not paint when the relative humidity is above 85%.

Do not paint when the temperature is below 40°F (4.5°C).

Cool, damp conditions will prolong the drying time.

Refer to Product Information sheet for additional performance characteristics and properties.
