1. Steel: For best results, sand blast to a SSPC-SP6 “commercial” blast finish. Where blasting is not appropriate, remove all loose rust and mill scale by power wire brushing or hand tool cleaning. A tightly adherent rusty surface is acceptable when treated with VSC Rust Converter. 2. Galvanized Steel: a. New - Brush blast per SSPC-SP7. b. Old, Weathered, or Rusty - Remove all oil, grease, dirt, and other foreign matter. Surface should be reasonably clean, dry, and free of contaminants. Remove all loose rust, etc., as outlined above under steel. Treat with VANTEK RUST STOP prior to coating for best control of sub-surface rust. 3. Previously Painted Surfaces: Remove all loose, peeling, or blistered paint, and any other surface contaminants. Make sure the surface is sound and dry. Lightly abrade all smooth coatings.

Limited Warranty ALUMA KOTE is flammable. Keep away from all sources of ignition during mixing application and cure. Contains aromatic polyisocynates. Proper ventilation is necessary when painting indoors or confined areas. Vapors and spray mist may cause eye/skin irritation as well as allergic reactions. Always wear protective clothing, goggles, impervious groves and use NIOSH approved respirators. For industrial use only. Keep out of reach of children. This product is sold without warranty as to performance expressed or implied. Users are urged to make their own tests to determine the suitability for their particular conditions. SEE SAFETY DATA SHEET FOR FULL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. FOR INDUSTRIAL USE ONLY ALUMA-KOTE IS FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN Surface Preparation VANTEK Concrete Restoration and Protection Vantek Aluma Kote Clean up immediately with N1 SOLVENT or XYLOL. Remove from skin while still wet. Scrub skin with soap and detergent. Clean Up First Aid Empty containers may contain product residue, including flammable or combustible vapors. Do not cut, puncture or weld near these containers. Label warnings must be observed until containers have been commercially cleaned or reconditioned. Containers to be thrown out must be disposed in accordance with federal, state and local regulations. Use only licensed hazardous waste disposal companies. Disposal 1. Do not apply over frost, wet, or damp surfaces or extremely high humidity conditions. 2. Not recommended as tank lining for constant immersion. 3. Must be recoated within 24 hours. 4. Partially used containers must be reclosed tightly to prevent moisture in air from reacting with material and forming a tough skin. Skin can be removed and remaining material used. Be sure to stir. Limitations ALUMA KOTE is made ready for use by stirring so that the aluminum pigment is thoroughly dispersed in the resin and a uniform “silver” color is achieved. When used over a period of time, stir occasionally to maintain uniform mix. Thinning is not usually necessary. Note: Always wear protective gloves and clothing while mixing and applying ALUMA KOTE. Do not get on skin. ALUMA KOTE is difficult to remove. Mixing ALUMA KOTE may be applied by brush, roll, or spray. Roller cover should have a phenolic core and brushes should be natural bristles. For spray, flushes with a solvent (N1 Solvent or Xylol) every 1-2 hours during use to keep lines clean from material build up. Required equipment is as follows: 1. Airless Spray - Use a minimum 20:1 ratio pump with 80-100 psi inbound air. Recommend a .013” - .017:” tip. Adjust pressure for proper atomization based on selected tip. 2. Convention Spray - Use a dual regulated pot with 15-25 psi fluid pressure and 40-50 psi atomization pressure. A Binks #18 with a 704E tip/air cap is recommended. When spraying, use a 50% overlapping crosshatch pattern to minimize the occurrence of pinholes. Do not apply to surfaces below 18°F (-8°C) or above 140°F (60°C). Do not apply over dew or frost. The surface should be dry and at least 5°F (-15°C) above the dew point. Application Based on temperature of 75°F (24°C) and 50% R.H. (relative humidity), ALUMA KOTE is tack free in 1-3 hours and may be over-coated in 1-4 hours. Always check for fingernail hardness. For maximum adhesion, recoat the same day, but no longer than 16-24 hours at 75°F (24°C) and 50% R.H. High temperatures and humidity will shorten recoat time.
