TegaBond™
CARBON STEEL RUST PREVENTATIVE

DESCRIPTION

Tega Bond™ CSRP (Carbon Steel Rust Preventive) is a single component, water base, corrosion proof coating. Chemical bonding between TegaBond™ CSRP and carbon steel eliminates air & moisture entrapment (the primary cause of coating failures). A single coat is sufficient for most applications. TegaBond™ CSRP has less than 1.2 lbs VOC per gallon, far less than any current proposed standards.

Carefully selected monomers provide excellent surface resistance to corrosion from atmospheric acids and salts, as well as abrasion, and impact damage. (See Test Results below) TegaBond™ CSRP is a superior undercoat for any commercially available topcoat (epoxy or urethane intermediates, etc.).

TegaBond™ CSRP is superior to galvanizing and epoxy/vinyl coatings for all steel construction applications, such as beams, plates, railings, guard rails, rebar, fasteners, ornamental iron, etc.

TegaBond™ CSRP coated surfaces can be cut or welded in the field, and then "touched up" by brush.

SURFACE PREPARATION

Carbon steel surfaces should be free of scale, oil, grease, dirt and any foreign matter. Tightly bonded rust need not be removed. SSPC – SP 1, SP 2, SP 3, are usually adequate.

APPLICATION & STORAGE

Preparation:
TegaBond™ CSRP should always be stirred slowly, (not shaken) before use.

Application:
Brush, spray, roll, or dip to apply. Recommended Dry Film Thickness (DFT) is 0.0005” to 0.0015”. Optimum substrate temperatures are from 60˚ F to 95˚ F. Coating will be dry to the touch in 30 minutes at 70˚ F, 65% relative humidity. Curing occurs in 6-8 hours. Substrate temperature should not be less than 45˚ F. For “high speed” coating of coils, rebar, etc., forced air at 325˚ F will cure TegaBond™ CSRP in ten minutes.

Coverage:
Varies from 600 sq. ft to 750 sq. ft. /gal. depending on application process.

Cleanup:
Water.

Storage:
From 45˚ F to 95˚ F. Seal partially used containers “air-tight”, stir thoroughly before using again (see above).
