2 Equipment Specifications / continued... Ceramic Cover CC Systems 100 is a single component, high solids insulation coating designed for application by standard high pressure airless coating equipment. Ceramic sphere separation utilizing ASTM Designation D-185 (no.325 sieve) microscopic examination and photomicrographs (30x magnification) was done to evaluate possible Ceramic sphere damage after spraying. The results indicated absolutely NO DAMAGE to the spheres in Ceramic Cover CC Systems 100 when applied by high pressure spray. Ceramic Cover CC Systems 100 can also be applied by brush or roll; however, inconsistency becomes a problem due to the light weight of the material. Airless Coating Pump The Ceramic Cover CC Systems 100 requires a single component high pressure airless coating pump, capable of maintaining 3500 psi fluid pressure at the gun 30:1 ratio pump is acceptable. It is imperative to remove all inline filters from the pump and gun. 3/8 npt(m) Fluid Outlet Remove Fluid Hose The high pressure fluid hose should be a nylon lined rated for the maximum pump pressure. For hose lengths up to a total of 200 feet, the first 150 feet of hose from the pump should be 3/8 inch I.D. and the last 50 feet, to the gun should be 1/2 inch O.D.. These combinations are necessary to minimize the pressure drop through the hose and maintain a consistent flow. Note Ceramic Cover CC Systems 100 is 85% granular solids. Spray Gun The gun should be an airless typed designed for use with viscous materials and pressure rated for the maximum system pressure. A reverse clean style tip with a 418 to 521 orifice and 60 to 80 degree fan angle should be used at time of spraying. For optimum spray atomization and application characteristics, the material in the pail should be maintained at a minimum of 50 degrees F. Application should not be installed in temperatures below 32 degrees F unless surface temperature of substrate exceeds 100 degrees F. Product must be protected from freezing. Should this occur the product will be rendered useless. 2

3 1. Instructions on Pump Preparation a. Remove any product initially sprayed through the system (i.e. solvents) b. Remove all filters from the pump and contractors gun. c. Set the ball within the pump in the up position if using pump older than 5 years. d. Required CFM minimum is 100 contractor gun. There should always be a minimum of 90 lbs/airless contractor gun/2200 psi minimum spray. e. Review O.D. and I.D. of hoses at different lengths. f. Review tip sizes in Manual. g. We suggest you experiment with pot gun application (need Graco Spray) (bottom feed pot w/pressure plate). 2. Mixing Instructions a. Mix product 2 to 3 minutes to accomplish a homogenous liquid combining the solids with the liquids. b. Remove solids from the sides of the container w/ paint stick and mix thoroughly again! c. Discuss cautions of over mixing or the importance of using the helix type paddle to avoid damaging the Ceramics (i.e. leave product to dry on the paddle for added protection during mixing). d. Remix the product if unused after 30 minutes. Discuss separation due to light weight solids. e. General Rule: To reduce entrapment of moisture and maintain consistency of solids. Apply Ceramic Cover CC Systems 100 as follows: wet mils150 degrees F to 250 degrees F *10-14 wet mils 250 degrees F to 350 degrees F Large surface areas (tanks) (all areas i.e. dryers, etc.) 20 to 24 wet mils 160 degrees F to 300 degrees F f. When applying Ceramic Cover CC Systems ambient temperatures reference acrylic paint standards for drying time. Demonstration was provided of brushing Ceramic Cover CC Systems 100 or on ambient substrates and hot substrates. Examples of differences in drying time. g. Apply Ceramic Cover CC Systems 100 by brushing on hot surface temperatures to demonstrate: the separation of solids from liquids; how to reduce surface temperature in order to apply consistent smooth coats for esthetic purposes; and how to avoid caking or solids build-up on hot surfaces. h. Rolling application with Ceramic Cover CC Systems 100 to demonstrate difficulty of rolling and using thinner additives such as water or (penethol or solax). Remember: Additives may effect the insulation properties and adding water is adding chlorides! i. Adding colorant to tint Ceramic Cover CC Systems 100 to colors of owner s choice. Reference products for top coating over Ceramic Cover CC Systems 100 that have expansion and contraction properties, i.e. mastic epoxies. Type of colorant to use (Glycol base). Discuss color absorption. Amount to use? General rule: Buy color desired not color to mix, (i.e. Do not add red & yellow to make orange. Buy orange). j. Color can be discontinued until the next day then reapplied without obvious color seams due to the percentage of solid content in Ceramic Cover CC Systems 100. * Call Envirotrol Inc. for technical assistance when application is in excess if 350 degrees F. 3

4 continued Surface Preparation a. Surface preparation is a clean, dry surface removing all loose rust, debris, oil, grease or mil scale. b. If you do an SSPC-SPI (solvent cleaning) for surface preparation use alcohol based solvents due to drying time. Do not use oil based solvents, i.e. mineral spirits, xylene due to oil residue. 4. Application a. Surface temperature must be read and milage to be determined by using the Delta T Chart in the Manual for estimating the correct amounts of milage required. b. Apply a coat of Ceramic Cover CC Systems 12 wet mils wet mil gauge every lineal inches. Discuss the problems of checking mils with wet mil gauge in quick dry times. c. The proper spray technique regarding fan spray (keep wrist and gun straight 12 inches from the substrate). The amount of passes versus tip size and pipe size ( x pipe size diameter then divided by tip fan size) i.e., 5 passes on a substrate or cylinder 360 degrees circumference per 12 mil application. d. Take surface temperature readings after each 20 mil coat. Remember the saturation effect may cause high temperature reading. Use the correct type thermal coupling. (i.e. laser heat guns will not provide the correct surface temperature measurements). Remember! Coated surface temperatures will increase if heat source is not reduced, i.e. energy savings. 4

5 Application for Ambient Temperatures The C.C.-100 heat conductivity seems is a variable. We notice that for each completed cured coating the surface layer and the layer contacted the base material are much denser than the rest of C. C There is a thin film effect between each completed cured coating and between C.C.-100 and base material. This thin film conductance combined with the conventional heat conductivity provide the superior heat insulation property. The proper installation should always spread only 12 wet mil (0.012 in. /0.3 mm), 10 dry mil (0.0l in./ mm). Wait until completely dry, then apply the next coating. Because the variable temperature and humidity the drying time is also a variable. One can determine whether the coating is completely dried by using the thumb test. Thumb Test: Press your thumb on the supposedly dried coating surface firmly. Then turn your thumb 90 degrees, if the surface wrinkles it is not yet completely dry.

Solvent (Xylol, Xylene, MEK) are used to remove Ceramic Cover CC Systems 100 from tools or substrates where overspray is undesirable. b. To remove Ceramic Cover CC Systems 100, use soap and water or type of solvent. c. Dry fall over 7 feet can be swept up with a broom. d. Use water to thoroughly clean pump. Product left in pump must be under pressure to be reused. Mix the remaining product in the container. When using thinner: Clean pump-make sure all thinner is removed before using Ceramic Cover CC Systems 100. Remember! Solvents are our enemy. 6. Storage Ceramic Cover CC Systems 100 should be stored in a cool dry area where ambient temperatures do not reach below freezing or in direct sunlight. 6
