Trawlerdeck

Description

A heavy duty screed system for marine and offshore applications.

This solvent-free epoxy resin deck screed is supplied in 3 components. Its excellent impact and abrasion resistance makes it ideal for use as a top deck finish on working boats. 

It has good adhesion to properly prepared substrates, is impervious to water and has a degree of flexibility to allow for movement of the substrate.

Application

Ambient temperature should be between 10^oC and 30^oC during application and cure. Dry weather conditions and a dry substrate are essential.

Preparation of Substrate

STEEL

• Remove all rust, mill scale and surface contamination by grit blasting and other mechanical means to a bright rust free surface (SA2½).
• Remove oil and grease contamination with suitable cleaning fluid / degreasant and flush the residue off with water. 
• Allow to dry thoroughly.

PRIMING

To avoid flash rusting of prepared surfaces, it may be necessary to apply a holding primer. This must be compatible with MP Primer.

Coat with an application of Resitech MP Primer. The primer is supplied in pre-weighed packages. It is essential that all of the curing agent, Pack A, is added to all of the resin component, Pack B, and that it is then mixed thoroughly for 60 seconds with a mechanical paint stirrer.

When fully mixed, the primer should be applied immediately to the prepared substrate by brush or roller.

The coverage rate of the primer is dependent upon the texture and porosity of the substrate, but should fall in the range of 4-6m²/litre.

Laying

Trawlerdeck is a 3 component system which is supplied in pre-weighed packages. It is essential that all of the curing agent, pack A, is added to all of the resin component, pack B, and mixed thoroughly in a forced action mixing vessel (examples include pennine, daines, mixal, etc.) for about 3 minutes. The graded filler component, pack C, is then gradually added whilst mixing continues for an additional three minutes.

The fully blended system is applied in one application, at the specified thickness, onto the wet primer by a steel trowel in order to obtain a tight, uniform surface appearance.

Note: repriming will be necessary if the primer is allowed to dry.

Coverage/Cure Rate

A 29.5kg unit of Trawlerdeck will cover approximately 2.5m² at a thickness of 5mm.

Packaging

Supplied in 29.5 kg units and 3 components. Packaging is in 1litre and 5litre pots and 25kg bags.

Health and safety

Refer to separate safety data sheets for packs A, B & C.
