TEC BEAT ZR
TEC BEAT ZR
REINFORCEMENT COATING-EPOXY ZINC RICH
KEY BENEFITS AND FEATURES
- The corrosion protection mechanism of TecR Beat ZR is an electrochemical process ensuring assured protection to the immediate substrate.
- The presence of 80% active zinc content close to the substrate ensures optimal galvanic protection to steel.
- The coating system bonds excellently to the substrate and exhibits exceptional chemical resistance.
- An idea base coat for high performance top coats.
- A must use product for exposed reinforcement in spalled concrete repair.
- Actively resists corrosion within the boundaries of the repair location and prevents the generation of incipient anodes in immediately adjoining areas.
- Excellent compatibility with Techny's repair system like TecR Mortar X (Fibre reinforced repair R mortar) TecR Grout MC (Fluid Microconcrete)
- Bonds exceptionally to cementitous repair mortars.
- Comes in two pre-weighted containers easy to mix and apply.
- Can be applied rapidly over coating can be carried out in one hour's time.
USAGE
- Ideal reinforcement coating system in concrete repairs.
- Useful priming system for marine and offshore structures.
- The active galvanic protection property ensures adequate protection in humid, coastal conditions.
- Ideal for use in highly corrosive industrial environments.
- Typical applications include use in structural steel, pipes, bridges and barges.
- Other applications include use in water treatment plants, chemical plants, fertilizer units, process industry and cooling water.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Surface Preparation
Proper surface preparation is the key to any successful Epoxy application. The surface to be coated should be free of dust, laitance, oils or other contaminants. Corroded steel should be free of scales and corrosion deposits. Steel should be cleaned to a bright color before application. Ideally Grit Blasting would be advised. In case corrosion has occurred due to the presence of chlorides high pressure water washing is recommended immediately after grit blasting.
Mixing
TecR Beat ZR is a two component system. For consistent results mix the entire contents of Part-B Hardner to Part A Base and mix gently for about 3 minutes preferably with a slow speed drill fitted with a stainless steel mixing paddle. The resulting homogenous mix must be of a uniform grey shade. Care should be taken to maintain a clean environment in the mixing area to ensure that the mix is free of any contamination. Ease out air bubbles in the mix before application. Do not thin.
Application
Application of TecR Beat ZR must commence within 3 hours of surface preparation for best results. The mix should then be applied over the prepared surface quickly ensuring that the entire mix is used up well within the pot of life. The application should be done by brush ensuring an unbroken coat. A second coat of TecR Beat ZR is recommended to ensure a break free film. The second coat should be applied when the first coat is tack free dry (usually in about 1 hour). Avoid application at temperatures above 35°c or below 15°c.
Post Application : The primed surfaces should not be left exposed to the ambient conditions for longer than necessary before overcoating. Typically TecR Beat ZR will protect steel under clean interior exposed conditions for a period of several months. In moderate exterior conditions, a maximum interval of 14 days will be endured but in industrial and/or marine environments this interval should be reduced to the practical minimum. In concrete repair, application of the repair material should proceed immediately after the TecR Beat ZR coating is tack-free dry (usually about one hour).

PRECAUTIONS
In cases where application involves prolonged inhalation of solvent vapors, adequate ventilation should be ensured before commencing the application job. Direct contact with skin or eyes should be avoided. Use of gloves, goggles and other protective gear is mandatory. In case of accident eye contact thorough water washing is advised. This should be followed up with professional medical assistance. Neither the individual components nor the mix should be swallowed.
Storage and Shelf life
As TecR Beat ZR is moisture sensitive. Store it at dry conditions. Store under cover, out of direct sunlight and protect from extremes of temperature. Shelf life is 12 months when stored as above. Failure to comply with there commended storage conditions may result in premature deterioration of the product or packaging.
