AISC – specification for structural joints using ASTM A325 or A490 Bolts RCSC specification for
structural joints table 3 class B. Slip coefficient 0.59.
Uses and AMERCOAT 68HS is an organic zinc rich primer with excellent adhesion to prepared steel. The high
Properties zinc content of the dry film offers cathodic protection. The epoxy resin confers moisture and abrasion
resistance and ability to retain many heavy-duty topcoats. AMERCOAT 68HS primes steel in the field
or is used in the yard as an excellent primer for multi-coat systems. May be left for extended time
without topcoating in non-acidic conditions. AMERCOAT 68HS may be topcoated with a wide variety
of coatings, including epoxy, iso-free, polyurethane and PSX 700 engineered polysiloxane.

The figures quoted for pot life and drying / curing times are not definitive. They are dependent on site conditions,
such as volume of material mixed, ambient and steel temperatures, weather and ventilation.
Mixing Stir each component separately, then mix the Hardener into the Base and power mix
until uniform. Allow material to digest for 15 minutes before thinning and use. Only use
an air or explosion proof electric motor.
Mixing Ratio 4 Parts Base to 1 part Hardener by volume.
Thinners Thin up to 10% by volume using THINNER 737. Use THINNER 304 for clean up.
Equipment The following is a guide; suitable equipment from other manufacturers may be used.
Changes in pressure, hose and tip size may be needed for proper spray
characteristics.
Conventional Spray Industrial equipment such as DeVilbiss MBC or JGA. A moisture and oil trap in the
main air supply, mechanical pot agitator, separate regulators for air and fluid pressure
are recommended.
Airless Spray Standard equipment such as Graco Bulldog Hydra-Spray or larger with a 0.017-inch
tip with pre-orifice or fine finish tip.
Notes:
(1) Maintain slow agitation during application to ensure the material remains
uniformly blended.
(2) Typical DFT is 75 µm in one coat, however, DFT up to 150 µm in one coat is
acceptable. Do not exceed 175 µm in one coat as excess dry film thickness may
result in increased mechanical damage during handling or shipping.
(3) If AMERCOAT 68HS is not overcoated for some time, it is important that surface
be washed and scrubbed with a nylon brush prior to topcoating to remove
deposits and white rust.
Safety Precautions Always read the label and Material Safety Data Sheet before use. When applying by
brush or roller, provide adequate ventilation. When applying by spray, users must
comply with relevant spray painting regulations and wear appropriate respirator to
avoid inhaling vapours and spray mist.

Shelf life
1. Flush equipment with recommended thinner before use. Resin and cure ................ at least 12 months
2. Stir resin (in the larger container) to an even consistency
with a power mixer.
3. Add cure to resin solution and continue stirring for 5
minutes.
NOTE: Since the potlife is limited and shortened by high
temperatures, do not mix more material than will be
used in 3 hours at 20°C.
4. Thin only if necessary for workability, add up to 10% by
volume of thinner.
5. Apply a wet coat in even, parallel passes. Overlap each
pass 50% to avoid bare areas, pinholes or holidays.
When applying directly over inorganic zincs at full
thickness, bubbling may occur. A test patch is
recommended and if bubbling occurs, apply a "mist
coat". Consult your PPG representative for further
information.
6. Double coat all welds, rough spots, sharp edges and
corners, rivets, bolts, etc.
7. Application at 125 µm wet film thickness will normally
provide 100 µm dry film.
8. Check thickness of dry coating with a non-destructive
dry film thickness gauge, such as Mikrotest or
Elcometer. If less than specified thickness, apply
additional material as needed.
9. Small damaged or bare areas and random pinholes or
holidays can be touched up by brush. Repair larger
areas by spray.
10. In confined areas ventilate with clean air during
application and drying until all solvents are removed.
Temperature and humidity of ventilating air must be
such that moisture condensation will not form on
surface.
# For conventional spray, use adequate air pressure and
volume to ensure proper atomisation.
# Normal recommended dry film thickness is 75 to 200
µm.
11. Clean all equipment with recommended thinner
immediately after use or at least after each working day
or shift. When left in spray equipment, Amercoat 310 will
cure and cause clogging.

*Certain colors (especially yellow, red and orange) may require additional coats
to achieve adequate hiding, particularly when applied over dark or contrasting
primer color. Color variance with rapid response tinted colors may be greater
than with standard production batches. If color is critical, change batches at
natural breaks in structure or intermix batches for consistency.
Yellow, red and orange colors will fade faster than other colors due to the
replacement of lead-based pigments with lead-free pigments in these colors.

Application Procedure
Amercoat 450H is packaged in two components in the proper
proportions which must be mixed together before use:
1. Flush equipment with thinner or Amercoat 12 before use.
2. Stir each component thoroughly, then add cure to resin and
mix until uniformly blended to a workable consistency. Do
not mix more material than will be used within 4 hours at
65-80°F (18-27°C). Pot life is shortened by higher tempera-
tures. See pot life data.
3. Thin only if necessary for workability.
4. When applying by conventional spray, use adequate air
pressure and volume to ensure proper atomization.
5. Apply a wet coat in even parallel passes, overlap 50 percent
to avoid holidays, bare areas and pinholes. If required, cross
spray at right angles.
6. Application of 3 mils (75 microns) wet film thickness will
normally provide 2 mils (50 microns) dry film.
7. Clean all equipment with thinner or Amercoat 12
immediately after use.
8. Keep containers tightly closed since repeated exposure to
moisture will cause gelation. Moisture contaminated
material is also subject to gassing on storage. Handle bulged
containers with caution; lids may eject forcibly.
