Using CeramAlloy CBX

Surface Preparation - CeramAlloy® CBX should only be applied to clean, dry, firm and well roughened surfaces.

1. Remove all loose material and surface contamination.

2. Depending on the surface, solvent clean and/or remove contamination by abrasive blasting, steam cleaning, pressure washing, or other suitable means.

3. After removing all surface and sub-surface contamination, flush the area as necessary and allow to dry completely.

Priming The Surface - A 250 gm unit of CeramAlloy® CL+AC is supplied as a primer in each 5 kg CeramAlloy® CBX system. Pour the contents of the Activator container into the Base container and mix thoroughly. Prime the area to be treated with the mixed CeramAlloy® CL+AC using a stiff-bristled brush. As a guide, an even thickness of approximately 10 - 12 mils should be obtained. Priming should be completed within 45 minutes of mixing. Overcoating with CeramAlloy® CBX should ideally be performed when the priming layer of CL+AC is just tacky and certainly within 8 hours of application.

[Note: CeramAlloy® CL+AC is available separately as a primer for the 20 kg units of CeramAlloy CBX.]

Mixing and Application - For your convenience, the METALCLAD CeramAlloy® CBX Base, Activator and Aggregate have been supplied in precisely measured quantities to simplify mixing of full units. Should a small amount of material be required, measure out 5 parts Base and 2 parts Activator and 14 parts Aggregate, by volume.

To facilitate mixing of full units, a mechanical mixing device is strongly recommended. Combine the Base and Activator in the large, plastic bucket and, with the mixer running, slowly add the Aggregate.

Apply the mixed CeramAlloy® CBX to the prepared and primed surface using a trowel, putty knife, or other appropriate tool, pressing well to insure intimate contact and force out any air entrapped as a result of the mixing technique and/or device used.

Health and Safety - Every effort is made to insure that ENECON^® products are as simple and safe to use as possible. Normal industry standards and practices for housekeeping, cleanliness and personal protection should be observed.

Please refer to the detailed MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS (MSDS) supplied with the material (also available on request) for more information.

Cleaning Equipment - Wipe excess material from tools immediately. Use acetone, MEK, isopropyl alcohol or similar solvent as needed.
