POLYBAC #314 - POLYGEM, Inc.

3. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
POLYBAC #314 is a trowelable wear resistant, ceramic bead filled, polymer compound for armor surfacing wear areas. POLYBAC #314 is a rugged, non-machinable protective overlay for repairing pump housings, impellers, chutes, tanks, screens, elbows, scrubbers, dust collectors, flumes, troughs, fans, silos and many other applications.

POLYBAC #314 forms a molecular bond with cast iron, steel, stainless, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, ceramics, carbides, concrete, wood and other materials. In addition to its outstanding wear resistance, it has excellent corrosion and erosion resistance. Operating temperature up to 250°F/121°C.

4. APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Sandblast or scarify surface to eliminate all surface scale, rust and unclean matter. Wipe surface with a clean cloth soaked with POLYBAC #20 Solvent. if possible, warm the substrate to 120°F.
If sandblasting is not available, wire brush, disc grinder or a coarse sandpaper may be used. Clean with a soil free cloth, soaked with #20 Solvent.
The substrate must be free from all contamination such as oil, grease, rust, mill scale, water, release agents or soil. Mix 2 parts A (Resin) to 1 part B (Hardener) on a separate board until uniform in color.
Apply a thin layer of POLYBAC #314 MODERATE WEAR SURF and rub into the surface, then proceed to build up to desired thickness. Layers should not exceed ¼” at one time to insure proper cure.
The cure can be accelerated by waving a torch over the surface for about thirty minutes or heat Part A (Resin) to 100°F before mixing. This process will accelerate the cure but also shorten the working life. Material is sensitive to varying temperatures.
A smooth slick surface can be accomplished by dipping your trowel into #20 Solvent then smoothing over the already applied POLYBAC #314.
Do not apply below 50° F without heating the material and substrate to temperatures above 80° F. Clean tools with #20 Solvent and clean skin or clothes with soapy water.
