Product Data Sheet
BI-O-PLEXTM WATER REDUCIBLE ENAMEL 580JB

SURFACE PREPARATION: All surfaces must be sound, dry, clean and free of oil, dirt, grease, wax, loose or flaking paint
and other surface contaminants. Remove form release agents, etc. by power washing with an
appropriate cleaner, rinse, and dry. Concrete and mortar must be cured at least 30 days at
75°F before painting. For best results, a SSPC-SP5 (NACE No. 1) white metal blast is
minimum for severe exposure. For moderate exposure, a SSPC-SP6 (NACE No. 3)
commercial blast should be used.

For improved corrosion resistance, Bi-O-PlexTM Water Reducible Primer should be used.

APPLICATION CONDITIONS: Apply only on a dry and clean surface with a temperature 5°Fabove the dew point to avoid
condensation. Use only where application and curing can proceed at temperatures above:
10°C/50°F. The temperature of the paint itself should be: 15-25°C/59-77°F. In confined
spaces provide adequate ventilation during application and drying. Mix thoroughly before
usage. May be applied by air spray, or airless spray. ONLY USE APPLICATION
EQUIPMENT WITH STAINLESS STEEL LINED FLUID PASSAGES.

PRECEDING COAT: None, or Bi-O-Plex Water Reducible Primer, or per specification.

SUBSEQUENT COAT: None, Or Bi-O-Plex Water Reducible Enamel

REMARKS:

Mixing: Mix thoroughly before use. Only apply when air and surface temperatures are between 50-
100F.

Thinning: Thin as needed to 5% with deionized water.

Drying: Under normal conditions, dries to touch in 15 minutes and to recoat in 60 minutes. Low
temperature, high humidity, poor ventilation and thick films will retard drying. Good air
movement and low humidity will aid in the proper drying of water reducible coatings.

Cleaning: Clean skin, clothing, tools or spills immediately with soap and water. Dried material may be
removed by scraping, or by mixing 1 part of Butyl Cellosolve to 5 parts water. If spilled,
contain spilled material and remove with inert absorbent. Dispose of contaminated absorbent,
container and unused contents in accordance with local, state, and federal laws.
