FGI
– 6500 H Corrosion Protection Coating Unique Coatings – Extreme Results Description
FGI – 6500H is an extremely unique
ultimate performance corrosion protection coating. An epoxy resin polyamide
coating especially developed to withstand extreme corrosive and abrasive
conditions which quickly destroy conventional type protective paint coatings. FGI-
6500H was originally developed to prevent corrosion to steel surfaces. The
chemical, abrasion and undercreep resistance characteristics of this product
have proven so outstanding that it is considered to be the least expensive
method to prevent corrosion. This product has been in constant use for over 40
years in applications as diverse as offshore platforms to subways. FGI- 6500H
is designed for adhering to almost any clean surface including: aluminum, wood,
metals of all types, concrete, plastic, brick, glass, and transites. The few surfaces FGI-6500H is not recommended
for are Teflon, high-plasticized vinyls, polyethylene, and silicone rubber. FGI-6500H
has excellent anti-corrosion qualities and hardness yet it remains extremely
flexible so as not to crack. This is the ultimate corrosion protection on hot
steam pipes that have much expansion and contraction of the metal. The
flexibility of the FGI-6500H prevents it from cracking. Outdoor durability and color stability is
excellent. FGI-6500H is extremely Weather, UV, Chemical, Salt, and Abrasion
resistant providing for an unsurpassed durable wear surface with superior
adhesion properties that promotes a nearly indestructible coating surface that
also meets EPA regulations for Zero VOC’s. FGI-6500H requires little surface
preparation thus reducing the time, labor and the TOTAL cost of your project. Another
great benefit to the FGI-6500H is the unique properties that are incorporated
into the product such as the following: The
FGI-6500H is a 100% solids version of the FGI-6500.The FGI-6500H is best applied with a plural
component spray pump, such as the Graco Extreme Mix or Hydra Cat systems. By
using this type spray system the product will have a 10 to 15 minute cure time,
thus making a short working time frame, typically imposed by the customer, very
advantageous to the applicator, and thus being able to sell and finish projects
you otherwise would have to walk away from. This works extremely well in
production line or assembly line applications where long cure time has
previously been a problem, but not any more. Fast cure time translates into a
direct positive effect to your bottom line. And the 6500H is less expensive per
square foot of coverage than the regular formulation of the 6500. ASTM Test ASTM B117 500 hour Salt fog

Typical Applications: Marine
environments, structural steel, welding repair, scaffolds, automobiles, truck
beds, tanks, pipes, industrial and farm equipment, lawn mowers, snow plows, air
conditioner parts, concrete floors and walls, decks, stairs, steps, railings,
walls and ceilings of subways and any metal surface. Application Methods The FGI-6500H is
best applied with a plural component spray pump, such as the Graco Extreme Mix
or Hydra Cat system. Mixing is done in the plural component system. The
FGI-6500H has a mixing ratio of 2 to 1.Two parts BASE (part "B") and
One part ACTIVATOR (part "A"). Use of thinner increases possibility
of sag and reduces dry film thickness. Thinner also retards cure time. For best
results, use just as it comes from the can. If surface to be coated has chlorine ions, these must be
neutralized with Chlor-Rid mixed into the pressure wash water. This is a rare
occurrence but usually occurs around salt water. Chlorine ion test will verify. Surfaces should be free of loose rust, mill scale, paint,
grease, oil and of any other film-forming foreign material. An example of the prep work needed is to
water blast with high-pressure (3,000 psi MIN) water to thoroughly clean off
all debris, dirt, and other contaminates. The result shall be to have a clean
tight substrate. Optimum results are obtained if the surface is dry although
entirely satisfactory protection is obtained if the surface is damp and/or wet.
Surplus water should be removed to prevent excessive bubbling of the coating.
No primer is needed on metal surfaces thereby reducing total job cost. Thinner
also retards cure time. For best results, use just as it comes from the can. Any
overspray and equipment must be cleaned immediately with acetone, toluene,
xylene, or MEK. FGI-6500H is 100% solids. Pot Life: Not
applicable to plural component system. Cure time 10 to 15 minutes. Milleage
will depend on the particular application. Apply 3 mils (.003 inches or 0.07mm)
wet to achieve a final dry mil thickness of 3 mils (.003 inches or 0.07mm).
FGI-6500H will cover approximately 535 square feet per gallon at 3 mils
thickness. If second coat is needed,this second coat will cover any voids in
the surface due to a very rough surface. Max of 10 mils (0.01 inches or 0.254
mm) can be applied per coat without runs if necessary. Use in well ventilated
area; if not possible, use a NIOSH approved self contained breathing apparatus
or vapor filters on a mask. Protective gloves and safety glasses must be worn
at all times. Only very high abrasion will remove the coating. Caution: With
the extreme adhesion characteristics of this product all safety procedures must
be followed. Customers should consult FGI on all special requirement
installations. Storage Stability & Shelf Life The shelf life of FGI- 6500H is one year when stored in
original, unopened container. Store cans in a well ventilated and covered area
away from extreme heat and moisture. Please contact your FGI representative if
you have any questions about product usability. Additional
