TECHNICAL INFORMATION FOR USING JONES-BLAIR TM ACRYLITHANE HS2 ON SERVICE STATION EXTERIORS & SERVICE BAY OPTIONS Special Information: Interior Sales Area and Service Bay Finish Coat Options Acrylithane HS2 should be used wherever possible because of its superior serviceability and appearance. However, due to its strong solvent odor, it may be desirable to substitute the Acrylithane HS2 in the sales area or service bays with Rust Not HP Acrylic Latex Enamel. This is a single component, air dry latex which also offers very low odor and a hard gloss finish. Mixing, Thinning, and Application Technique Jones-Blair Acrylithane HS2 (high solids) is a two component system and must be mixed. A 3:1 mixing ratio is required. Mix one 3/4 gallon of Acrylithane base material with one (1) quart of #99951 Acrylithane Catalyst. Up to one (1) quart of #21092 thinner may be added per gallon of mixed paint. Thinning is recommended for spray application. For brush and roller application, thinning is not normally required. Apply Acrylithane only to thoroughly dry surfaces. When applying at temperatures exceeding 85 o F, addition of as much as three fluid ounces (about one-fifth pint) of #21093 drying retardant per gallon of Acrylithane is recommended. Use of drying retardant prevents dry spray and undesired fast drying on the surface being covered as well as on brushes and rollers. For application in temperatures between 35-45 o F, it is recommended that 1/4-1/2 ounce (2-3 capfuls) of #99011 Accelerator be added per catalyzed gallon of Acrylithane HS2 or #33010 Ureprime Primer. Note: Acrylithane HS2 may be applied over any urethane of factory baked finishes, including florapolymers, when dulled by sanding and priming with Ureprime HS2 Epoxy Urethane Primer #33010 White - Mix 3:1 ratio with 99951 catalyst same as Acrylithane HS2 topcoat. Note: Apply two coats of recommended white primer over dark colors for good hide when using yellow or red to topcoat. Two finish coats required. New Metal Surfaces (Iron and Steel) Surface must be clean and free from oil, grease, wax, and other foreign matter. Remove mill scale and rust by sandblasting. If sandblasting is not practical, clean surfaces with power tools or by hand scraping and wire-brushing. Prime with Jones-Blair #1500-077 White Multi Purpose HS Primer or #1560-032 Gray. For maximum corrosion resistance in coastal areas, prime with Jones-Blair #33010 White Ureprime Epoxy Urethane. One prime coat and two finish coats required. Previously Painted Metal Surfaces (Iron and Steel) Surface must be clean and free from oil, grease, wax, and other foreign matter. Remove any rust and loose paint by scraping and wire-brushing. Apply primer to any areas cleaned to bare metal the same as described for new metal surfaces. Most aged alkyd and urethane enamels will accept a new Acrylithane topcoat without lifting. To reduce the potential for lifting an existing coating, a barrier coat of #1500-077 White Multi-Purpose HS Primer or #1560-032 Gray may be applied before application of an Acrylithane finish coat. Apply two Acrylithane finish coats for desired appearance.

Factory Finished Panels INCLUDING ACM Surfaces must be clean and free from oil, grease, wax or other foreign matter. If previously painted, remove loose or scaling paint by waterblasting, scraping or wirebrushing. Clean any chalky surfaces thoroughly with detergent and water then rinsing with clean water. Let all surfaces dry completely before painting. Apply two coats of Jones-Blair Acrylithane HS2 finish for desired appearance. Aluminum and Galvanized Surfaces Surface must be clean and free from oil, grease, wax and other foreign matter. Prime with Jones-Blair #942 Mist Coat II Zinc Chromate Primer or #3090 Multi Grip 2 Acrylic White Metal Primer. Apply two Acrylithane finish coats for desired appearance. New Masonry Surfaces (Block, Concrete, Rough-Textured Brick, Etc. Surface must be clean and free from oil, grease, wax, and other foreign matter. Fill all porous surfaces with Jones-Blair #3781 Latex Block Filler. Block filler is ready-mixed and may be applied by brush, roller, or spray. For best results, spray and roller application should be followed by brushing while the filler is still wet. Brushing will work the filler into pores and crevices to more effectively prevent moisture penetration. A gallon of block filler will typically cover 50-150 square feet depending on the surface. Use water for cleanup and thinning. For roller application, a 1/2 inch roller cover is recommended with block filler. Allow block filler to dry 24 to 48 hours before applying finish coats. *NOTE: Acrylithane HS2 may be applied over any urethane coating without a barrier prime coat when dulled by sanding. Factory Applied Florapolymer Coatings (ACM) Acrylithane HS2 may be applied over any urethane or factory baked finishes including florapolymer coatings when dulled by sanding and applying Ureprime HS2 Epoxy Urethane Primer #33010 White. This is a two component product same as Acrylithane Topcoat. Previously Painted Masonry Surfaces Surface must be clean and free from oil, grease, wax and other foreign matter. Remove loose and scaling paint by water blasting, scraping or wirebrushing. If fillers are removed by cleaning the surface, fill again as required with Jones-Blair #3781 Latex Block Filler. Make any necessary repairs with a concrete patching compound. Clean any chalky surfaces thoroughly with detergent and water before application of topcoat. Let any wet surfaces dry thoroughly before applying barrier or finish coats. A barrier coat of Jones-Blair #1500-077 White Multi-Purpose HS Primer or #1560-032 Gray may be applied over alkyd coatings to reduce potential for lifting by Acrylithane topcoat. Most aged alkyd, latex and urethane enamels will accept a new Acrylithane topcoat without lifting.

New Stucco Surfaces Surface must be clean and free from oil, grease, wax, and other foreign matter including loose stucco. New stucco should be allowed to cure 1-2 weeks in good drying condition before applying prime coat. Prime with #3090 Multi-Grip 2 Latex Primer and two finish coats for desired appearance. Previously Painted Stucco Surfaces Surface must be clean and free from oil, grease, wax, and other foreign matter. Remove and repair any loose or damaged stucco. Clean any chalky surfaces thoroughly with detergent and water before application of topcoat. Let any wet surfaces dry thoroughly before applying barrier or finish coats. A barrier coat of Jones-Blair #1500-077 White Multi-Purpose Primer or #1560-032 Gray may be applied over alkyd coating to reduce potential for lifting by Acrylithane topcoat. Most aged alkyd, latex and urethane enamels will accept a new Acrylithane topcoat without lifting. Apply two finish coats of Acrylithane HS2. Unpainted Glazed Brick and Porcelain Surface must be clean and free from oil, grease, wax, and other foreign matter. Apply prime coat of Jones-Blair #33010 White Ureprime HS2 primer. * Previously Painted Glazed Brick and Porcelain Surface must be clean and free from oil, grease, wax and other foreign matter. Remove loose and scaling paint by water blasting, scraping, or wirebrushing. Apply prime coat of Jones-Blair #33010 White Ureprime Primer to any areas where previous coatings are removed by cleaning and surface preparation. Additionally, to reduce the potential for lifting an existing coating, a barrier coat of the #1500-077 White Multi-Purpose HS Primer or #1560-032 Gray may be applied before application of any Acrylithane finish coat. Most aged alkyd, latex and urethane enamels will accept a new Acrylithane topcoat without lifting. Dull glossy surfaces by sanding. Apply one prime coat and two finish coats for desired appearance. Unpainted Common Brick, Stone-X and other Unpainted Cementous Surfaces Surface must be clean and free from oil, grease, wax, and other foreign matter. Prime with Jones-Blair #3090 Multi-Grip 2 Latex where bridging of small cracks is desired. Jones-Blair #3781 Block Filler may also be used for this purpose when thinned with water. Apply two Acrylithane finish coats for desired appearance. New Wood Surface must be clean and free from oil, grease, wax, and other foreign matter. Fill cracks with spackling paste. Ensure that surface is thoroughly dry before painting. No separate primer is required. Acrylithane is self-priming.

* Previously Painted Wood Surface must be clean and free from oil, grease, wax and other foreign matter. Remove loose and scaling paint by scraping or wirebrushing. Remove any mildew (wearing protective clothing, gloves and safety goggles) by washing with a solution of household bleach, water and household detergent (3 quarts water plus 1 quart bleach plus 1 cup detergent). Do not add ammonia to the mixture. Rinse the washed surface thoroughly with clean water. Repair cracks with spackling paste. Ensure that surface is thoroughly dry before painting. Most aged alkyd, latex and urethane enamel will accept a new Acrylithane topcoat without lifting. To reduce the potential for lifting an existing coating, a barrier coat of Jones-Blair #1500-077 Multi-Purpose HS Primer or #1560-032 Gray may be applied before application of an Acrylithane finish coat.

Power washing is required for all decks if repainting is required. Buildings and other structures should also be power washed if they are to be painted. Equipment Power washing pumps should be capable of generating 3,000 to 4,000 psi and deliver 6-10 gpm of wash/rinse water. Fan type spray tips give varying spray angles. Fan tips are considered to be "scrapers" and/or "pushers". The spray tips used should be selected for this program should be based on the area and surface to be cleaned. Do not use a round tip or what is commonly referred to as a "shotgun", point tip or "0" tip. Round tips used with high pressure may result in surface damage on wood, metal or masonry. This type of spray tip is considered to be a "cutter". High flow rate/low pressure machines will generally clean better than a low flow rate/high pressure machine. Consult SSPC-SP12/NACE No. 5 "Surface Preparation and Cleaning of Steel and Other Hard Materials by High and Ultrahigh Pressure Water Jetting Prior to Recoating" for additional information. Cleaning Agents There is a number of cleaning agents or detergents that can be used in conjunction with pressure washers. Cleaning agents can dramatically improve cleaning efforts. Consult the manufacturer's recommendations based on the type of surfaces to be cleaned. Also consider health, safety and environmental issues when selecting the appropriate cleaner. Do not use any solutions that are caustic soda (causes pitting of aluminum), chlorine (discolors all metals), strong alkaline (will damage painted surfaces) or acid type cleaners that will deteriorate galvanized metal or etch glass. The best cleaning agent for common soil types to remove grease, oil and dirt is a medium duty alkaline (ph of 8 to 12) at about 3% concentration by volume for painted metal, wood, and galvanized aluminum. Regardless of the cleaning agents used, the surfaces cleaned must be thoroughly rinsed with clear water to insure that the cleaning solution has been removed. Failure to thoroughly remove the cleaning agent could result in poor paint adhesion when the surfaces are painted. All power washed surfaces must be dry before painting. Preparation and Power Washing Cover all surfaces that might be damaged by power washing such as dispensers, automobiles, light fixtures, cameras, foliage, etc. All surfaces should be scrubbed to remove contaminants. Heavily stained areas may need pre-treatment. A minimum of two passes is required: one with cleaning solution and the final rinse. All standing water should be removed from the site to ensure that there are no remaining chemicals and to avoid spotting. Reclamation Contractor is expected to comply with all regulations regarding the disposal of wash and rinse water. Local or state regulations may not permit these waters into the site storm drains, or, to be allowed to run off site. For those areas that do have special reclamation requirements, contact the Project Manager.
