PRODUCT INFORMATION
Syntho-Subsea™ LV
is a unique blend of liquid epoxy, polymer, and aliphatic polyamine curing agents that is able to displace water from wet surfaces in order to make a permanent bond.
The formulation is solvent-free to ensure safety and maximum technical performance. Kevlar® fibers are incorporated for reinforcement and viscosity management to achieve high-application rates - even underwater. Provides permanent protection under the most adverse conditions, the formula is uniquely field-friendly and uses advanced, low-toxicity ingredients in a high-build brushable/rollable product. Syntho-Subsea™LV Epoxy can be shipped non-regulated by USDOT, IATA, and IMO.

PREPARATION & APPLICATION
-
1
Clean and roughen: A clean surface, free of grease, loose rust and scale is required. Remove any grease, oil and petroleum products with a solvent wiping. After cleaning and degreasing, remove any loose scale and roughen surface by mechanical means.
-
2
Mixing notes: Do not mix Syntho-Subsea™ underwater. For underwater applications mix on the boat then transfer to the repair site. A pair of disposable gloves and a plastic putty knife are supplied with each kit for mixing and applying.
-
3
Mix: Add all of the curing agent, (part B) into the resin container (part A), scrape sides and bottom of the container. Mix the resin and curing agent together until a smooth, uniform and streak free mixture is obtained.
-
4
Application: Apply with a putty knife, spatula or trowel. For underwater applications, it is important to apply sufficient pressure to displace the water on the surface. Spread carefully while working the material into indentations to avoid trapped air or water pockets, prior to building up to the desired thickness. A coating thickness of 60 mils or more is achievable without running or sagging, however for most applications a coating of approximately 30-60 mils is normally sufficient.

NOTES
• It is important to feather the edges of Syntho-SubSea for a water tight seal.
• If multiple coats are to be used, roughen the surface in-between coats.
• Available from stock in 1 lb. and 4 lb. preweighed kits or can be special ordered in bulk containers.
