All surfaces must be dry before proceeding.
Steel Steel must be sandblasted to near white metal (SP-10). In immersion service, abrasive blast to
white metal (SP-5).

Concrete shall be designed, placed, cured, and prepared per NACE No. 6/SSPC-SP 13, latest
edition. Abrade to remove all laitance, loose concrete, etc. and to create surface profile in
Concrete or CMU
accordance with the appropriate ICRI CSP standard for the coating system. The concrete is

MIXING & THINNING

Catalyze Ssemstone 8084 primer at a 1-2% level by weight.
One gallon SEMSTONE 8084 primer resin with 40 cc catalyst is the 1% level and pot life at 75 °F
(24 °C) will be approximately 30 minutes.
