Specially formulated for resistance to cathodic disbonding,
it is mainly used as a dielectric-shield to dissipate current
and protect areas immediately adjacent to anodes used for
impressed-current distribution.

Where a thickness in excess of 6mm is required, this should
be achieved in multiple coats. Di-Shield must only be
applied to blast cleaned surfaces for good resistance to
cathodic disbondment.

Read and observe Health and Safety precautions before
handling this material. Skin contact should be avoided,
especiallysensitiveskinareas.Protectiveclothing,gloves,
and eye protection should be worn. Wear a suitable fume
mask in confined spaces. Do not use in confined spaces
without ventilation. Do not ingest.

1. Remove all weld slag and spatter, grind welds reasonably
smooth.
2. Where necessary remove oil and grease by solvent
detergent washing or steam cleaning.
3. Minimum grit blast standard is SSPC-SP10 (ISO
8501-1 Sa 2½) or equivalent using a suitable
abrasive, to provide a profile of 100um (0.004”).
4. Remove blast residues by vacuum cleaning or blowing
with clean, dry, oil free compressed air or on vertical
surfaces, brushing with a suitable clean brush.
5. Apply Di-Shield as soon as possible after blasting and
before color change or the formation of visible rust bloom.

Trowel or short hair, stiff brush.

100:2 parts by weight, base to catalyst. Mix the whole
contents of one bottle of catalyst provided into one can of
Di-Shield using a heavy-duty power mixer to ensure thorough
mixing is achieved. After mixing, remove contents from tin
and re-mix on a clean flat surface or in a shallow receptacle.

Pot life is dependent upon temperature and Di-Shield should
only be mixed immediately before application. Usable life will
be circa 40 minutes at 68°F (20°C) but will vary
significantly, long when cold, short when hot.

Di-Shield is applied at a film thickness of 6 to 8mm from
anode edge tapering over a distance of a half meter to
a meter to a thickness of 1mm. It should preferably be
applied in two coats, but can be applied in a single coat to
the required thickness provided 6mm is not exceeded in a
single coat. Minimum application temperature is 14°F
( -10°C). Surface must be dry and 38°F (3°C) above dew
point.
Extending the shield application area to 5 feet (1.5 meters)
from the edge of the anode will be advantageous in current
dissipation with most systems. In extreme cold conditions
product may have long cure time, base can be heated to
68°F (20°C) before addition of catalyst using indirect heating
to assist in polymerization.
