Childers® Chil-Brate™ CP-25

• Water-based for personal and environmental safety.
• Highly resistant to acids, alkalis and salts.
• Meets requirements for LEED IEQ 4.2 Low-Emitting Materials, Paints and Coatings.
• VOC: 0 g/l, less water and exempt solvents.

• It is primarily designed to protect insulation on equipment and structures in high temperature service, although it also provides protection against corrosion when applied directly over steel and concrete.
• Typical insulations protected with this coating include calcium silicate, mineral and glass fibers, polyurethane and glass foams.
• It is not recommended in ponded water areas or over polystyrene foam insulation.

Material Preparation:

• Do not thin. Stir well, but do not use sticks or boards, which would splinter or otherwise contaminate the product.
• Apply only to clean, dry, oil-free surfaces. Keep container closed when not in use. Cement coats must be dry. This product cannot be successfully applied by brush or spray.

Outdoor and Heavy-duty Service:

• To prevent water infiltration, properly flash all penetrations. Prime dusty insulation or porous cements with an asphalt primer.
• Chil-Brate™ CP-25 is designed to be applied by trowel. 1. Apply tack coat of Chil-Brate™ CP-25 at 7.5 gal. per 100 sq. ft. (3.1 l/m2 ) by trowel.
• Embed CHIL-GLAS® #5 or #10 glass fiber reinforcing mesh into the wet tack coat. Smooth membrane to avoid wrinkles and overlap all seams at least 2 inches (51 mm).
• Apply finish coat of Chil-Brate™ CP-25 at 7.5 gal. per 100 sq. ft. The second coat shall be applied immediately following the initial set of the first coat while it is still damp.
• Total coverage shall be 15 gallons per 100 sq. ft.
• This application shall provide a minimum dry film thickness of 120 mils (3 mm).
• Chicken wire should not be used. Foot or mechanical traffic is not recommended for roof or tank top applications where high ambient temperatures may soften the mastic film.
• Not recommended for indoor use. Outdoor horizontal surfaces must always drain completely. A pitch of at least 1⁄2” per foot (4 cm/m) is required.

Heavy Duty Applications - Up to 50% Greater Tensile Strength:

• Apply as above, but making sure to use CHIL-GLAS® #5 glass fiber reinforcing mesh. Note that the membrane weave pattern will show through the dried mastic.

Trowel:

• Apply evenly with a minimum of overworking of material. May be applied with a rubber glove on small radius pipes and vessels.

Clean Up:

• Clean equipment with clean fresh water before mastic dries, followed by mineral spirits (flammable) or chlorinated solvent (nonflammable). Use mineral spirits or chlorinated solvent after mastic dries.

¹ - Drying time will vary depending upon film thickness, temperature and humidity.
