Preparation and Application Information

Material Preparation

  • Do Not Thin. 
  • Apply only to clean, dry surfaces.
  • Keep container closed when not in use.

Application

  • Apply a tack coat of Fire Resistive Lagging Adhesive and Coating at 75 to 80 sq. ft./gal. (1.8 - 2.0 m2 /l).
  • Immediately imbed the selected lagging fabric into the wet adhesive.
  • Smooth to avoid wrinkles and overlap seams by at least 2 inches (5 cm).
  • Immediately apply a sizing coat of Fire Resistive Lagging Adhesive and Coating at 75 to 80 sq. ft./gal. (1.8 - 2.0 m2 /l).

Top Coating 

  • If 81-42 is to be top coated with anything other than an alkyd enamel conforming to DOD-E-24607 as specified in Mil-A-3316C, the user must confirm by his own tests that the products are compatible and that the final results are satisfactory.

Brush 

  • Use clean paintbrushes. Apply full coat in uniform thickness.

Dip 

  • On long runs or large surface areas, lagging fabric may be dipped to achieve greater speed and labor economy.
  • Dipped lagging cloths and tapes must be applied to the insulation while lagging adhesive is still wet.

Spray 

  • Fire Resistive Lagging Adhesive and Coating may be spray applied using conventional air atomized or airless spray equipment.
  • For spray equipment information, please consult Airless Spray Recommendations or contact your spray equipment supplier.
  • Average viscosity range: 30,000 - 40,000 cps.

Clean-Up 

  • Use fresh water to clean brushes and equipment before product dries.
  • Dry product may be removed with hot soapy water or strong solvent such as chlorinated solvent (non-flammable) or mineral spirits (flammable).
