What is Five Star ARMX DeepGuard WS used for?
It is used as a chemical-resistant epoxy coating on wet, damp, or dry concrete, steel, and wood surfaces, including tanks, marine structures, containment areas, and equipment support pads.
Can DeepGuard WS be applied to damp concrete?
Yes. It is specifically formulated to adhere to wet and damp surfaces while also performing on dry substrates.
Can DeepGuard WS be used underwater?
The data sheet identifies DeepGuard WS for wet and damp surfaces but does not identify it as an underwater-application coating. Five Star DeepGuard UW is the version specifically formulated for underwater placement.
How much area does one 2 gallon unit cover?
One unit covers approximately 320 square feet when applied at a film thickness of 10 mils.
What is the mixing ratio?
Component A resin and Component B hardener are mixed at a 2:1 ratio by volume. Both components should be premixed separately before combining.
How can DeepGuard WS be applied?
It may be applied using a squeegee, 3/8 inch nap roller, brush, or heated plural-component airless spray equipment.
How long is the working time after mixing?
The pot life is approximately 40 minutes at 77 Degrees F. Mix only the amount that can be placed within that period.
How soon can the coated surface return to service?
Foot traffic may begin after approximately 24 hours and forklift traffic after approximately 48 hours, assuming proper curing conditions.
