S E L E C T I O N & S P E C I F I C AT I O N D ATA
Generic Type Cross-linked water-based epoxy

A water-based epoxy finish that is easy to apply, has an attractive high gloss appearance, and has
very good chemical resistance. Sanitile 555 VOC has minimal odor and is less than 100 g/L VOC. It
has significant improvements in film hardness and toughness over straight acrylic or acrylic-epoxy
Description
coatings and is more chemically and physically resistant. It is therefore ideal for more aggressive
exposures on walls and structural components than acrylic-modified epoxies. It may also be used
for light to moderate duty floors.

• Very good chemical resistance

• Resists repeated cleaning
• High gloss finish for ease of cleaning
Features • Low odor, VOC is <100 g/L
• Fast dry to touch and recoat
• Hard, tough, abrasion resistant film
• Suitable for use in USDA inspected facilities

Color Refer to Carboline color card

Remove any oil or grease from the surface to be coated with clean rags soaked in Carboline
General Thinner 2 or Surface Cleaner 3 (refer to Surface Cleaner 3 instructions) in accordance with SSPC-
SP1. Apply over clean, dry recommended primers only.

Steel Prime with suitable primer as recommended by your Carboline sales representative.

Concrete must be cured 28 days at 75°F (24°C) and 50% relative humidity or equivalent. Laitance,
form oils, curing agents and hardeners must be removed by suitable method before coating
Concrete or CMU application. Mortar joints should be thoroughly cured for a minimum of 15 days at 75°F (24°C) and
50% RH or equivalent. Seal or fill as needed with a suitable Sanitile filler/surfacer/sealer or other
appropriate primers.

Brush & Roller Multiple coats may be required to achieve desired dry film thickness and hiding characteristics.
(General)

Brush Use a synthetic bristle brush.

For smooth surfaces, use a short woven nap synthetic roller. For rough surfaces, cinder block or

Maximum 95°F (35°C) 110°F (43°C) 110°F (43°C) 90%

Do not apply when the surface temperature is less than 5°F (3°C) above the dew point. Do not apply if temperatures are
expected to drop below 50°F (10°C) within 24 hours of application. Special application techniques may be required above or
below normal application conditions.

75°F (24°C) 3 Hours 4 Hours 18 Hours
90°F (32°C) 2 Hours 3 Hours 12 Hours

These times are based on a 3.0-4.0 mil (75-100 microns) dry film thickness. Higher film thicknesses, insufficient ventilation, high
humidity or cooler temperatures will require longer cure times. *Fingernail hard or light foot traffic.
