9.1.3 Apply sufficient amounts of the THERMO-LAG 330-1 Subliming Material Spray Grade to cover the bolt heads.
12.0 COATING APPLICATION TECHNI VES 12.1 THERMO-LAG 351 Primer A lication 12.1.1 Prepare the surface of the steel entity for application of the THERMO-LAG 351 Type Primer by removing any dirt, scale, rust or other contaminants. Never apply the primer directly over any hard or glossy painted surface without roughening the surface in accordance with standard painting practices.
12.1.2 Make sure that the cleaned steel surace is compatible with the THERMO-LAG 330-1 Subliming Material by making cross hatch adhesion tests as follows:
.Cross Hatch Adhesion Test.
The primer is cut over an area approximately 4" by 4" in a square matrix, each square being approximately 1/2" by 1/2".
A high quality tape is 'applied diagonally.to the square.
Upon completion of the tape application, it is rubbed in ~
firmly to assure good adhesion. With one complete perking motion, the tape is removed. If more than 3 percent of the Primer is removed from the surface, the application is faulty. This test should be performed in areas which are deemed critical and in as many places as required by the specification. Upon completion of the Cross Hatch Adhesion Test, the test areas should be again with the THERMO-LAG 351-2 Primer by either brushing or light spray.
r 2-43
Always apply a barrier coat of THERMO-LAG 351 Type Primer over steel surfaces which have been previously primed with a zinc based primer. All doubtful surfaces should be removed using mechanical cleaning methods.
12.1.3 Apply the Primer to the properly prepared steel surface in one continuous coat using spray equipment or a roller. The minimum acceptable dry primer thickness should be 0.002 inches which is normally achieved by applying at a spread rate of circa 200 sq.
ft. per gallon.
12.1.4 Measure Primer thickness using an approved magnetic direct reading gauge.
12.1.5 Make cross hatch adhesion tests on the primed surface to assure
~
proper adhesion between the primer and the surface of the steel item prior to proceeding with the application of the THERMO-LAG 330-1 Subliming Material.
12.1.5 Coat the primed steel surface area with the THERMO-LAG 330-1 Subliming Material. The coating shall be applied in accordance with instructions given in Paragraph 12.2 or 12.3 herein.
12.2 THERMO-LAG 330-1 Sublimin Material S ra A lication 12.2.1 Apply the THERMO-LAG 330-1 Subliming Material Spray Grade over a properly prepared surface. Make sure that the surface to be coated is clean, dry, above 40 F and free from scale, rust or other contaminants.
12.2.2 Apply the material in as many passes as required to provide the required dry film build of'he coating thickness, taking care to avoid slumping or sagging of the coating. Normally, a required 0.500 inch dry film coating thickness is accomplished by applying three wet coats of 0.255 inches. However, the thickness which can be safely applied in a single pass will depend on the temperature, humidity and other factors that are .best determined. on the jobsite.
12.'2. 3 Apply the material in smooth even passes, taking care to keep the spray gun fan pattern at a 90 degree angle whenever possible.
Reaching with a spray gun will cause the spray pattern to vary from the 90 degree angle and will result in a rougher surface than normal.
2-44
12.2.4 Take frequent, wet thickness measurements during the application using a penetration measuring device as shown in Figure 15 to ensure that the coating is being applied uniformly and at the required wet film thickness. These wet thickness checks shall be made every five (5) square feet or every two (2) running feet of coated surface area.
(Note: When taking measurements, allow for a shrinkage rate of circa 25X between the wet and the desired dry film coating thickness.)
12.2.5 Remove excess build up of coating material at edges and joints by brushing or rolling the surface with a damp sponge roller.
12.2.6 Spray edges of the substrate from each side'o cause the material to wrap around the edge. If the edge coating is not completely closed, use a wet roller or trowel to seal the edge surface.
12.2.7 Remove all runs, sags, drips or other surface imperfections before the material cures, using wet sponge rollers, brushes or hand trowels.
12.3 THERMO-LAG 330-1 Sublimin Material Trowel A lication 12.3.1 Trowel the material to a uniform thickness using moderate pressure and avoid overworking. The trowel should be wetted with water when a smooth finish is required.
12.4'. Dr Film Thickness Measurements 12.4.1 Take dry film thickness measurements after the applied material has cured. Measurement shall be made using electrical, penetrating or magnetic measuring instruments.
2-45
l3.0 REPAIR PROCEDURES The repair of a damaged section in a THERMO-LAG 330 Fire Barrier is easily accomplished by cutting out and removing the damaged material and then filling in the cut out section with new material.
The first step in this procedures is to remove the damaged and loose material using a knife and scraper. Care should be exercised that the damaged material is cut back until sound adhering material is reached.
The next step is to undercut the edges around the cut out section to form a beveled edge. All foreign matter is then removed from the exposed substrate surface in the cut out section.
Finally, the THERMO-LAG 330 Subliming Material is sprayed or troweled into the cut out section. If necessary, several coats can be applied to achieve the desired film thickness. Care should be taken to allow for shrinkage of the repair patch by building up a slight dome shape on the surface of the patch.

,Ce DESCRIPTION EXAMINATION OF MATERIALS:
The materials used in the test assembly are described below.
Column - The column used in the test assembly was a M10X228 steel section measur ing 8 ft, 3 in. long bet.ween the top and bottom concrete caps.
Primer The primer was a corrosion inhibiting modified alkyd primer manufactur ed by TSI, Inc.
Glass Fiber Gauze The glass fiber gauze was embedded in the mastic coating to provide reinforcement. The gauze was 12 in.
wide and weighed 1.70 oz per sq yd.
Mastic Sublimin Coatin The mastic subliming coating material was manufactur ed by TSI, Inc. and designated Thermo Lag Type 330. The coating material was supplied in 55 gal steel drums. The mastic coating is presently Classified by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. under Follow-Up Service. The composition and other propei ties of the mastic coating are considered proprietary and are on file at, the Laboratories.
PROTECTION OF TEST ASSEMBLY:
The steel column was protected by workmen in the employ of the submittor under the observation of members of the Laboratories'taff.
The column surfaces were wiped with a solvent to remove surface contaminates. The primer was sprayed onto the column using an air gun.
7he mastic coating, which was supplied in steel drums, was spray-applied to the column surfaces using equipment designed for such purposes.
File R6802-6A Page 2 Issued: 6-5-78 The masts coating was applied to the column in several coats at thicknesses of approximately 1/32 to 1/16 in. Each coat was allowed to become tacky before the following coat was applied.
After the coating had been sprayed to an approximate thickness of 13/32 in., the glass fiber gauze was pressed into the coating over the entire column with adjacent sections of the gauze overlapped 1 to 3 in. The gauze was lightly rolled with a paint roller.
Approximately 3/32 in. of additional coating was then applied to the column.
The coating was applied to a wet'ilm thickness of approximately 1/2 in. as determined by several measurements taken after spraying had been completed.
The wet and dry densities of the mastic subliming coating were determined by applying the material at a 'representative.
thickness to a 2 by 2 ft steel plate. The wet density was obtained by weighing the plate immediately after spraying and the dry density was.determined using the air dried constant weight of the steel plate and coating. The average wet and dry 'densities of the mastic coating were 85.8 and 61.2 pcf, respectively.
While the mastic coating material was curing, several in width from hairline to 1/8 in. formed at the crack'arying intersection of webs and flanges of the column. These cracks were ~
repaired nine days after the spraying had been completed.
The final dry film thickness of 15/32 in. was determined on the basis of 108 measurements taken on the column 40 days after the spraying had been completed and the material had dried at room temperature to a constant weight condition. Individual thickness readings varied from 11/32 to 19/32 in.
The appearance of the column assembly before the fire endurance test is shown on ILL. 2.
