1045. 2(c) 1045. 2(d) as follows:

1.General. An epoxy -type base polymer, thermosetting resin as follows:

• Composed of 100% reactive constituents (condensation products of the reaction of epichlorohydrin with bisphenol A).

• Essentially pure, diglycidyl -ether of bisphenol A, containing no more than trace amounts of hydrolyzable chlorine.

• Epoxide equivalent between 465 and 530.

• Reacting system consisting of a blend of condensation polymers of dimerized and trimerized unsaturated, fatty -acids and an aliphatic polyamine.

• Pigmentation added so the cured coating conforms to the Federal Color Standard 595, and as indicated.

• Nonskid material added, if directed.

2.Physical Requirements of the Mixed Epoxy System.

• Viscosity . 300 centipoises to 700 centipoises at 72F

• Pot Life . A minimum of 7 hours at 75F

• Minimum solids content . 48%

• A cured system that does not exhibit amine blushing or sweating.

When the pigmented finished coats are tested for abrasion, according to ASTM D968 , a minimum of 25 L of sand is required to abrade a one-mil thickness of coating. A 2 1/2-mil dry film thickness of the coating, tested by ASTM D522 , is required to pass a 1/8 -inch diameter mandrel test, without splitting the film or causing loss of bond.

3.Sampling. A representative sample of each component will be taken for the required tests, either

from a well-blended bulk lot, before packaging or by withdrawing thief samples from no less than 5% of the containers comprising the lot or shipment. Unless the samples show evidence of variability, they may be blended into a single composite sample to represent that compone nt. Packaged materials may be sampled by random selection of containers or each component from each lot. The entire lot of both components may be reje cted if samples fail to meet any specified requirements.

4.Packaging and Marking . Furnish the two components in separate containers that are nonreactive

with the contained materials. If directed, provide a container size so the recommended final mixture proportions can be obtained by combining one container of a component with one or mo re containers of the other component. Have containers marked as base polymer and reacting system, showing the mixing directions and usable temperature range. Have each container marked with the name of the manufacturer, the lot or batch number, the date of packaging, pigmentation, if any, and the quantity in pounds and gallons. Indicate the potential hazards on the package, according to the Federal Hazardous Products Labeling Act.

5.Certification. Certify as specified in Section 106.03(b)3. Provide either a copy of the manufacturer's

dated test report or a st
