LS-2001 BASECOAT

PR O D U C T PR O F I L E
ICAT LS-2001 BASECOAT is a two component,
100% solids epoxy coating system which may be EX C E L L E N T Adhesion to Steel
applied directly to steel. It exhibits excellent adhesion
SU P E R I O R Cathodic Disbondment Resistance
and immersion service properties, and provides full
resistance to cathodic disbondment.

ICAT LS-2001 BASECOAT is a strong resilient

protective coating that is designed as a lining for cathodically protected steel surfaces. It is spray applied
with plural component airless pumps at a film thickness up to 40 mils in one application. ICAT LS-2001
BASECOAT provides the film thickness necessary to provide monolithic membrane protection to the
substrate while providing outstanding adhesion. ICAT LS-2001 BASECOAT is fully VOC compliant and
is virtually odourless during and after application. Its solventless formulation eliminates shrinkage of the
film and promotes faster cure and turnaround times.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS:
 Field Joints for FBE Coated Pipe
 Pipeline Rehabilitation

SURF AC E PR EP AR A T IO N:
Metal surfaces are recommended to be cleaned to an SSPC-SP10 standard using an abrasive sandblast to
remove rust, scale, grease, dirt, debris and other contaminants. The anchor profile for surface preparation
must be a minimum of 2.5 mils (65 microns).

AP P LI C AT I O N PRO C E DU RE S:

1) Store all materials in accordance with the manufacturers written recommendations. All
materials shall be thoroughly mixed prior to application. Failure to do so may diminish the
quality of the coating.

2) The surface shall be abrasive blasted to near white metal using a suitable abrasive such as silica
sand or nickel slag.

3) LS-2001 BASECOAT Parts A & B shall be preheated to > 40 C under agitation to facilitate transfer to
the proportioning pumps.

4) LS-2001 BASECOAT Parts A & B shall be proportioned at a ratio of 3:1 using a Graco Hydracat or
equivalent. The temperature shall be raised to 65C using an inline heater. Pipe diameter and ambient
conditions will affect the tip size and spray pressure required. Consult your ICAT Technical representative
for recommendations.

5) Holiday testing may be performed when the coating is tack free. Destructive testing should be
performed after the coating has had at least 24 hours at 25C to cure.
 SU B S T R A T E TE M P E R A T U R E :
Minimum recommended: 15C Maximum recommended: 60 C E

o
Note: The substrate must remain at least 3 C above the dewpoint and free from moistureo during all
coating procedures. For steel substrates, the substrate temperature must remain at least 3 C above
dewpoint during all surface preparation procedures as well in order to prevent flash rusting.
