  • Description

  • UC 617 is a low viscosity, solvent containing polyurethane pre-polymer than has been enriched with zinc powder and flow agents.
  • The product is applied to metal surfaces where it acts as a passivating coating.
  • Product Application

    UC 617 should be applied to exposed reinforcing bar, angle iron, metal structures, etc. as an anti-corrosion coating.

    Surface Preparation

  • All surfaces to be clean sound and dry.
  • Shot blast steel to SA 2.5. Remove all traces of rust, mill scale, and dirt from the surfaces to be coated.
  • Ensure that the contents of the tin are mixed prior to use by using a slow speed electric drill fitted with a flat mixing paddle.
  • As the binder reacts with atmospheric moisture, be sure to seal the container after pouring out the desired quantity.
  • Application

  • Apply by brush or roller to the prepared surfaces and allow to settle and cure.
  • Top or intermediate coat must be applied between 12 and 24 hours after primer is applied.
  • Cleaning

    Clean all tools and equipment immediately after use with UC 901, as the cured material is very difficult to remove.

    Safety

  • Contact with the skin should be avoided by wearing gloves, eye protection and protective clothing.
  • In case of eye contact wash well and obtain medical advice.
  • Use only in well ventilated areas.
  • The product is flammable, and care must be taken to remove all possible sources of ignition.

  • NOTE:
  • Zinc reacts with moisture with the subsequent release of hydrogen gas. Do not expose the uncured product to liquid water in a work or fire situation as evolved hydrogen will combust if ignited.
