AIM #1 is a liquid applied urethane coating that forms a very tough, high performance barrier.  It is used as a coating to protect and waterproof concrete gulleys, docks and marinas, tile and concrete pipes, chemical safety dikes and wash-out  basins.  AIM #1 cures to a rubber-like finish that possesses excellent elasticity and will resist attack from the environment and from exposure to a wide variety of industrial chemicals.

 

The physical structure of AIM #1 consists of layers of micaceous iron oxide (a metal flake-like substance) cemented by urethane polymer to form a barrier matrix that is extremely tough and damage resistant. AIM #1 may be used as a dimensional basecoat to a traffic bearing topcoat or as a buried membrane beneath pavers or other surfaces.

 

OUTSTANDING FEATURES:              

§         Can be used over concrete, masonry, steel, copper, aluminum, asphalt, rubber and other surfaces

§         Produces a fully adhered, seamless, high density, waterproofing membrane

§         Resistant to attack from most industrial chemicals, including acids, alkalis, and hydrocarbon soil pollutants

§         Protects substrate against corrosion and environmental attack

§         May be easily applied without special equipment

§         May be used on vertical, pitched and horizontal surfaces

§         Possesses superior thermal shock resistance

§         Remains flexible, tough and weatherproof

§         Rapidly develops high tensile strength and elongation

§         May be combined with Oz Catalyst for extra thick film cure or Andek Accelerator for super fast cure

§         Will not become brittle and crack with age or become soft and deformed

§         Warrantied for 10 years or 20 years as a buried membrane

APPLICATION:                                                                                                                         Caution! READ THIS ENTIRE PRODUCT DATA SHEET BEFORE CONTINUING.    

                                                                               

All surfaces to be treated must be clean, dry and free of all loose debris, oil, grease and any other substance that would interfere with proper bond. A careful inspection of the surface should be made to detect any signs of damage or defects and all repairs should be completed before application may proceed.  Once preparation is completed, AIM #1 may be applied straight from the container after 3 minutes of low speed mechanical stirring.  AIM #1 may be applied using a brush, roller or airless spray technique at a wet film thickness of 30 mils.  Andek recommends, in areas where reinforcement fabric is required, that Roofab (a specialty polyester fabric) be used. The fabric should be encapsulated between two coats of AIM #1 at a rate of 3 to 4 gallons per 100 square feet overall.  Equipment may be cleaned after use with xylene or toluene before AIM #1 begins to dry. dry.                                                                                                                  

                  

MAINTENANCE:                                                   

Repair any damaged areas by following the instructions in the Application section of this data sheet. sheet.  

                                                                                                                                   

LIMITATIONS:

Protect AIM #1 from direct sunlight.  This product is a moisture curing urethane and is packaged in specially sealed air tight containers.  If damaged, air and moisture may enter the container and cause premature curing.  Cure time is 24 hours at 70°F

(70% R.H.).

 

PRECAUTIONS:

Warning!  This product is combustible.  Avoid sparks and open flames.  Use only in a well ventilated area.  Contains solvent and reactive isocyanate groups.  Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing.  Wear chemical splash goggles, coveralls and rubber gloves when handling this product.  Inhalations should be avoided.  Persons with known respiratory allergies should avoid exposure to this product.  For contact with skin or eyes, flush with clear water for 15 minutes.  In case of inhalation, ingestion, or in the event of eye contact, seek immediate medical attention.  Persons with known respiratory allergies should avoid exposure to this product. For contact with skin or eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes.  In case of inhalation, ingestion or in the event of eye contact, seek immediate medical attention.
