Tile-Clad HS Catalyzed Epoxy (B62-100 Series)

Tile-Clad® High Solids is designed for use in industrial maintenance environments and high-performance architectural applications.

Material Name:

Tile-Clad® HS Catalyzed Epoxy (B62-100 Series)

Material Use:

Tile-Clad® HS is a high-performance, two-component epoxy-polyamide coating designed for industrial maintenance and architectural applications. It provides excellent chemical resistance, impact and abrasion resistance, and is suitable for use in USDA-inspected facilities. This product is not intended for immersion service but is ideal for environments requiring durable, protective finishes such as power plants, laboratories, institutional kitchens, manufacturing facilities, and marine environments (above waterline only).

System Components:

Tile-Clad® HS is a catalyzed epoxy system consisting of two pre-measured components mixed in a 1:1 ratio by volume:

- Part A: Base (e.g., Extra White B62WZ0111)

- Part B: Hardener (e.g., B60VZ0070)

Optional additives:

- Quik-Kick Epoxy Accelerator (for faster cure times)

- Tinting with GIC, Maxitoner, or BAC into Part A (up to 200% SherColor)

Applications:

Tile-Clad® HS is suitable for application on a variety of substrates including:

- Steel

- Galvanized and Aluminum surfaces

- Concrete and Masonry (smooth and block)

- Wood (interior, including floors)

- Drywall

Application Details:

- Application Methods: Airless spray, brush, or roller

- Recommended Wet Film Thickness: 4.0–7.0 mils

- Recommended Dry Film Thickness: 2.1–3.6 mils

- Coverage: 231–397 sq. ft. per gallon (based on 52% volume solids)

- Theoretical Coverage: 834 sq. ft. per gallon @ 1 mil DFT

- Pot Life: 4 hours at 77°F (shorter at higher temperatures)

- Sweat-In Time: 30 minutes at 77°F

- Dry to Touch: 1 hour at 77°F

- Tack Free: 2 hours at 77°F

- Recoat Window: Minimum 2 hours, Maximum 30 days at 77°F

- Full Cure: 14 days at 77°F

- Application Temperature Range: 55°F to 110°F (air, surface, and material)

- Relative Humidity Limit: Maximum 85%

- Must be applied at least 5°F above dew point

- Not UV stable – will chalk and fade in exterior exposure unless topcoated

Primers and System Use:

Tile-Clad® HS is used in combination with specific primers depending on the substrate:

- Steel: 1 coat Pro Industrial Pro-Cryl Primer or Kem Bond HS, followed by 1–2 coats of Tile-Clad® HS

- Aluminum: 1 coat Pro Industrial DTM Wash Primer, followed by 2 coats of Tile-Clad® HS

- Galvanized Steel: 2 coats of Tile-Clad® HS (test patch recommended if chromates/silicates are present)

- Concrete Block (CMU): 1 coat Pro Industrial Heavy Duty Block Filler, followed by 2 coats of Tile-Clad® HS

- Smooth Concrete and Masonry: 2 coats of Tile-Clad® HS (ensure surface is cured and cleaned)

- Drywall: 1 coat ProMar 200 Zero VOC Primer, followed by 2 coats of Tile-Clad® HS

- Wood (Interior): 2 coats of Tile-Clad® HS (self-priming)

Special Notes:

- All epoxies, including Tile-Clad® HS, will chalk and fade when exposed to UV light. A UV-stable topcoat is recommended for exterior applications where aesthetics are important.

- Excessive film build, poor ventilation, or cool temperatures may lead to solvent entrapment and premature coating failure.

- Ensure proper surface preparation per SSPC standards for each substrate to ensure optimal adhesion and performance.

- Not compliant with VOC regulations in certain regions (e.g., OTC, CARB, SCAQMD).

- Clean tools and equipment immediately after use with compliant solvent cleaners.

- Do not apply during foggy weather or immediately after rain. Ensure surfaces are dry and free of contaminants.

This material is best used as part of a protective coating system for industrial and commercial environments where chemical resistance and durability are required. It pairs well with Sherwin-Williams primers and fillers to form a complete system tailored to the substrate and environmental conditions.
