SOMAY ® " HYCOTE"™ 151
A NON-TOXIC COATING SYSTEM FOR ABOVE AND BELOW WATER
SOMAY "HYCOTE" 151
is a two-part polyamine cured epoxy resin system that can be successfully applied in both fresh and seawater, as well as in air, above and below water and
through the splash zone, at one time, regardless of relative humidity."HYCOTE" 151 can be applied to steel, concrete and wood, above and below water, without the
need of a primer. "HYCOTE" 151 can be applied at a wide range of ambient temperatures using brush, roller,
power brush, power roller or a specially engineered Product Application Machine (PAM). "HYCOTE" 151 is a 100% solids coating, and presents no environmental hazard due to the
release of volatile solvents during cure. "HYCOTE" 151, once cured, is non-toxic and will not pollute. "HYCOTE" 151
cures with an exothermic reaction, expelling water from between the coating and the substrate, thus ensuring excellent adhesion. "HYCOTE" 151
is easily cleaned of marine growth with water jetting at approx. 8,000 P.S.I. "HYCOTE" 151 is not damaged by pressures up to 13,000 P.S.I. 
PRINCIPAL USES "HYCOTE" 151
offers superior long-term protection to a wide range of concrete and metal structures, including:
- Ships & other marine vessels (hulls, topside and holding tanks)
- Bridges
- Pilings
- Buoys
- Wharves
- Pulp Mills
- Sugar mills
- Concrete floors
- Pipelines
- Storage tanks
- Oil installations
- Off-shore oil platforms
- Industrial/petrochemical plants
When applied to concrete, "HYCOTE" 151 prevents ingress of chloride ions, carbon dioxide and other corrosive chemicals, thus inhibiting steel reinforcement corrosion.
"HYCOTE" 151, combined with suitable aggregate produces a heavy duty, non-slip floor coating possessing excellent adhesion, abrasion resistance and chemical resistance.
"HYCOTE" 151 is a recognized coating by Lloyd's Register of Shipping.

HEALTH & SAFETY DATA SURFACE PREPARATION
All surfaces to be coated must be thoroughly cleaned of grease, foreign matter, loose superficial material, and any contamination that would inhibit proper adhesion of the coating to the substrate. Steel
substrates should receive the very best preparation possible prior to coating, ideally, SSPC-SP-10 (SA 2.5; NACE 2) standard "Near White Metal Blast Cleaning" using abrasive
blasting or hydro-blasting. Where it is not possible to abrasive blast before coating, adequate performance may be obtained by very thorough power cleaning using an abrasive disc, needle
scaler or similar device. Wire brushing should be avoided, since that will polish contamination rather than remove it. Concrete
, cement and masonry substrates should be prepared by removal of laitance, and then etched by chemical (10% acid by volume) or mechanical means (dry or wet abrasive blast). Great
care is required when cleaning and painting old concrete. Anything other than light oil contamination is extremely difficult to remove completely and will seriously affect paint adhesion. Neither "HYCOTE" 151 nor any other protective coating should be applied over an existing unsound paint system.
PRIMERSIf the steel and concrete surfaces have been prepared to the recommended standard of
cleanliness, primers are neither required nor recommended, either above or below water.
METHODS OF APPLICATIONOn very large application projects, it is recommended that "HYCOTE" 151 be applied using a
specially engineered Product Application Machine (PAM). However, "HYCOTE" 151 may be applied by airless spray equipment or brush/roller. For brush/roller application, consult "HYCOTE" Application Instruction Brochure No. HS151-1. APPLICATION SPREADING RATES – THEORETICAL & PRACTICAL RATES

APPLICATION WORKING RATES
Below Waterline/Splash Zone
Ideal Conditions – Large JobOn a large "HYCOTE" 151 application project utilizing the Product Application Machine (PAM) and a power roller, and in ideal conditions, defined as clear, warm (77° F or 25°
C or warmer) water, applied to flat, smooth, continuous surfaces, with minimal water current; or the use of strategically placed baffles around the application zone to reduce water current to no more than approx. 1 knot
across the freshly applied paint; and application to a properly prepared surface with a minimum 3 mils (76.2 micron) profile, that has been sandblasted within a maximum of 30 minutes prior to application and
subsequently scrubbed with a liquid dishwashing detergent (e.g. Joy) and then rinsed; then the "HYCOTE" 151 Application Rate should be approximately 125 square feet (11.61 sq. meters) per hour. This is also
approximately the rate at which a sandblasting crew (normally 2 people) can sandblast the surface, so the "HYCOTE" 151 application crew and the sandblasting crew can work at approximately the same rate. MIXING INSTRUCTIONSThe melting point of "HYCOTE" 151
Part B is approx. 122° F. (50° C.), below which it will be hard in the can. To use Part B, loosen the lid on the can, place the can in a water bath, and heat the water (and thus Part B) above the melting point of 122° F. (50° C.), but do not exceed 160° F. (71° C.). Allow Part B to melt from a solid to a liquid. Stir occasionally while heating, to be sure the entire contents of the can are of uniform consistency. Once Part B becomes a liquid, it can be mixed with Part A.
The mixing of "HYCOTE" 151 Part A with Part B produces an exothermic (heat generating) chemical reaction. The smaller the quantity mixed together at one time, the less heat is
generated and the longer time you have to use the "HYCOTE" 151; conversely, the larger the quantity mixed together at one time, the more heat is generated, and the less time you have to use the
"HYCOTE" 151 In order to slow the exothermic (heat generating) chemical reaction when mixing Part A and Part B – (A) never mix together more material than you can use in a few (10 to 15) minutes; (B)
reduce the mass by spreading out the mixture in a large, shallow tray, rather than mixing it in a taller, narrower, more confined vessel; (C) put the mixing vessel with the mixture in it into an ice bath to lessen
the temperature of the mixture, which will slow the reaction time and give you a longer time to use the mixture before it starts to set-up and cure. Likewise, when working in a colder climate, a colder room,
in colder water, or on a cold surface, you will have a longer time to use the "HYCOTE" 151 mixture. POT LIFEThe Maximum Pot Life (i.e. the time to use the mixture of Part A and Part B) of "
HYCOTE" 151, based on an ambient temperature of 77° F. (25° C.) and only 16.9 fluid ounces = 500 milli-liters (approx. 1 pint) is: |

RECOMMENDED NUMBER OF COATSOne coat is recommended,
except where exceptionally corrosive environments will be experienced, e.g. chemical plants. In such cases consult SOMAY's Technical Director. RECOATING/OVERCOATING INTERVALThe recoating/overcoating interval varies
according to temperature and environment, although overcoating is possible within 36 hours of first coat application. The surface of the first coat must also be free of dirt, oils and algae growth
(underwater application). All other recoating/overcoating to be preceded by whip-blast and cleaning of original coat in order to obtain a good profile. Consult SOMAY's
Technical Director prior to recoating for longer interval durations and/or overcoating with any other material. THEORETICAL COVERAGE160 sq.ft./gal. (3.93 sq.m./l.) @ 10 mils (254 Microns) dry film thickness (DFT).
PRACTICAL COVERAGE128 sq.ft./gal.
(3.14 sq.m./l) @ 10 mils dry film thickness (DFT) based on an approximate 20% loss due to wastage and overspray. Note: Wet film thickness equals dry film thickness (DFT).
