2650 EIFS Protective Clear Coat

Description
2650 EIFS Protective Clear Coat is a unique water based protective material primarily for use on EIFS surfaces. ShoreBest should be consulted if application to non-EIFS surfaces is being considered. 2650 is used as received and should not be diluted if the full anti-graffiti performance is required. 2650 can be diluted with up to one part water to provide a water repellent treatment but not anti-graffiti protection. Spraying is the best means of application. Back rolling with a saturated, half inch nap roller is recommended to work the material into the pores for maximum coverage. Do not roll out to dryness. This is most important on highly textured finishes. Coverage should average 200 or more square feet per gallon on most EIFS surfaces. A test area should be done prior to the project start to determine consumption and appearance. Some surfaces will show slight color enhancement after the coating dries. A minimum of five days curing is required for full graffiti protection. 2650 will hinder the adhesion of standard EIFS repair/refinishing paints so touchup work should be done prior to application of 2650. Likewise the EIFS surface should be cleaned prior to treatment with 2650.

Preparation & Applications
Apply 2650 to properly cleaned and dry surfaces only. Protect all non EIFS surfaces from dripping or over spray. Provide protection for windows, foliage, adjacent surfaces that are not to receive treatment, vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Take precautions to protect other surfaces from wind drift. Using the method to be used on the project, apply a test area of 10 square feet to calculate the coverage rate per gallon and to determine if there will be any unacceptable color change. A flood coat spray application is highly recommended but roller applications can be successful as long as there is a sufficient amount of solids deposited on the surface to meet performance standards. Apply with a coarse low pressure spray creating a saturating 4 to 6 inch run down of the fluid. For some coarse finishes, a spray and back roll with a one half inch nap roller that is saturated with 2650 may be the best means of application to avoid streaks. Clean application equipment with soap and water immediately after usage.

Limitations
All EIFS surfaces must be free of any agent or agents that will prevent adhesion of the coating. Application should not be undertaken when rain is eminent within 12 hours or if there is frost or ice on the surface. The best results are obtained when surface and ambient temperatures are 40 degrees and rising. Do not alter the product with any other material. 2650 EIFS Protective Clear Coat is not acceptable for application over other anti graffiti treatments or non standard EIFS coatings. If the coating comes in contact with window glass or other non EIFS surfaces, remove immediately with a water soaked rag or pressure washer. 2650 applications may cause a slight color enhancement of some surfaces. Testing is recommended, prior to the start of a project, to determine if there are any appearance changes that are unacceptable. Graffiti removal agents, other than 2660 EIFS Graffiti Remover, may cause damage to the 2650 treatment and or the underlying EIFS system. Repainting with EIFS paints may not be possible without removing the 2650 EIFS Protective Clear Coat.

Safety
All applicators must wear OSHA or NIOSH recommended protective equipment. 2650 EIFS Protective Clear Coat contains silicone resins that should not be inhaled or ingested. Keep out of the reach of children. Do not smoke, eat or drink during application. Refer to the proper MSDS Sheet for persons exposed to or reacting to the product.
