SXA 110 STIX Bonding Primer (SXA-110)

Urethane acrylic bonding primer VOC Compliant Low Temperature 35°F application COMPARE TO XIM Unparalleled Adhesion

STIX Waterborne Bonding Primer is a premium quality, acrylic / urethane primer-sealer designed with a unique "Step Change Technology" that delivers unparalleled adhesion to the most challenging surfaces,such as........ PVC, Vinyl, Plastic, Glass, Tile, Glazed Block, Glossy Paints, Pre-Coated Siding, Fiberglass, and Galvanized Metals. STIX is also ideal for use on plaster, drywall, wood, and non-ferrous metals, where a low ambient or surface temperatures present a problem for conventional primers. It cures in temperatures as low as 35 F and offers an extremely hard film when cured. Use STIX on interior and exterior surfaces and topcoat with almost any type of coating including Alkyd, Acrylic Latex, Urethane, Epoxy, and Lacquer Finishes.

Save Time and Money with Great Lakes Laboratories' Preps and Cleaners

No Rinse Prepaint Cleaner

Great Lakes Laboratories’ No Rinse Prepaint Cleaner cuts cleaning costs by eliminating the final rinsing of the cleaned surface before coating application. In field use, No Rinse Prepaint Cleaner has delivered superior cleaning performance and surface adhesion characteristics. The rapid drying time after cleaning permits quick coating application. This saves the downtime costs involved in closing all or part of a facility during the cleaning operation. In many cases the coating can be applied before the scaffolding has to come down to accommodate personnel or to be moved to another location.

Product Description
No Rinse Prepaint Cleaner is a concentrated alkaline detergent blend specially developed to reduce cleaning time and water use by eliminating the rinsing step.

Once soil has been removed from the surface by spraying, wiping, air-lancing or vacuuming, a water rinse of the cleaned surface is not required before coating, sealing or staining.

This is possible because No Rinse Prepaint Cleaner does not leave a soapy residue or film which could impair coating adhesion.

No Rinse Prepaint Cleaner is effective across a wide range of soil types and may be used before applying water-borne coatings and sealants.

Advantages

• No Rinse Prepaint Cleaner cuts cleaning costs by eliminating the final rinsing of the cleaned surface before coating application.
• In field use, No Rinse Prepaint Cleaner has delivered superior cleaning performance and surface adhesion characteristics.
• The rapid drying time after cleaning, usually less than 30 minutes, permits quick coating application. This saves the downtime costs involved in closing all or part of a facility during the cleaning operation.
• In many cases the coating can be applied before the scaffolding has to come down to accommodate personnel or to be moved to another location. No Rinse Prepaint Cleaner has a very slight, mild odor in its concentrated form. When diluted, it is virtually odorless.
• No Rinse Prepaint Cleaner performs effectively through a broad temperature range, mixes readily with water and is safe to use near vegetation.

Uses

• Prepaint Cleaning
  Cleaning before applying coatings or sealants including, elastomeric, epoxy, urethane, acrylic and powder coat systems.
• Rust Inhibition
  Neutralizing acid residue before applying a coating, sealant or stain.
• Other
  Removal of wallpaper and paste residue. Carpet Cleaning.

All Purpose Prepaint Degreaser

Product Description
All Purpose Prepaint Degreaser is an industrial grade, water-reducible, alkaline detergent developed especially for cleaning tasks requiring the safe removal of oils, greases, fats and carbon deposits. The advanced combination of wetting and penetrating agents offers superior cleaning, degreasing and surface preparation results. This water-based product can be used in place of petroleum and chlorinated solvents.

Advantages

• All Purpose Prepaint Degreaser cuts, lifts and strips away tough, oily soils. After rinsing, the cleaned surfaces are film-free and provide superior adhesion for new coatings and sealants.
• All Purpose Prepaint Degreaser is not an emulsifying cleaner. Oily contaminants in collected solutions will float to the surface and can be skimmed off reducing hazardous disposal costs significantly. The remaining oil-free solution is reusable.
• All Purpose Prepaint Cleaner is odorless, requires no unreasonable safety equipment and performs effectively through a broad temperature range. It mixes readily in water and is safe to use near vegetation.

Uses

• Prepaint Cleaning
  Heavy-duty degreasing before applying coatings or sealants including, elastomeric, epoxy, urethane, acrylic and latex systems. Especially effective in cleaning floors and steam cleaning applications.
• Rust Inhibition
  Application immediately after dry blasting or injected during wet blasting of steel will provide short-term rust inhibition of steel surfaces.
• Other
  Removes oxidation stains on factory finish aluminum. Removes acrylic floor finishes.

Other products include Clean ‘n Etch and Extra Muscle Prepaint Cleaner.

CHANGE YOUR TOOL, CHANGE YOUR MIND.

Discover the tool that is convincing everyone – rounder is better! The Radius 360° is a revolutionary drywall sanding tool, with unique side-to-side, up and down, and circular mobility. The Radius 360° features a full 9” diameter, die-cast aluminum head that makes fast work of large surface areas. The round design virtually eliminates flipping and the associated surface scratching and gouging.

The ability to change directions quickly without having to lift the pad off the wall is a huge advantage over the conventional method of sanding drywall. The detachable foam disc forms to the wall, providing a smooth, even finish. Unlike the conventional sand pole, this foam disc wears evenly, greatly increasing the life of the tool. Both the foam pad and the sandpaper utilize hook-and-loop backing, making for easy replacement. Loop backed sandpaper firmly attaches to the foam disc, preventing debris from collecting behind the sandpaper, and eliminating a major cause of streaking.

Sanding with the Radius 360° is up to three times faster than using a conventional sand pole, with consistently superior results.

Features of the Radius 360°

• No flipping, skipping or scratching!
• 9” head covers large areas quickly.
• Round, pliable foam disc forms perfectly to the contours of curved surfaces such as barrel vaults, arches and domes.
• Eliminates hand sanding on 90° inside corners and the associated streaking from the hand-held sponge.
• It’s easy! Hook-and-loop backing makes for quick replacement of your disc.
• Disc wears evenly and lasts longer.
• Hook-and-loop backing prevents debris from collecting behind the sandpaper, preventing uneven sanding.
• Perfect for sanding in between coats.
• Up to three times faster than a conventional sanding pole, with better results.

Eliminate the Guesswork of Early Spring Applications

The “Heat Seeker” Infrared Thermometer

Now you can eliminate the guesswork when testing surface temperatures for early spring and late season exterior painting and concrete floor applications.

The new IRT206 "Heat Seeker™" is a precision measuring device used for obtaining accurate temperatures instantaneously without having to contact the object being measured. It works by capturing and measuring the invisible infrared energy naturally emitted from all objects.

The "Heat Seeker" offers an easy method to measure temperatures of surfaces to be coated. You’ll know if it is safe to proceed with the application, especially in early spring and late fall projects.

The “Heat Seeker” has a rugged, ergonomic design and features a backlit LCD display with built-in laser sighting. The IRT206 utilizes a switchable on/off laser pointer for target location. The practical distance-to-spot ratio of 8:1 is suitable for most commercial applications.
