  • Page 6: Preface

    The installation of the THERMO-LAG 3000 Fire Barrier System shall be performed only by contractor personnel trained or qualified by CARBOLINE in the installation of the materials.

  • Page 7: Safety Precautions

    Safety Precautions THERMO-LAG 3000 Bulk Grade Material weighs approximately 10.5 - 11.5 pounds per gallon. Caution should be taken when lifting and moving the material to prevent injury Observe the National Spray Equipment Manufacturers Association precautions for spraying. DO NOT point spray gun at any part of the human body.

  • Page 8: General Conditions

    STORAGE THERMO-LAG 3000 not in immediate use shall be stored off the ground in a covered area assigned for that purpose. The materials in storage shall be protected from temperatures above 100˚F (38˚C) and below 32˚F (0˚C).

  • Page 9: Protection Of Adjacent Surfaces

    Prior to use with plural component equipment, THERMO-LAG 3000 A shall be heated to a minimum of 100˚F (38˚C). Prior to use with plural or single component equipment, THERMO-LAG 3000 SA shall be heated to a minimum of 70˚F (21˚C) and a maximum of 110˚F (43˚C).

  • Page 10: High Temp Mesh

    Every Applicator shall obtain a parts list and/or manual from the manufacturer for the proper operation of the equipment and its maintenance. Any company which has not utilized the specific pump prior to applying THERMO-LAG 3000 shall be trained in the proper operation of the pump by the pump manufacturer.

  • Page 11: Equipment Startup Procedure

    If ratio is still not correct, inspect equipment and pump packings and replace if needed. Repeat the above procedure until a 1:1 ratio is achieved. CARBOLINE requires that when using plural component pumps, which have holding tanks and recirculation capabilities, the material shall not be recirculated more than one time, and the temperature of the holding tanks shall not exceed 140˚F (60˚C).

  • Page 12: Single Component Equipment For Thermo-Lag 3000 Sa

    Refer to CARBOLINE‘s application instructions for complete requirements, which can be found in this manual. Note: THERMO-LAG 3000-SP must be thinned up to 3% with Toluene or Plasite Thinner #19 only. Thinning the material will increase the pot life of the material, however it will slow the curing process.

  • Page 13: Preparations Prior To Thermo-Lag Application

    When selecting a cleaning method the primer manufacturer’s and project recommendations must be adhered to. When it is necessary to clean the surface of THERMO-LAG 3000 before applying a further coat or top coating, solvent wiping with Toluene or Plasite Thinner #19 is recommended.

  • Page 14: Surface Preparation Where An Existing / Non-Approved Primer Was Installed

    Contact CARBOLINE for the current list of acceptable wet blast type primers. No wet blast system shall be used without first consulting with CARBOLINE prior to start up of the project. GALVANIZED SURFACE PREPARATION Galvanizing requires a roughened surface for optimum adhesion/performance of high build epoxies.

  • Page 15: Thermo-Lag 3000 Application Procedures

    85°F (29°C) 95°F (35°C) 110°F (43°C) If the overcoat time has been exceeded, the surface of the THERMO-LAG 3000 must be reactivated as described below: The actual production work must follow, and conform to the approved finish / surface quality established by the site sample.

    INSTALLATION OF MESH ON STRUCTURAL STEEL I & H SECTIONS After the first coat of THERMO-LAG 3000 has been applied, the mesh is placed in position as detailed in certification or approval documentation. See Appendix C. Ensure that the proper mesh reinforcement is utilized based on the project specific UL or Intertek Design i.e.

    1” (25mm) on all seams. FINAL THERMO-LAG 3000 APPLICATION After the mesh has been installed, apply THERMO-LAG 3000 to the final required thickness in as many coats as is necessary. Any overcoating shall be done within 72 hours of the prior coat.

  • Page 18: Topcoating

    Owner and Main Contractor. REMOVAL AND REPAIR PROCEDURES REMOVAL The preferred method is to cut through the THERMO-LAG 3000 at right angles to the substrate with a disc saw around the area to be removed. Make sure that the steel substrate is not damaged.

  • Page 19: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION THERMO-LAG 3000 lends itself to being a material which can be applied off site and later shipped to the job site. This allows for a more consistent application of the material off site and elimination of interference with other trades which may affect application flow. When this type of application is performed, contact CARBOLINE for advice.

  • Page 20: Swing Radius

    Avoid using chokers against fireproofed surfaces. Wherever possible, add erection tabs or bolt holes at the beam ends to allow top rigging without using chokers around the fireproofing. Follow all site specific safety standards for handling structural steel. 8.5.1 SWING RADIUS Where infill beams use framing angles, the erector must be aware of the swing radius of the member impacting the fireproofing.
