Key Features and Benefits of Hydroplate 1086
Hydroplate 1086 stands out with its ultra-low VOC (0.52 lbs/gal) and HAPs-free formulation, ensuring compliance
with environmental regulations like SCAQMD standards. Its self-priming nature eliminates the need for additional
primers, while offering excellent thermal shock and abrasion resistance for enhanced durability in water
systems.
Benefits include certification to NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and 600 for potable water safety, adherence to AWWA C210 and
D102 systems, and suitability for moderate wastewater environments. This coating’s high solids content (86% by
volume) provides a robust barrier, making it a top choice for corrosion-resistant coatings in water
infrastructure projects.
- NSF/ANSI 61 & 600 Certified: Ensures safe potable water contact.
- Low VOC & HAPs-Free: Environmentally friendly with minimal emissions.
- Versatile Application: Ideal for steel, concrete, and ductile iron substrates.

How to Install Hydroplate 1086: A Step-by-Step Guide
Installing Hydroplate 1086 is a streamlined process, suitable for professionals and requiring standard
application tools. This installation guide for epoxy lining ensures optimal performance in water infrastructure
projects.
- Surface Preparation: Clean and dry surfaces; abrade steel to SSPC-SP10/NACE No. 2 (2-3.5
mil profile) or concrete to ICRI CSP 2-5.
- Mixing: Combine Part A and B in a 2:1 ratio with a 15-minute induction time; pot life is
1.25 hours at 75°F.
- Application: Apply via brush, roller, or spray at 4-10 mils DFT per coat (max 20 mils
total).
- Curing: Allow 24 hours for recoating; full cure in 7 days at 77°F. Return to potable water
service in 7-14 days.
