Basically there w three type* of asphalt mastics used In the Insulation (Md. They art wmrtfJy danifierf K mutton, aokrant cutback, or chemical dispersion type*. The thinning agent or dkpersion chemical determines which bask classification win b given $ particular product, and dictates tha and use of the resuftam produet.
It k important to know which thinning agent k used to determine tha useful qualities of a particularly blended asphalt mastic. Tha quality and/or type of bask asphalt datarminas ft* service lempertttft of tha product involved.
WATER EMULSION ASPHALT MASTICS
Tha watar emulsion type of asphalt weather coating auch as Thermal Coat, k normally a bland of
petroleum asphalt, asbestos fiber and Bentonite day. emulsified in water.
.
Water emulsions art primarily used as a breathing mettle, La^ tt auftabla pressure k built up beneath itx
surface, moisture peasant will pass trough to the etmosph*#. However, atmospheric precaurt k normally
not sufficient to pat* moistura back through to the insulation, except, of course, on low tamparatury work!
In this case, a vapor barrier type mastic such as Ourisaal h essential.
.
Summer grade water emulsions, becuate of the watar present, wftt freeze and should be protected at all times prior to and during application. Alcohol is usually added to Winter grade emulsions. Tha amount used determines the resistance to freezing of the resultant product. Watar emuWorn dsoutd always be stored and used at temperatures above freezing in any event A watar emulsion diet has bean frozen k useless and wilt "alligator** if appliad.
Watar emulsions uxuslly are suitable only for trowel application and are used wherever a breathing mastic k
required. Because they lack tKe adhesive Qualities and resiliency of a outbade type mastic, they rftould be
mechanically bonded to poultry netting except on extremely small surfaces* They should be used in
conjunction with a cutback or dispersion type flashing compound. Water emulsions can only be repaired
with such types of mastics since they do not bond to themselves, tt h imperative that they be repaired as
soon as possible if a break in tht applied surface should occur to insure anics Ufa of tha product. % *
Thermal Cost may be applied at temperatures up to 200#F. and wilt withstand a maximum temperature of
45C*F. after drying.
.
CAUTION:
Water emulsions are soluble in water and should not be appliad if there b a possibility of rain washing the product within twelve hours of the initial application time. Keep Winter Grade abort 20 F.
CHEMICAL DISPERSION TYPE ASPHALT MASTICS .
`
Chemical dispersion type asphalt mastics, such as PERMISEAL, incorporate a unique combination of the desirable qualities of the watar emulsion and cutback types. They normally^ consist of petroleum asphalt dispersed in a non-flammable chemical with suitable fillers, blended m one consistency tillable for brvdt, trowel or spray applications. Containing non-flammable solvents, they are fire-sale for use around open flame, welding torches and similar hazardous job conditions. They have the breathing characteristic of a watar emulsion for a period of sixty to ninety days after application. This controlled curing process prevents shrinkage of the airface film and permits trapped moisture to eseape. The result k a flexible, blister free, vapor teal type coating of exccptioAaf toughness. A good chemical dispersion product is net affected by freezing and mists most Kids and alkalies. However, solubility in water is a factor, depending upon humidity conditions, for a period of eight to twelve hours or longer after applkatkn. The anodiiing and rust inhibiting agents contained in PERMISEAL make this product excellent for metal protection purposes. PERMISEAL has a useful service temperature up to 30Q*F. and a maximum of 40G*F.
CAUTION:
Okpersion Type mastics should be treated the same as water emulsion types, in that they should not be applied if there b a danger of rain washing within eight to twelve hours of tha application time. Under proper temperature and humidity conditions. PERMISEAL will be dry to touch in four hours or Ian.

HOW TO APPLY
1. Each SO# bag should be mixed with (2 gallons 1100 lbs.) of fresh water.
2. After thoroughly mixing. Stie-Tite can be applied immediately, but better results can be obtained by
allowing it to soak for at (east a half hour or longer.

3. AH surfaces to be covered dtoufd ba fra* of paint, dust, dirt and grease.
4. Houghing coats can ba applied by hand or trowel or combination of hand and trowel.
5. If hot surfaces are to bt insulated with StieTita, the material should be spotted in place with a
trowel and dragged down to a feather edge. The spotted material will dry quickly ond then a rough
coat about 1" thick can be applied over and between the ^ots.
.
6. On cote* surfaces for covering up to 1*1ITT thick, after being mixed according to directions on the bag. Stic-Tita should be applied by spreading ft over tht surface to as mren a thickness ss possible.
After the rough coat has dried out, e fWrfi coat up to 1/7* thick can bt applied over the rough surface and finidted with a trowel to a smooth, attractive finish. Stie-Titt can be used up to M/2** thick without reinforcing.
7. For covering over 1-1/2** thick, apply a rough coat about 1** thick. When rough coat is dry apply another 1** coat and continut until desired thickness is obtained. Each coat should be dried before additional coats are applied. Prior to application of flnidt coat, we recommend reinforcing with #20 gauge 2" mesh chicken wire.
S. Finish coats should be applied from 1/4" to 1/2" thick, troweled to a smooth, hard finish. Where desired, Stk-Tite finish can be painted. Best results are obtained by painting with a glue siting end paint over this,

SUPER 711 is a versatile material for many types of insulation requirements. Applied over block or blan ket insulations, it fills open joints and provides a mono* Uthic surface for whatever type of subsequent finish Is specified. Its plastic flexibility permits application directly to regular or curved surfaces ** such as valves, fittings, tanks and vessels.
EASY TO APPLY
*
tPER 711 has excellent adhesive qualities. Its increased stiekabftlty means a -<tter job in less time, from wet to dry. Will not slip or roll under trowel appli cation and may be easily gun applied. This superior workability is a result of fine mineral nodules, special manufacturing methods and quality control.
MAXIMUM COVERAGE - LOW SHRINKAGE
SUPER 711 Insulating Cement assures maximum coverage and low shrinkage. The resilient nodules of mineral fiber do not collapse when mixed with water. See table of Physical Properties for coverage.

A* Surface Preparation
1. Remove dirt, scale or loose paint from the surface to be treated, then apply rust preventative paint or coating when specified.
2. For trowel applications to columns and beams, form 3/2" rib lath (or paper-backed lath) to box-in the member. Apply rib*lath with ribs
turned in and spanned from flange to flange. On members 14" and ` larger, first weld 1/4" rods across the flanges approximately 12" to U" on centers to provide additional support for the lath. Secure the
lath in place with wire or bands. For gun application, use 2 x 2 #16 paper-backed*lath such as Steeltex.
a) Provide 2"firestopi on columns at 6* to 12* intervals (or as other
wise specified). Form the metal lath into a horixontal shelf ex
tending to and supported at the web. Apply F*yroseat 2'* thick in
the opening. Provide similar stops at the top elevation of the fire
proofing.
.
b) Plasterer's corner bead may be wired to the metal lath, forming and supporting it to attain the total Pyroseat thickness specified.
Corner bead shall be of the type having open-mesh legs to ftcili. tate complete filling of the corners. The corner bead may be
spaced the proper distance from the flanges by means of corner clips, rods, studs; or Pyroseat may be spotted-in to space the corner bead at specified fireproofing thickness.
B. Application of Pyroseat
1. Mix ^roscat to recommended consistency with clean, fresh water,
before application. Refer to mixing instructions on the bag and use so more water than called for. Mix Pyroseat to a homogeneous plastic mass; avoid over-mixing, particularly with mechanical mixers.
a) Apply Pyroseat well into the metal lath, installing approximately 1/2 the total thickness la the scratch coat. Leave the first coat rough or scratch the surface.
0
b) On the underside of beams, the application may be In three coats. Apply a thin scratch coat first to improve adhesion.
c) If corner bead was not applied previously, wire it in place when the scratch coat has set.
2. Let the scratch coat harden until well set (4 to 6 hours or longer), then double-back with the finish coat. Apply it flush with the corner bead. Sponge-float the surface to a textured finish or as otherwise specified.

O- Curing Pyroscat \ - .
*
Pyrocctt is * cementitious material; to develop its strength, keep it moiat for 72 hour# or longer* Depending on atmospheric condition# when applied
the requiredwater retention may be accomplished with wet burlap, periodic water s pray or a hydrosatatic (resin-base) sealer.
2. Following the curing period and when visual moisture has dried, apply a
suitable flashing material at all intersecting joints and exposed ends of
members treated (Duriseal T-17$ Costing).
*
3. ^rroscet may be painted with (1) masonry paint, (2) two coat# of asphalt*
base aluminum paint, or (3) other finishes a# specified for operating
conditions involved. {Note: When conventional masonry paint of the hydra-
ting-type is used, wet down the Fyroscat before painting to insure proper
. hydration).
* .
ALTERNATES FOR TOWER SKIRTS (VERTICAL)
A-2 Attach a layer of 1" x 1" square mesh reinforcing, positioned 1" away from the * skirt, i.e., at the approximate center of the fireproofing thickness specified.
a) Trowel or gun Fyroscat solidly through openings in the square mesh,
bringing the scratch coat out approximately 1" thick. Start at the bottom of
the skirt and work upward. Leave the surface rough, or scratch it when
trowel applied. '
'
b) Screed strips may be attached temporarily over the square mesh reinforc ing, to accurately gauge the thickness of the second layer*
c) When fireproofing is applied to skirts of heated vessels while they are in
operation, heat conducted to the skirt may prematurely dry the initial layer
of Pyroscat. Wet the first coat thoroughly, particularly at the top, before
applying the final layer.
'
ALTERNATES FOR HORIZONTAL TANKS
A-2 *
Bolster bars are preferred for anchorage of the reinforcing mesh. The bolster bar selected would have legs extending from the tank surface approximately one-half of the total thickness of Pyroscat to be applied. Form the bolster bars to fit the tank curvature, then weld or wire in place circumferentially approxi mately 3* on centers. Wire the reinforcing mesh to the bolster bars,
C-3 When tanks so fireproofed are to be operated below ambient temperature, suit able vapor-sealingtreatmentis recommended after the Pyroscat has been cured,
dried and flashed.

Pyroscat is s special formulation of hlgh-temperature aggregatta, asbestos fibers, hydraulic binder and ether materials. These ingredients are factory Mended to a uniform dry mixture that is ready for application afUr mixing with water at the job site. Pyroscat is adapted to application by spraying casting and trowelling techniques, depending on job conditions.
USES:
Pyroscat provides a lightweight, fire-retardent protective treatment for
structural steel columns, beams, tower skirts, LP gas tanks, and ether
exposed applications in refineries and chemical plants. Pyroscat sets up
to a hard, durable sheath capable of withstanding for hours the 200Qf\
flame temperatures and High-pressure water streams commonly encoun
tered in industrial fires.
:* ,
RECOMMENDED THICKNESSES:
Fire-retardent materlalsare customarily rated in Hours, based on agiven thickness used and on the method of application. For example, fire ratings /or steel columns represent the number of hours required for heat from a "standard fire" to penetrate' the protective treatment as applied, and to increase the steel column temperature to a critical level (1200F/. The thermal conductivity and heat capacity of a material are of some impor tance in an ASTM Fire Test. But the ability of the complete treatment to withstand thermal shock without destruction is one of the most significant factors in determining practical fire ratings in Industrial installations.
The Pyroscat thicknesses recommendedbelow were determined by physical tests on a series of sprayed, cast and trowelled applications. Tests in cluded direct exposure to 200 psi hose pressure, both before and after subjecting the Pyroscat treatment to severe flame conditions.
