Drying Profile
- Dry at ambient conditions above 55°F.
- HydroArmor® dries quickly at ambient temperatures and can typically be handled within 30 minutes of application.
- If the coating is not baked, it will completely dry in 24 hours or less. Drying is slowed by high humidity and poor air circulation.
Factor Shorter Time to Dry Longer Time to Dry Coating Thickness Thinner Coating Thicker Coating Air Flow More Air Flow Less Air Flow Temperature Hotter Temperatures Colder Temperatures Humidity Less Humidity More Humidity Application Instructions
- As with any coating the surface to be coated should be clean and dry prior to application of the HydroArmor® 8800BL.
- We recommend that a minimum coating thickness of 0.020” be applied for optimum performance.
- Product can be brushed, rolled or sprayed onto surface.
Clean-Up
- HydroArmor® can be cleaned from the equipment and overspray with water while wet. Dried material can be removed with Methyl Ethyl Ketone.

Features & Benefits
- Product Features & Benefits
-
- One component material for easy handling
- Safe and easy to use
- High bond strength on a variety of substrates
- Suitable for easy application via brush, roll or spray
- Environmental and safety friendly, VOC compliant
- Withstands long exposures to humidity, heat, and salt spray
- Resistant to impact even at low temperatures
- Superior protection from rust and corrosion
- Low density formula provides good protection with minimal added weight
- Excellent adhesion to stainless steel, wood, and composite decking and to provide very good corrosion protection
- Easily sprayed onto overhead and vertical surfaces to seal joints
- Product Highlights
-
- HydroArmor® 8800BL is an extremely durable anti-corrosion coating even when exposed to demanding service conditions:
- Several days at 121°C (250°F) and 38°C/100% relative humidity does not affect the dried film.
- When test panels were subjected the “Gravelometer” at -30°C (-22°F), the rocks did not penetrate the coating.
- After 1,000 hours in the salt spray cabinet, the HydroArmor® coating remains intact, and there is no corrosion under the coating.
- HydroArmor® 8800BL is as safe to use and as easy to clean up as water-based house paint.
- It provides as good as or better anticorrosion protection than any of the competitive products on the market without the environmental and safety problems inherent in many of the undercoating products available today.
