- Application Method
- Drying Time
- 30-60 must be thoroughly dry before process equipment can be used at design operating temperatures.
- Total drying time is approximately 48 hours depending on ambient conditions.
- Dry time can be accelerated by air drying 4 hours, followed by heating up Foster 30-60 for 24 hours (to maintain 30-60 at 82°C to 93°C).
- Cleaning Information
Use clean fresh water to clean tools and equipment before 30-60 dries

Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 6 months
- Handling Conditions
- Store between 40°F (4°C) and 90°F (32°C).
- Apply between 40°F (4°C) and 100°F (38°C).
- Do not apply over aluminum.
- Use within six months for best application properties.
- Protect 30-60 from rain until insulation is installed.
- To ensure good bond to bare metal, surface must be clean, dry and free of rust, scale, oil or mill scale prior to attaching the tracer and applying 30-60.
- A portable sandblaster or a grinding wheel can be used for cleaning metal surface.
- Apply 30-60 by glove, pointed trowel, or pressure extrusion equipment, being careful to force 30-60 into the crevice between tracer and pipeline.
- 30-60 should cover the tracer by at least 6 mm.
- The contact area of 30-60 on the pipe or vessel should be three times the width of the tracer.
