    Business Information
    Shelf Life Details Store 3M™ Fuel Resistant Coatings EC-776 or EC-776SR at 60-80°F (15-27°C) for maximum storage life. Higher temperatures reduce normal storage life. Lower temperatures can increase viscosity temporarily. Rotate stock on a “first in-first out” basis.;Standard shelf life for 3M EC-776SR Coating is 6 months from date of shipment when stored at 60-80°F (15-27°C).

  • Best Practices for 3M 776SR

    *See Terms of Use Below

    1. Surface Preparation

      Surfaces to be coated should be clean, dry and free from oil or grease.

      Note: When using solvents, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use for handling such materials

    2. Application

      3M™Fuel Resistant Coatings EC-776 and EC-776SR may be applied by brush or flow applicator. When applying in multiple coats allow a minimum of 10 minutes between coats. Under normal atmospheric conditions this coating becomes tack free in about 20 minutes and should thoroughly dry in approximately 24 hours. Fuel Resistant Coatings EC-776 and EC-776SR are commonly used without heat cure. Heat curing Fuel Resistant Coatings EC-776 and EC-776SR for 1 hour at 250°F will increase moisture resistance of the coatings.

      Coverage is approximately 320 square feet per gallon for a 1 mil dry film.

      Surfaces to be coated should be clean, dry and free from oil or grease.

      Fuel Resistant Coatings EC-776 and EC-776SR may also be used to coat tanks (aluminum or steel) by the fill and drain method. It is sometimes desirable to dilute Fuel Resistant Coatings EC-776 and EC-776SR with methyl ethyl ketone or solvent such as 3M™ Scotch-Grip™ Solvent No. 3 to assure proper run out or flow properties when using the fill and drain method. An air hose inserted into the fuel tank can be used to help provide air circulation for proper drying.

    3. Clean-Up

      Clean up can be accomplished with 3M™ Scotch-Grip™ Solvent No. 3. See 3M™ Scotch-Grip™ Solvent No. 3 Technical Data Sheet for additional technical information.
