Fiberlock Technologies® Recon™ smoke odour sealer relying on titanium dioxide and a powerful alcohol (2,2,4-Trimethyl-1,3-Pentenediol Monoisobutyrate) as active ingredients to seal the smell of smoke. White color. Sold in 5 gal US (18.9 L) containers. 

Fiberlock Technologies® manufacturer’s code: RECON 3090 for white, 3091 for clear.

Recon™ meets NFPA 90A standard for the installation of air-conditioning and ventilating system requirements and NFPA 90B standard for the installation of warm air heating and air-conditioning systems requirements.

This odour sealant product for restoration work after a fire disaster is in fact the final touch. It won’t be effective if the surface to be coated hasn't been thoroughly cleaned, degreased and sterilized with product such as the Atomic Degreaser™ by Benefect® before. Odours are caused by particulates dropped off by flames and will keep on stinking even if coated. Recon™ is thus like a paint coat or rather a primer. When drying, it encapsulates the residual odour of smoke to prevent its migration through the coating, that is, even with seasonal changes in temperature and humidity. Once applied, bad smells won’t come back.

Recon™ is product designed for serious restoration professionals and should never be handled by renovation enthusiasts.

Dilution:
No dilution is required, the Recon™ has been designed as a ready-made product. Shake well before use. 

Coverage:
The approximate coverage rate on smooth surfaces ranges between 200 ft² to 300 ft²/gal US depending on the amount applied and between 100 ft² to 200 ft²/gal US on porous surfaces, depending on the amount applied, of course. 

Procedures:
Recon™ should be applied with the help of a nylon or polyester paint brush or an airless spray system. Paint rolls are not recommended by the manufacturer. Make sure the surface to be treated is smooth; if need be, sand the surface to make it smooth before coating it. 

Recon™ may be tinted but one is more likely to get a pastel-like colour. Simply add two ounces (2 oz) of toner per gallon of coating. Note that Recon™ is a primer, thus it may be covered with a water-based paint layer. 

This product can be used to encapsulate bad odours within HVAC systems as part of fire damage restoration. Simply make sure the surface is clean before applying the primer. This product can be used in both fibreglass lined and unlined ductwork. 

Please note that a second layer of Recon™ may be required for desired results.

Drying time:
Once applied, the product should be set to touch after thirty (30) minutes at a temperature of 70 °F (21 °C) and a relative humidity of 50%. For a dry through, this product requires four (4) hours in the same conditions. 

Airless spray system specifications:
One should use an airless spray system equipped with reversible 0.019” to 0.021” spray tips (recommended for optimum application). The manufacturer recommends a pressure of 2000 to 3000 psi. Considering that this product is water-based, one should use corrosion resistant pumps and fittings unlike carbon steel spray equipment. 

Safety equipment:
On top of basic protective gear, it is recommended to handle Recon™ with respiratory protection gear such as a half facepiece respirator (R7502) equipped with cartridges for protection from organic vapours (R6001) and R95 prefilters (R5P71) as well as safety eyewear (YA11510).

Limitations:
The manufacturer strongly discouraged the application of this product on surfaces colder than 50 °F (10 °C) nor in conditions such as exceeding relative humidity which will prevent the drying of the product. This product has been designed to prevent the growth of mould and offers no protection from bacterias, viruses, germs and other organisms which may be hazardous the man’s health. This product has also been designed for inside use only. The manufacturer cautioned not to mix the Recon™ with other products, solvents or oil-based toners. 

Storage:
Keep out of the reach of children at a room temperature ranging between 50 °F (10 °C) and 90 °F (32 °C). Keep in the original sealed container. If the product is still sealed, the manufacturer limits its shelf life to thirty-six (36) months.
