| Publication date | July 2024. NOA 60 HS-LT SQ is a high-quality pure epoxy paint with high abrasion resistance, designed with full consideration of health, safety and environmental factors. The special phenol resin formulation strengthens crack resistance at welds, improves anticorrosive performance and adhesion, and provides high seawater and cathodic disbondment resistance. Multipurpose; especially suitable for ship ballast tanks, void spaces, and onshore storage tanks and industrial storage facilities. This product is certified to the PSPC requirements of IMO MSC.215(82) ('Performance Standard for Protective Coatings for Dedicated Seawater Ballast Tanks and Void Spaces on Ships') and holds a type approval certificate. High drying and application performance at low temperature. |

Remove weld spatter, smooth welds, and grind sharp edges to a radius of at least 2 mm, or use the three-pass grinding technique or similar treatment.
All surfaces to be coated must be clean, dry and free of contaminants.

NOA 60 HS-LT SQ can be applied in one or two coats; its special formulation eliminates the solvent retention risk normally associated with high-film single-coat application. Therefore, one-coat application is recommended where possible.
This product has high solids content; two touch-up coats achieve the specified film thickness. Use the following touch-up technique: 1. Load the brush or roller fully each time. Rollers may be used on scallop openings, rat holes and similar, but not on free edges or welds.
2. Apply light pressure for touch-up so more paint remains on the surface; repeated heavy pressure only spreads the paint thinly and aerates the film, which must be avoided as far as possible.
3. For rough, back-run welds at scallop openings, draw the loaded tool edge-to-edge across the weld so that paint penetrates the weld pores.
4. Pre-coating of difficult-to-spray areas is generally essential, such as rough welds, back-run welds, free edges, scallop openings, drain holes, air holes, dead corners, stiffeners and brackets.
Although NOA 60 HS-LT SQ is more flexible than ordinary epoxy coatings, follow good painting practice and do not apply too thick on stressed welds. Avoid stripe coating in areas prone to spray overlap, such as corners or right-angle weld structures.
NOA 60 HS-LT SQ can be sprayed immediately after stripe coating, while remaining within the specified maximum overcoating interval.
