HI-EPOXY 1468 Epoxy is an epoxy coating. It is used as a primer or intermediate coat for the corrosion protection of steel substrates such as municipal steel structures, bridges, petrochemical and power facilities and equipment, and construction machinery under various atmospheric corrosive environments. HI-EPOXY 1468 Epoxy can also be used as a tie coat on non-ferrous metal surfaces such as galvanized surfaces. 1.5 ± 0.1 kg/L (slight variation depending on colour) 156 g/L The surface to be coated shall be clean, dry and free from contamination. Parameters on this page: volume solids 80 ± 3%, dry film thickness 80–200 µm, theoretical spreading rate 0.18–0.20 kg/m².

HI-EPOXY 1468 Epoxy is a high-build two-component epoxy coating designed for low-carbon steel and galvanized coating surfaces. It has good surface wetting on carbon steel, galvanized layers and rusty surfaces, and can be used on galvanized, aluminium alloy and St2-grade steel structures prepared by hand or power tool cleaning. It has good surface tolerance, good anti-corrosion and anti-rust performance and good application properties.
HI-EPOXY 1468 Epoxy can be used as a tie coat on non-ferrous metal surfaces such as galvanized surfaces, and can also
be used as a primer or intermediate coat for the corrosion protection of steel substrates such as municipal steel structures, bridges, petrochemical and power facilities and equipment, and construction machinery under various atmospheric corrosive environments. Specific versions of this product can also be used for long-term corrosion protection in immersion environments.

| Density | 1.5 ± 0.1 kg/L (slight variation depending on colour) |
| VOC | 156 g/L The surface to be coated shall be clean, dry and free from contamination. Surface assessment and cleaning standards refer to ISO 8504. Oil and |
Grease shall be removed by solvent cleaning in accordance with SSPC-SP1.
Blasting: blast to Sa 2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP6 (SSPC-SP10 gives better results). If the blasted surface has oxidized before coating, it must be re-treated to meet the specified standard requirements. Surface defects exposed after blasting shall be treated by appropriate methods such as grinding and filling. Surface roughness shall reach 40–75 µm or above.
Repair of damaged/rusted areas: where conditions permit, blast the damaged areas to Sa 2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) for ideal results. If blasting is not possible in the repair area, mechanical grinding to St2 (ISO 8501-1:2007) is permitted to remove the surface rust layer. After surface preparation is completed, repair shall be carried out according to the coating system sequence.
HI-EPOXY 1468 Epoxy shall be applied to metal surfaces in accordance with the anti-corrosion systems recommended by Nippon. Before application, ensure that the surface to be coated is dry and free from contamination, and application must be carried out within the specified recoat interval (refer to the relevant product datasheet).
Other surfaces: if this coating is to be applied to other surfaces or in specific immersion environments, consult the local Nippon Paint company for more professional information and select the appropriate version under the guidance of Nippon technical personnel.
Application is not recommended when the substrate temperature is above 45 °C or the air relative humidity exceeds 85%; the steel temperature shall
at least 3 °C above the ambient dew point, and ensure good ventilation at the application site.

Note: *Before recoating, the surface shall be free from chalking and contamination. The above maximum recoat time is specified to obtain ideal adhesion. When the coating film has been exposed outdoors for too long, or the surface is smooth or contaminated, recoat adhesion will be adversely affected; therefore the coating surface must be roughened, sweep-blasted or high-pressure water jetted to ensure sufficient adhesion.
The data above are for guidance only. Actual recoat and drying times may be shorter or longer depending on film thickness, ventilation, humidity, the underlying coating system, and prior hand or mechanical preparation conditions.

Curing agent: 12 months (25 °C). Store in accordance with national regulations. The product shall be kept sealed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated warehouse, away from heat and ignition sources. Excessively high temperatures shorten the storage period and may cause gelling of the paint in the can.
The above is the minimum shelf life; beyond this period, testing is required to determine whether the product can still be used.
