HI-EPOXY 1480 Epoxy Zinc-Rich Primer is a two-component epoxy metallic zinc-rich primer that forms a hard
A hard, abrasion-resistant anticorrosive coating with cathodic protection for steel structures. The product has good application properties, fast drying, good compatibility and high overall anticorrosive performance.
This primer can be combined with various Nippon Paint products to form a coating system with comprehensive anticorrosive performance, protecting facilities and structures in various corrosive environments across industries such as airports, industrial plants, petrochemical plants, bridges and power plants.

Remove oil and grease in accordance with SSPC-SP1 solvent cleaning.
Abrasive blasting: blast clean to Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP6 (or SSPC-SP10 for better results). If the blasted surface oxidises before coating, it shall be re-prepared to the specified standard. Surface defects exposed after blasting shall be treated by grinding, filling or other suitable methods. The surface profile shall be 40–75 µm or above.
Shop-primed surfaces: the product may be used over unrusted inorganic zinc silicate shop primer; before coating, welds and damaged areas shall be blast-cleaned to Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) / SSPC-SP6 (or SSPC-SP10 for better results). If the shop primer shows extensive breakdown or heavy rusting, the whole surface shall be blast-cleaned.
Repair of damaged areas: damaged areas must be blast cleaned to Sa 2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP6.
If local areas cannot be blasted, mechanical grinding to St 3 (ISO 8501-1:2007) is permitted. Only after surface preparation may HI-EPOXY 1480 be applied.
Before applying HI-EPOXY 1480, ensure the surface to be coated is clean and dry, and apply within the specified recoating interval (refer to the relevant product application instructions).
Other surfaces: if this coating is to be applied to other surfaces, consult the local Nippon Paint company for further information.
Application is not recommended above 45 °C ambient temperature or above 85% relative humidity; the steel temperature must be at least 3 °C above the dew point of the surrounding air.

Note: *Before overcoating, the surface shall be free of chalking and contamination, and shall be sealed where necessary. When the film has been exposed outdoors for a prolonged period with zinc salts or contamination on the surface, adhesion of the overcoat may be affected; therefore the film surface shall be abraded, sweep-blasted or high-pressure water-jetted to ensure adequate adhesion.

Curing agent: 12 months (25 °C). Store in accordance with national regulations. Keep the product sealed in a dry, cool, well-ventilated store away from heat and sources of ignition. High temperatures shorten the storage period and may cause the paint to gel in the container. The above is the minimum shelf life; thereafter, testing is required to confirm the product is still usable.
