AMERLOCK 2 GF SIGMASHIELD 2 glass flake epoxy coating 2

Browse Similar Models by CategoryThis model belongs to: Glass Flake, Epoxy

Key properties

• Low-temperature curing down to 0 °C (32 °F).
• Excellent abrasion and impact resistance
• High glass flake content
• Excellent corrosion resistance.
• Provides long-term protection for areas subject to severe abrasion.
• Because the glass flakes act as a water-barrier, the coating has extremely low water permeability.
• Tar-free
• Resistant to spillage and splashes of many chemicals
• Suitable for immersion areas.
• Good compatibility with cathodic protection systems.
• A single coat applied in one application can achieve a dry film thickness of up to 750 µm (30 mils).

Colour and gloss

• Standard colours are available, and various colours can be customised to customer requirements.
• Eggshell.

Basic data at 10 °C (50 °F)

Parameters after mixing

Maximum: 3 months.

Curing agent: at least 24 months; store in a dry and cool environment.

Notes

• See the supplementary data sheet — theoretical spreading rate versus dry film thickness table.
• See supplementary parameters — recoat interval table.
• Intermittent peak temperatures shall total less than 5% of the total operating time, and a single peak shall last no more than 24 hours.
• This is the heat resistance of the coating in a dry atmosphere; for immersion conditions, consult the PPG technical representative.

Recommended substrate condition and temperature

Substrate condition

• Bare steel: blast cleaning to Sa2½ of international standard ISO 8501-1, surface roughness 50–100 µm (2.0–4.0 mils).
• Confirmed compatible primers, provided the surface is clean and dry with all contamination removed.

Substrate Temperature

• During application and curing, the substrate temperature must be above 5 °C (41 °F).
• During application and curing, the substrate temperature must be at least 3 °C (5 °F) above the dew point.

Instructions for use

Mixing ratio by volume: base : curing agent = 50:50 (1:1)

• Before application, raise the temperature of the base, curing agent or mixed paint to above 15 °C (59 °F); otherwise, additional thinner may be required

Adjust the paint viscosity to a state suitable for application.

• Excessive thinning may reduce the sag resistance of the wet film and slow hard drying.
• The base and curing agent must be thoroughly power-stirred to ensure the two components are mixed uniformly.
• The thinner should be added after the two components are mixed.
• Remove the filters from the spray equipment.

Induction Time

Not required.

Air spray

Airless spray (single-feed pump)

Brush/roller

• For local repair and manual touch-up only.
• The thixotropic nature of the coating makes it difficult to form a smooth film by brush, but this does not materially affect the subsequent performance of the coating.

Notes

• The surface must be clean, dry and free of all contaminants.
• Adequate and continuous ventilation shall be maintained during application and curing [see tables (1433) and (1434)].
• In some special cases, the recoat interval limits may be relaxed

Safety Precautions

• For the coating and its recommended thinners, see Safety Sheets 1430 and 1431 and the relevant Material Safety Data Sheet.
• This is a solvent-borne coating. Avoid inhaling spray mist and solvent vapours, and avoid contact of uncured paint with skin and eyes.
