Introduction

A two-component, 100% volume solids intumescent epoxy fire protection coating with good film flexibility and toughness, suitable for the prevention of various fire hazards in the oil and gas, chemical, energy, transport and defence industries, including explosions, hydrocarbon jet or pool fires and cryogenic liquid spillage.

Key properties

• Provides passive fire protection for various steel structures, components (decks, bulkheads and fire walls), reactors, pipeline works and equipment requiring safety. Ensures

the stability and integrity of the overall structure, meeting the requirements of thermal insulation technology.

• An intumescent epoxy coating, durable, with excellent corrosion protection.
• Suitable for various industrial environments, and resistant to splashing and spillage fouling of general chemicals.
• Suitable for offshore platforms and the C5-I and C5-M corrosion environments defined by the international standard ISO 12944-2.
• Suitable for various substrates, such as aluminium, carbon steel, galvanised parts, carbon steel, stainless steel/refined steel, FRP and concrete.
• Suitable for protecting substrates from coating embrittlement caused by cryogenic liquid spillage.
• Effectively resists coating damage from structural movement and stretching, or abrasion and impact, during fabrication, shipment and extreme loading.
• Withstands coating damage from the impact of high-pressure explosion vapour clouds, drag and secondary projectiles.
• The proprietary elastomer formulation technology ensures excellent film flexibility and extensibility.
• Can be spray-applied or trowel-applied. Also suitable for casting or extrusion moulding.
• Tested and certified by independent third-party laboratories per various internationally recognised standards, including ASTM

E-84, BS 476, ISO 834, ISO 22899, ISO 20340, NFPA 290, NORSOK M-501 6th edition, UL 1709, UL 263, IMO FTP Code, GASAFE, GB 14907 and GOST.

• Type approvals and industry certificates, such as ABS, BV, DNV, LR, KMERI, China

3C, Russian Maritime and UL.

• Service temperature range: continuous working temperature −40 °C (−40 °F) to +80 °C (176 °F); for short-term peaks/occasional overruns, consult PPG!

Colour and gloss

• Grey (not tinted).
• Flat
• Can be used with exterior topcoats of various colours.

Basic data at 20 °C (68 °F)

Parameters after mixing

(International standard ISO 1183-1:2012 Method A – spray application).

Maximum 0.0 g/L (approx. 0.0 lb/gal) (theoretical calculated value).

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

Notes

• This product shall be stored in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight, at temperatures above 0 °C (32 °F) and below 35 °C (95 °F).
• The density of the finished coating is subject to various variable factors, such as temperature, test method, application method and coating equipment.
• The rated dry film thickness of the coating shall comply with the requirements of the product approval certificate.
• Application consumption shall allow for a loss factor.

Recommended substrate condition and temperature

• The substrate must be sound, dry, clean and free from contamination, and shall be surface-prepared in accordance with the "Heavy-build Epoxy Fire Protection Coating® XP Application Guide".
• The matching primer of the coating system shall comply with the dry film thickness, full curing time and recoat interval specified in the coating system specification.
• For the applicable matching primer of the coating system, refer to information sheet 1204 of the PPG product manual.
• Where the matching coating is a non-PPG primer or exterior topcoat, consult the PPG technical representative.
• When "High-build Epoxy Fire Protection Coating® XP" requires mesh reinforcement, operate per the "High-build Epoxy Fire Protection Coating® XP Application Guide".

Substrate temperature and application conditions

• Application at ambient temperatures below 10 °C (50 °F) is acceptable, but the time for the coating to cure to a hard dry state is correspondingly extended;

when the ambient temperature is below 5 °C (41 °F), coating curing tends to stop.

• During application and curing, the substrate temperature must be at least 3 °C (5 °F) above the dew point
• During application and curing, the relative humidity must not exceed 85%.

Instructions for use

• Application must be carried out strictly in accordance with the "Heavy-build Epoxy Fire Protection Coating® XP Application Guide".

Mixing ratio

• Mixing ratio by volume: base : curing agent = 2.33 : 1.
• Mixing ratio by weight: base component : curing agent component = 3.05 : 1.

Airless spray – heated two-component spray pump (preferred).

• Normally the hose used should be as short as possible.

Spray fan angle

40° – 60° .

Notes

• For details, refer to the "Heavy-build Epoxy Fire Protection Coating® XP Application Guide".
• The base and curing agent components must be pre-heated to at least 55–60 °C (131–140 °F) during circulation within the spray pump system.
• Hoses capable of insulation and/or heating shall be used.
• After high-pressure airless spray application, roll the surface smooth with a roller dipped in the specified thinner.

Airless spray – single-component spray pump

Notes

• Adding extra thinner normally affects the sag resistance and recoat interval of the coating.
• Consult the PPG field technical service representative for alternative spare thinners.
• The (mixed) paint temperature shall be maintained at 23 °C (73 °F) to 35 °C (95 °F).
• The maximum hose length should not exceed 30 m (98.4 ft).
• A spray pump with a pressure ratio of 74:1 is recommended.
• After high-pressure airless spray application, roll the surface smooth with a roller dipped in the specified thinner.

Trowel

Notes

• It is recommended to mix and apply the entire kit in one operation (avoid split-drum mixing, which cannot ensure an accurate mixing ratio).
• Recommended only for local small-area application and stripe coating.
• Consult the PPG field technical service representative for alternative spare thinners.

Supplementary parameters

Recoat intervals for solvent-free coatings

Notes

• The surface must be clean, dry and free of all contaminants.
• After thinner is added, the minimum recoat interval of the coating shall be increased accordingly to prevent solvent entrapment.
• For details, refer to the "High-build Epoxy Fire Protection Coating® XP Application Guide".

Curing time of the coating applied without any added solvent

Notes

• During application and curing, ensure continuous, adequate ventilation (see Safety Sheet 1433 and Information Sheet 1434).
• The actual curing time may also vary with the temperature of the substrate, environment and paint.
• The drying time for the coating to progress from finger-pressure hard dry (ready for subsequent processing) to walk-on hard dry needs to double.
• For details, refer to the "High-build Epoxy Fire Protection Coating® XP Application Guide".
