Browse Similar Models by CategoryThis model belongs to: Intermediate Coat, Epoxy

Product Description

A high-solids, high-build epoxy intermediate coat containing micaceous iron oxide pigment. In severely corrosive atmospheric environments, it can be used as an intermediate coat on new construction or maintenance work to improve the barrier protection of various anticorrosive systems.

Product Characteristics

• Good sag resistance, allowing a high dry film thickness in one coat
• Good barrier protection
• The film has good flexibility and impact resistance
• Fast drying
• Good intercoat adhesion with both anti-corrosive primers and topcoats
• High volume solids, compliant with environmental requirements

Basic physical and chemical data

Application parameters

Application Methods

*In hot seasons, the slow-drying thinner XH9400S is recommended

Theoretical Spreading Rate

Application data (typical dry film thickness 200 µm)

*The maximum recoat interval depends on the exposure environment and the end use of the coating.

Surface Preparation

All surfaces to be coated must be clean, dry and free of contaminants. Before application, all surfaces must be assessed and prepared in accordance with ISO 8504:2000. When used as a primer, blast clean the substrate to Sa 2½, with surface roughness 40–75 µm. Before rust removal, remove all oil and weld spatter and grind welds and sharp edges. Areas of the coating damaged mechanically and showing localised rust must be spot blast cleaned to Sa 2½ or cleaned with power tools to St 3 before local repair. When applied over other existing coatings, remove chalk, zinc salts, grease and other contaminants by suitable methods. When applied over inorganic zinc silicate primers or metal spray surfaces, use an approved tie coat or transitional coat.

Precautions

1. During application, ensure ventilation and exhaust, keep away from ignition sources, and wear protective equipment such as masks and gloves; maintain adequate ventilation during curing. 2. When mixing, first stir the base thoroughly, then add the hardener in the specified ratio and mix evenly; adjust the thinner quantity according to application needs and temperature, mix thoroughly and allow induction. 3. When overcoating inorganic zinc silicate coatings, seal with a transition coat first; apply this product only after the transition coat is hard-dry, otherwise the sealing effectiveness is reduced. 4. Excessive thinning reduces sag resistance and slows curing. 5. Excessive film thickness adversely affects drying/curing, recoating and handling time. For better coating performance, when the film thickness exceeds 200 µm, apply in multiple coats to improve film density. Avoid a single over-thick coat on edges, corners and welds; if over-thick, extend the recoat interval for subsequent coats to allow solvent release, otherwise the coating may crack in service. 6. If the coating chalks after long-term exposure, wash with high-pressure water or abrade the surface before applying subsequent coats. 7. Roller application cannot achieve high film thickness and a continuous film in one pass; multiple coats are required. 8. During application and curing, the substrate temperature must be at least 3 °C above the dew point, and relative humidity must not exceed 85%. 9. In steel structure shops requiring fast recoating, the fast-drying hardener can be used below 20 °C. In other anticorrosive maintenance work, the fast-drying hardener can be used below 15 °C. Above 20 °C, the fast-drying hardener is not recommended as the pot life is shortened. If it must still be used as the temperature rises, allow for the shortened pot life or switch to the general-purpose hardener. 10. Cutting structures coated with this product produces fumes and dust; take appropriate protection. 11. During work breaks, do not leave paint in the hose, spray gun or spray equipment. Flush all equipment thoroughly with thinner. If the break is too long, mix a fresh batch of paint for application. 12. Clean all equipment with thinner immediately after use. Flushing spray equipment regularly during work is good practice. Cleaning frequency depends on spray volume, temperature and spraying time including interruptions. 13. Dispose of leftover paint and empty cans in accordance with local regulations.

Packaging

Storage

Store sealed in a ventilated, cool, dry place away from ignition sources; ideal storage temperature 5–35 °C. Minimum 12 months

Safety Precautions

1. For the coating and its recommended thinners, see the safety sheets and the safety data of the relevant materials. This is a solvent-borne coating; avoid inhaling spray mist and solvent vapours, and avoid exposing skin and eyes and contact with uncured paint as far as possible. 2. All work related to the application and use of this product must comply with the relevant national health, safety and environmental standards and regulations. 3. If welding or flame cutting is required on metal coated with this product, dust and fumes will be generated; use appropriate personal protective equipment and adequate local ventilation. 4. If in doubt about the suitability of this product, consult the company.
