COLOR AND GLOSS LEVEL

• Standard and custom colors
• Eggshell

Note: Epoxy coatings will chalk and fade with exposure to sunlight. Light colors are prone to ambering to some extent. Product tinted to custom colors are not recommended for immersion service. Only use factory grind batches for immersion.

RECOMMENDED SUBSTRATE CONDITIONS AND TEMPERATURES

• Coating performance is proportional to the degree of surface preparation. Remove all loose paint, mill scale, and rust. Surface must be dimensionally stable, dry, clean and free of grease, oil, and other foreign materials.

Carbon steel

• For immersion service: blast to ISO-Sa2½ (SSPC SP-10), profile 40–75 µm (1.6–3.0 mils)
• For atmospheric service: blast to ISO-Sa2½ or min. SSPC SP-6, or power tool clean SSPC SP-3 / SSPC SP-2, or UHP water jet SSPC SP WJ-2(L) / NACE WJ-2(L)

Concrete / Masonry

• Remove contaminants per ASTM D4258
• Abrade per ASTM D4259 to ICRI CSP 3 to 5
• Amercoat 114 A may be used as pit filler.
• Max recommended moisture transmission rate = 3 lbs/1000 ft²/24 hr (ASTM F1869 or ASTM D4263). Alternatively ASTM D4944 ≤ 4% moisture content.

Galvanized steel

• Clean with detergent/emulsion cleaner.
• Lightly abrasive blast per SSPC SP-16, profile 1.5–3.0 mils (38–75 µm).
• 24-month weathered galvanizing can be coated after power washing.

Non-ferrous metals and stainless steel

• Remove contaminants.
• Abrasive blast per SSPC SP-16, profile 40–100 µm (1.5–4.0 mils).

Substrate temperature

• During application/curing must be >10°C (50°F).
• At least 3°C (5°F) above dew point.

SYSTEM SPECIFICATION

• For insulated and non-insulated service: Apply direct to carbon steel or stainless steel up to 204°C (400°F).
• System: One coat, 250 µm (10.0 mils) DFT.

Notes:

• May apply 2 × 125 µm coats.
• Do not exceed 400 µm (16.0 mils) total DFT.
• Topcoat may be required under direct sunlight.
• For carbon steel: ISO-Sa2½ or min. SSPC SP-6 recommended. For maintenance/repair: min. SSPC SP-15.
• For hot application (66–150°C): see “HOT APPLY EPOXIES” info sheet.
