The data provided is for guideline purposes only.
The physical values are subject to normal manufacturing tolerances, colour and testing variances.
Volume solids are as per ASTM D 2697 (air-drying method).
Actual drying/overcoat intervals depend on film thickness, ventilation, humidity, and temperature.
Data based on 30°C and 65% relative humidity.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Surface Preparation

General

• Surfaces must be dry, clean, and free from contaminants.
• Remove dirt, dust, oil, and all contaminants that could affect adhesion.
• Remove oil and grease as per SSPC-SP1 solvent cleaning.
• Check and treat surfaces per ISO 8504 before priming.
• Suitable for zinc primer or epoxy primer systems.
• For aged epoxy coatings, roughen surface before painting.
• For weathered zinc primers, remove white rust via thorough water scrubbing or high-pressure cleaning.
• Apply a mist coat when overcoating zinc-rich primers.

---

Application Conditions

• Substrate temperature: ≥3°C above dew point, ≤50°C.
• Relative humidity: ≤85%.
• Ensure good ventilation in confined spaces for proper curing.

---

Mixing

• Supplied in two packs; stir base and hardener separately.
• If settling observed, loosen material with hand stirrer, then mix with a power-driven stirrer (low RPM).
• Add hardener gradually into base under continuous stirring per ratio below.
• Once mixed, consume within pot life. Avoid part mixing; reseal lids tightly if done.
• Add thinner only after induction time. Over-thinning reduces sag resistance.

Parameter	Value
Mixing Ratio (by volume)	Base : Hardener = 5 : 1
Induction Time	15 minutes
Pot Life @ 30°C	2 hours

Nozzle Pressure	19 MPa (≈190 atm; 2800 psi)
Cleaning	Thinner T-141

Brush / Roller

Parameter	Specification
Purpose	Stripe coating & small areas
Thinner	T-141
Volume of Thinner	0 – 10%*

Note: Depends on recommended film thickness and application conditions.

---

Cleaning

• Do not allow paint to remain in hoses, guns, or spray equipment.
• Clean equipment immediately after use with Thinner T-141.
• Flush spray equipment periodically during the day.
• Dispose of surplus material and containers per local regulations.

---

PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS

• Maximum film build in one coat achieved via airless spray.
• Air spray (pressure pot) may require multiple cross-spray passes for desired build.
• Brush application achieves 75–100 µm per coat; multiple coats may be needed.
• As with all epoxies, APCODUR MIO / 415 will chalk and discolour on exterior exposure—this does not affect anticorrosive performance.
• Maximum performance achieved after full curing.

---

PACK SIZE

• 20 L (Base: 16.67 L + Hardener: 3.33 L)

---

STORAGE

• Shelf Life: Minimum 12 months @ 30°C (original unopened pack, inspect after).
• Store in cool, dry, shaded conditions away from heat and ignition sources as per local regulations.

---

REGULATORY INFORMATION

Property	Value
Flash Point	Base: ≥24°C; Hardener: ≥24°C
VOC	Approx. 225 g/l (depending on shades) – per US EPA Method 24
Product Weight	Approx. 1.79 kg/l (depending on shade)

---

SAFETY INFORMATION

• Avoid inhalation of vapour or mist and contact with skin/eyes.
• Provide forced ventilation in confined spaces.
• Even with ventilation, respiratory, skin, and eye protection should be used during spraying.
• Refer to Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) prior to use.
