DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Surface Preparation

General

• Surfaces must be dry, clean, and free of contaminants.
• Remove dirt, dust, oil, grease per SSPC-SP1 solvent cleaning.
• Treat surface as per ISO 8504 prior to priming.

Immersion Condition (Steel)

• Abrasive blast clean to min. Sa 2.5 (Swedish spec).
• If oxidation occurs before application, re-blast.
• Recommended profile (Rz): 50–75 µm.

Atmospheric Exposure (Steel)

• Blast clean to Sa 2.5.
• If blasting impractical: power/hand tool to achieve St3/St2 (Swedish spec).
• Use suitable zinc/epoxy primer or intermediate coat (clean, dry, roughened if aged).

Concrete

• Cure minimum 3 months.
• Surface roughened, free from laitance/contaminants.
• Remove dust by suction or air blast.
• In non-critical areas: water jet washing + wire brushing acceptable.

Note: Surface must be thoroughly dry before primer for optimal performance.

---

Application Conditions

• Substrate temp: ≥3°C above dew point, ≤50°C.
• Relative humidity: <85%.
• Good ventilation required in confined spaces.
• As with all epoxies: product may chalk/discolour in exterior exposure (not affecting anticorrosive performance).

---

Mixing

• Supplied in two packs (base + hardener).
• Stir separately; loosen settled material if required.
• Add hardener gradually into base while stirring.
• Consume within pot life.
• Avoid part mixing.
• Add thinner only after mixing & induction time.

Mixing Ratio (by volume)	Base : Hardener = 4 : 1
Induction Time	30 min
Pot Life @ 30°C	8 hrs

Excessive thinner reduces sag resistance.

Application

Airless Spray

• Thinner: T-141
• Volume: 0–15%
• Nozzle orifice: 0.41–0.48 mm (16–19 thou)
• Nozzle pressure: 20–24 MPa (200–240 atm; 2800–3400 psi)
• Cleaning: T-141

Brush/Roller

• Thinner: T-141 (0–10%)
• Cleaning: T-141

Notes:

• Chalking/discolouration on exterior exposure is normal.
• For concrete: apply first coat as primer with extra thinning at 25–50 µm to fill porosity; subsequent coats at 100–125 µm DFT.

---

Cleaning

• Do not allow product to remain in hoses/guns.
• Clean immediately with T-141.
• Flush spray equipment periodically.
• Dispose surplus material/containers per regulations.

---

PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS

• Maximum performance after full cure.
• Tar bleeding can occur when overcoating with other paints → consult Asian Paints PPG rep. for topcoat advice.

---

PACK SIZE

• 20 L (Base: 16 L + Hardener: 4 L)
• 4 L (Base: 3.2 L + Hardener: 0.8 L)
• 1 L (Base: 800 ml + Hardener: 200 ml)

---

STORAGE & REGULATORY INFORMATION

• Shelf life: ≥12 months @ 30°C in unopened pack (inspect thereafter).
• Store cool and dry.
• Flash Point: ≥24°C (Base & Hardener).
• VOC: ~325 ± 25 g/l (per US EPA Method 24).
• Product Weight: ~1.40 ± 0.05 kg/l (depending on shades).

---

SAFETY INFORMATION

• Avoid inhalation of vapours/paint mist and contact with skin/eyes.
• Ensure forced ventilation in confined spaces.
• Use respiratory, skin, and eye protection during spray.
• Refer to MSDS before use.
