Application

Substrate

The steel surfaces to be coated must be dry, clean,
free from dust, have a good profile and be free from
all matter acting as release agents (e.g. oil, grease,
old paint etc.). In order to obtain the necessary
conditions, suitable substrate preparation methods
such as blasting must be used.

Steel surfaces must be abrasive blast cleaned to
near white (degree of cleanliness according to DIN
EN ISO 12944-4 degree of cleanliness at least
Sa 2 ).



The first coating must be applied immediately after
blast cleaning.

The surface profile should be between 50 m and 70
m. The blasting material shall be angled-shot.

Coating

Ensure that the temperature of the substrate is at
least 3 C above the dew point to avoid condensation
of the substrate to be coated due to humidity.

PROTEGOL

EP 32-96 is applied using a two-

component airless hot-spray system only. Dosing for
each component must be very precise with a
tolerance of 3 %.

Relative humidity during application and curing of the
coating must be < 80 %. (In case the relative
humidity is higher, please ask for our special
technical advice.)

Depending on the field of use, small quantities can
be mixed manually and applied by brush.

Both components should be stored at room
temperature which will make application easier at
lower temperatures whereas at high summer
temperatures the drums shall be stored in a cool
place, by no means expose them to direct sunlight.

Maintenance of tools

Immediately after use all instruments should be
cleaned with Solvent D or G.

Health and Safety

Although PROTEGOL

EP 32-96 is solvent-free, it
may, if processed at elevated temperatures, develop
vapours which may cause irritation to the skin. It
must be ensured by suitable measures, such as
continuous ventilation, mechanical extraction or
respiratory protection that such vapours and any mist
eventually forming during the spraying process are
not inhaled. Therefore we recommend to wear filter
or fresh air masks.

When using PROTEGOL

EP Coating 32-96, all

safety precautions applicable to handling epoxy
resins and their hardeners must be observed. They
are listed in the Merkblatt fr die Verarbeitung von
Polyester- und Epoxidharzen (Application advice for
polyester and epoxy resins) published by the
German liability insurance association of the
chemical industry and are available on request.

Notes on dangers and safety advice on the
containers must be strictly observed!

In addition, the health and safety precautions being
effective in the respective country should be
observed.

Contact with the unprotected skin should be avoided.
Any material accidentally splashed onto the skin
should immediately be removed using warm, soapy
water or preferably with warm non-alkaline detergent.
Afterwards wash again thoroughly with soap and
water.

It is recommended to protect the skin with a silicone-
free barrier cream before starting work.

Any further information can be taken from the
material safety data sheets.
