Description two component solvent free amine cured epoxy coating

PRINCIPAL CHARACTERISTICS – tankcoating for drinking water

– can be applied by single feed airless spray equipment
– reduced explosion risk and fire hazard
– good visibility in confined spaces due to light colour
– approved for drinking water by: KIWA Holland
– for other approvals see sheet 1882

Overcoating interval min. 24 hours *

max. 20 days *
Full cure after 12 days * at 20 °C

(data for components)

Shelf life (cool and dry place) at least 12 months

* see additional data

RECOMMENDED – steel; blast cleaned to ISO-Sa2½, blasting profile 50 - 100 μm

SUBSTRATE CONDITIONS
AND TEMPERATURES
– substrate temperature must be above 10°C and at least 3°C above dew
point during application and curing
– if a holding primer is required SigmaGuard 215, SigmaCover 280 or
SigmaPrime 200 can be used
– for KIWA only SigmaGuard 215 is approved as a holding primer

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE mixing ratio by volume: base to hardener 77.5 : 22.5

– at lower temperature the viscosity will be too high for spray application
– the temperature of the mixed base and hardener should preferably be at
least 20°C
– no thinner should be added
– for recommended application instructions: see working procedure
Induction time allow induction time before use
10°C - 15 min.
Pot life approx. 90 minutes at 20 °C *
* see additional data

AIRLESS SPRAY
Recommended thinner no thinner should be added
Nozzle orifice approx. 0.53 mm (=0.021 in)
Nozzle pressure at 20°C (paint temperature) min. 28 MPa (= approx. 280 bar; 4061 p.s.i.)
at 30°C (paint temperature) min. 28 MPa (= approx. 280 bar; 4061 p.s.i.)
– use heavy duty single feed airless spray equipment preferably 60:1 pump
ratio and suitable high pressure hoses
– in -line heating or insulated hoses may be necessary to avoid cooling down
of paint in hoses at low air temperature
– application with 45: 1 spray equipment possible provided in-line heated high
pressure hoses are used
– in case of using 45: 1 airless spray equipment the paint must be heated to
approx. 30°C in order to obtain the right application viscosity
– length of hoses should be as short as possible.

BRUSH/ROLLER for stripe coating and spot repair only

Recommended thinner no thinner should be added

CLEANING SOLVENT Thinner 90-83 (preferred) or Thinner 90-53

– all application equipment must be cleaned immediately after use
– paint inside the spraying equipment must be removed before the pot life time
has been expired
