Description
Two-component highly structured epoxy material pigmented with iron mica.
Scope and specifics of application
EPPEX MIO primer is used as a self-priming coating or a mechanically resistant intermediate coating in systems exposed to mechanical and/or chemical actions. Forms a hard and durable coating. In combination with a two-component primer and a finishing coat, it is a mechanically water- and chemically resistant coating system for long-term corrosion protection. It is used in shipbuilding and ship repair, for painting bridges and lighthouses.
Instruction for use
Metal surface should be abrasive blasted to grade 1 or 2 due to GOST 9.402 (Sa 2^(1/2) or Sa 2 to ISO 8501-1:2007). Cleaned surface must be free of dust and grease. If the quality of surface preparation decreases, the service life and its operating performance may change.
Conditions
Two component epoxy primer EPPEX MIO is applied on the surface at the air temperature from +50С to +350С and relative humidity no more 80%. Surface temperature should be 30 higher than dew point.
The process of applying
|
Blending |
The product is two components. Component А is a dispersion of pigments and anticorrosion filler in epoxy resin. Component B is a hardener solution. Mix the contents of the containers in the supplied proportions. After mixing, use within the specified pot life. Mixing sequence: The basis (component A) is mixed with a construction mixer. Then mixed hardener (component B) is added to the basis (component A) and thoroughly mixed with a construction mixer. Attention! Careless mixing or incorrect ratio can lead to uneven curing and painting film properties weakening. |
