Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Recommended Use
- Designed to provide corrosion protection for metal and concrete structures in offshore marine and petrochemical services, sheet piles, underground and submarine pipes, waste water tanks, jetty piles, underground tanks and other structural steel that requires protection against corrosion in aggressive environment.
- It is most suitable for rehabilitation of corroded steel and concrete structures in tidal zone and below water line where conventional protective coatings are not applicable. It is an ideal maintenance coating for cold pipes with condensation.
- Surface Preparation
- Remove oil and grease from surface to be painted with suitable degreaser prior to painting for surfaces above water.
Steel:
- For maximum protection, wet abrasive blasting to remove surface contaminants and create surface profile about 50 to 75 microns.
- Ultra - high pressure hydro jetting is acceptable for maintenance of previously painted surfaces.
- Dry abrasive blast cleaning to minimum standard Sa 1 & for repair of small area minimum standard St 3.
Concrete:
- Wet blasting or high pressure water jet blasting is recommended to remove surface contaminants before application of coatings.
- Mixing
- Mix Part A thoroughly then add in Part B and continue to mix till homogeneous.
- Do not mix more materials than the quantity to be consumed within the pot life.
- Thinning
- Thinning is not allowed for underwater applications.
- For applications above water to overcome issue related to workability of spray equipment, not more than 10% by weight of relevant Thinner is allowed.
- Applications
- Can be applied by brush, roller or spray above water and for underwater applications, brush or roller is recommended.
- Cleaning
Clean all application tools with relevant cleaner immediately after use.
- Theoretical Coverage
- 3.83 m2/kg.
- At 150 microns DFT.
