Gulf Coast Paint PC-590

A 100% solids, two component cycloaliphatic epoxy coating. PC-590 provides very low permeability along with excellent impact and abrasion resistance. Formulated with a unique moisture insensitive polymer, PC-590 may be applied on wet surfaces or underwater without effect on cure. A special resin modification produces a low modulus, flexible film, making PC-590 ideal for painting over existing sound paint without “lifting”. Recommended for steel and concrete surfaces. In general, a universal high performance air cured chemical resistant coating. We also offer a higher viscosity cycloaliphatic epoxy coating, PC-591.

    Features & Benefits

    Product Features
    • Self priming – no primer needed. Ideal for marginally prepared surface.
    • High film build – 20 mil DFT per coat on horizontal surfaces.
    • May be applied on wet or under water surfaces.
    • Cures down to 35°F. Outstanding impact, flexibility and abrasion.
    • Excellent coating for wet ends of paper machines.
    • Meets all EPA and other air pollution regulations.
    • * Gloss will exhibit slight variation in brush or rolled film due to orientation of fillers. This does not affect product performance.

    Product Uses

    Poly-ChemCure PC-590 is a true wet process epoxy coating ideal for use in paper and pulp mills, chemical processes, waste water treatment facilities, fertilizer plants, electric generating stations, ore recovery facilities, mining sites, refineries, dairies, laundries, dams, marine environments such as pilings, submarine pens, wet ends of paper machines, bleach plants, cooling towers, clarifiers, piers, underwater applications, and many kinds of wet process conditions. Ideal for upgrading the performance of existing “old paint” surfaces, and for remedial painting of “less-than-ideal” surface preparations or conditions during application. Inclement weather will seldom interfere with paint schedules. When mixed with a blend of silica flour and sand, PC-590 may be used to repair underwater, or below grade leaks in steel or concrete structures. Perfect for use in conjunction with wet abrasive or high pressure water blast preparation. PC-590 may be applied without waiting for the surface to dry, therefore, elimination “fall out” contamination.
