- Use
This product is especially designed to provide long-term protection to primed, unpainted or previously painted steel. It may be used to extend the life of structures previously painted with lead and chromate containing coatings and thus avoid the generation of toxic by-products that sandblasting would entail. This product is ideal for protecting and extending the life of metal buildings, fences, piping, process equipment, tanks, bridges and structural steel.
- Recoatability
Induraguard may be used as a single coat, recoated with itself or topcoated with Induron Perma-Clean II Epoxy, Induron Armorguard Epoxy, Induron Indurethane, or Induron Aquanaut© finishes.
- Surface Preparation
- Steel (Non-Immersion) - For best results, SSPC-SP 6 Commercial Blast and remove all surface contaminants. Prime with PE-70 Epoxy, RC-70 Epoxy, Perma-Clean II Primer, Indurazinc MC-67, or other recommended Induron primers.
- Steel (Immersion) - Use SSPC-SP 10 Near White Blast.
- Aluminum - Prime with Induron Vinyl Wash Primer.
- Galvanized Steel - Prime with Induron Vinyl Wash Primer.
- Concrete Construction - New concrete must cure for at least 28 days. Verify dryness by testing for moisture per “ASTM D4263 Plastic Sheet Method”. Must be clean, dry and sound concrete substrates that are free of all curing compounds, oils, greases or any other contaminants. All concrete surfaces shall be made free of voids, cracks and other imperfections using Induron EFS 707 Epoxy Surfacer or other approved surface/filler. Prepare the surface per ICRI 310.2 to achieve surface profile to meet a CSP 2-4.
- Corroded Steel (Non-immersion) - Remove loose rust scale and poorly adhered old paint using water blast and/or hand and power tools. Remove oil and grease per SSPC-SP 1 Solvent Cleaning. For severe industrial exposures, a brush off blast cleaning is recommended.
- Old Paint - Remove all peeling and TECHNICAL DATA INDURAGUARD SEMI-GLOSS EPOXY 0214 poorly adhered paint using water blast and/or hand and power tools. Remove oil and grease per SSPCSP 1 Solvent Cleaning. A test patch is recommended over existing coatings.
- Limitations
Not recommended for dry service temperatures exceeding 200°F, or immersion service at temperatures exceeding 120°F. Do not use when substrate temperature is below 45°F.
- Application
Blend Ratio
One part Induraguard Part A to one part by volume Induraguard Part B. Blend components thoroughly using power agitation. Allow components to stand 15 minutes prior to beginning application.
- Airless Spray - Use 0.015-0.017 tip; 30:1 Pump ratio at 80-100 psi operating air pressure.
- Conventional Spray - Follow equipment manufacturer's instructions for the application of epoxy coatings.
- Roll - Use lambswool cover. Additional coats may be required to achieve desired film thickness.
- Brush - Use natural bristle brush. Additional coats may be required to achieve desired film thickness.
Thinning
For airless spray applications, use unthinned. If required, thin up to 10% with Induron K-1034 Reducer.
Climate
Use this product only if the substrate temperature and ambient air temperature is above 45°F and is expected not to decrease for at least two hours after application. Also, the substrate temperature must be 5°F above the dewpoint for a period of at least two hours after application to avoid condensation occurring on wet paint.

- Note
Lower temperature, higher film build, and/or poor ventilation will retard dry time. E-60 Accelerator may be used to increase the normal curing rate of reaction to provide a rapid low
temperature cure.
