- Intended applications
For use in high performance industrial & commercial constructions where aesthetical importance is a factor. Application over suitability prepared steels surfaces such as inorganic zinc (IOZ) primers, hot dip galvanized, DTM and epoxy hybrid anti-corrosion primers & intermediates. IPS 100 can be applied to cementitious substrates (DTC or primed) to protect the concrete from deterioration and chemical attack. Contact the Performance Polymerstechnical department for compatibility of such primers & intermediate coatings systems.
- Application methods
Airless, airspray and brush & roller
- Substrate temperature
Substrate temperature should remain between 10 to 50°C and remain 3°C above the dew point during application. Product application conditions range from 10 to 50°C & 30 - 85% relative humidity. Higher or lower temperatures & humidity’s will result in faster or slower curing respectively.
Application of IPS 100 by airless or airspray are the preferred application methods when applied over suitably prepared substrates. Applications of 2 or 3 coat systems will depend on requirements needed from the protective coating system. Please consult Performance Polymers for further information on coating specifications.
- Application
Airless
Pump: 30:1 or larger
Tip size: 0.012 - 0.017 inch
Pressure: 1741 - 2321 psi / 120 - 160 bar
Thinning: Not recommended
Airspray (conventional)
Pressure: 30 - 40 psi / 2.1 - 2.8 bar
Nozzle orifice: 1.8 - 2.2mm
Thinning: Not recommended
Brush/roller
Thinning: Not recommended
Multiple application coats maybe necessary to ensure 75 - 150µm DFT is reached.
Mixing
IPS 100 is a single component product, settling can °Ccur during transport & storage. The material should always be mixed using a mechanical agitation ensuring all settled-out pigments are dispersed until a uniform consistency is reached.
Reactivity
IPS 100 is reactive with moisture, skinning can °Ccur once opened and atmospherically exposed. To prevent skinning keep covered at all times.
Reducer
Product is application ready and does not require thinning. In exceptional circumstances thinning maybe used upon application to hot substrates (50 - 130°C) in such a case consult Performance Polymers.
Clean up Use
Thinner X21 for cleaning after product use. Ensuring all material is flushed from application equipment.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Surface preparation
Substrates must be clean, dry and free from any contamination. All oil, dirt, grease, dust, foreign material and loose rust must be removed prior to coating.
Carbon steel substrates
Always apply IPS 100 over suitable primed surfaces, an anti-corrosion primer should be used in accordance with Performance Polymers recommendation. The primer surface must be clean and free from contamination, ensuring application is within the maximum overcoating time stated on the technical data sheet of the specific primer coating.
Inorganic zinc primed substrates
Inorganic zinc (IOZ) primer overcoating; prior to application ensure primer surface is clean and free from contamination including zinc salts. The primer must be fully cured, an MEK rub test in accordance with the l°Cal standard is highly recommended. Hot dip galvanized overcoating; prior to application remove all sharp edges, runs & drips by grinding or filing followed by abrasive sweep with a non-metallic abrasive media to create a surface profile (Rz) >25µm. For highly corrosive environments eg coastal, C5 or C4 a primer is recommended.
Aluminum and stainless steel substrates
Use an abrasive sweep with a non-metallic chloride free abrasive media to create a surface profile (Rz) >25µm.
Cementitious substrates
Free of dust, loose and friable particles, oil, efflorescence and existing paint coatings. Cracks in concrete must be repaired prior to application of IPS 100. Cleaning is best achieved by steam cleaning or sweep blasting. Best results are obtained on dry, clean and crack free cementitious surfaces. The substrate must look dry with no damp patches. New concrete must be at least 28 days old.
