Technical Details & Test Data
- Surface preparation
Intended for steels, both carbon & stainless & aluminum substrates. 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.
Primed carbon steel
Duraprime ST; Abrasive blast clean to Sa 2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP10. The resulting surface profile (Rz) should be 30 - 50µm. All sharp edges & rough welds should be rounded off. Followed by application of Thermaguard™ TIC 180 in accordance with the technical specification.
Duraprime ST has surface tolerance to maintenance work applications to tight adhering rusted surfaces; remove all loose adhering rust & rust scale and follow St 2/3 surface preparation. Followed by application of Thermaguard™ TIC 180 in accordance with the technical specification.
Stainless steel
Abrasive sweep clean using a non-metallic & chloride free abrasive (aluminum oxide or garnet). The resulting surface profile (Rz) should be 30 - 50µm. All sharp edges & rough welds should be rounded off.
- System specifications
Thermaguard™ TIC 180 in a 2 coat application for insulation & personal protection factors.
Carbon steel, ambient spray (10 to 50°C) application:
- Duraprime ST: 100 - 250µm DFT
- Thermaguard™ TIC 180: 500 - 1000µm DFT
- Thermaguard™ TIC 180: 500 - 1000µm DFT
Application of Thermaguard™ TIC 180 by airless is the recommended application method when applied over primed carbon steel or abrasively swept stainless steel (Rz >30µm). Application by brush should only be done during small areas (>1 sqm) or in maintenance & repair.
Stainless steel, ambient spray (10 to 50°C) application:
- Thermaguard™ TIC 180: 500 - 1000µm DFT
- Thermaguard™ TIC 180: 500 - 1000µm DFT
If colored finishes are required whether for safety recognition or aesthetical purposes, Aquaseal Acrylic TS can be used, please see technical data sheet for further information regarding this product.
