CeraMaxx is intended for industrial applications, either new build or maintenance. CeraMaxx is suitable for application on properly prepared steel, concrete, masonry, or other substrates where mechanical, chemical, and thermal protection is required. CeraMaxx must be topcoated to achieve the best results.
Industries:
- Oilfield & Energy Services
- Chemical Facilities
- Power Plants
- Water Treatment Facilities
- Waste and Recycling Industry
- Mix Ratio
- 4 parts by volume of component A
- 1 part by volume of component B
The recommended temperature when mixed is 68 - 77°F (20-25°C).
- Surface Preparation
Surface must be free of all contaminants such as dust, oil, grease and salt. It is recommended that all steel and other ferrous surfaces be sandblasted a minimum of SSPC- SP6 or mechanically sanded with 80 grit sandpaper. CeraMaxx uses surface tolerant resins allowing for application over marginally prepared steel.
- Application Method
CeraMaxx can be applied using most spray painting systems. Apply one to two single wet coats. Allow 30 minutes to a maximum of 4 hours flash time between coats depending on film build. Apply CeraMaxx in a crosshatch pattern.
- Spray Gun Setup
Feed Type Fluid Tip Application Pressures (Heel of Gun) Fluid Delivery Siphon Feed 1.6 - 1.8 mm 40 - 50 psi Gravity Feed 1.3 - 1.6 mm 30 - 50 psi Pressure Feed 1.0 - 1.40 mm 55 - 65 psi 12 - 14 oz/min Air Assist Airless 9 - 13 Thou 1000 - 1800 psi Airless 9 - 13 Thou 1700 - 3000 psi - Spray Viscosity
Note: Spraying viscosity and thinning will depend on ambient conditions, spray equipment used, and the desired surface finish. Thinning is not typically required.
- Film Build
EP HiBuild Primer has a recommended film build thickness of:
WFT (Unreduced) Up to 10.5 mils Upto 267 microns
DFT Upto 8 mils Upto 229 microns
The recommended dry film thickness is above the blast/sanding profile.
Theoretical coverage at 1.0 mil (25 microns)
DFT: 1214 ft² per gallon at 100% transfer efficiency.
- Dry Times
20 - 25°C Dry to Touch 4 - 6 Hours Recoat Time 8 - 12 Hours Dry to Handle 1 Day Full Cure 5 - 7 Days Note: Dry Times are subject to ambient conditions (temperature and humidity) and good airflow and film build of the topcoat.
For best results surface temperature must be 86°F (30°C) or less before top coating. Maximum re-coat window without sanding is 12 hours at 68°F (20°C). After the topcoat window has been exceeded CeraMaxx must be sanded to achieve inter-coat adhesion. Recommended 320-400 grit mechanical sanding before top coating.
- Top Coating Infomation
Ceramaxx can be topcoated with the entire range of Endura topcoat products.
- Clean Up
Clean all equipment immediately after use with Endura High Strength Gun Wash, Endura epoxy reducer or Endura EX-2C thinner.

Safety & Health
- Environmental Conditions
For optimum coating performance, product, substrate and ambient temperature should be between 68°F - 77°F (20°C - 25°C). To prevent condensation during application, the surface temperature must be 5°F (3°C) or more above the dew point at all times.
