- Recommended Uses
Endura EP-2C Sealer CF is intended for industrial applications; either new build or maintenance. EP-2C Sealer CF is suitable for application on properly sanded or sandblasted steel, properly prepared aluminum, fiberglass, reinforced plastics, existing finishes and polyester fillers. This primer must be topcoated to achieve the best results.
Industries:
- Oilfield & Energy Services
- Well Service vehicles
- Cranes and Construction Equipment
- Trailers & Rolling Stock
- Waste and Recycling Industry
- Garbage Trucks[
- Mix Ratio
1 part by volume of component A and 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 cleaned to a minimum of SSPC-SP6 or mechanically sanded with 180 grit sandpaper.
- Application Method
EP-2C Sealer CF can be applied using most spray painting systems. Apply a single coat. If a second coat is required allow sufficient flash time between coats (20-30 minutes).
- 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 1.6 - 1.8 mm 30 - 40 psi Pressure Feed 1.4 - 1.8 mm 50 - 60 psi 10 - 14 oz/min Air Assist Airless 9 - 11 Thou 1000 - 1800 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-2C Sealer CF has a recommended film build thickness of:
WFT (Unreduced) 3 - 4 mils 76 - 102 microns
DFT 1 - 1.5mils microns
The recommended dry film thickness is above the blast/ sanding profile.
Theoretical coverage at 1.0 mil (25 microns) DFT: 592 ft² per gallon at 100% transfer efficiency
Loss of topcoat adhesion may result if recommended film build parameters are not followed.
- Dry Times

For best results, surface temperature must be 86°F (30°C) or less before top coating. Maximum re-coat window without sanding is 24 hours at 68°F (20°C). Recommended mechanical sanding with 220-320 grit after the topcoat window has been exceeded.
- Top Coating Infomation
This Product can be top coated 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.
