EPINOX 60
Epoxy primer
- Conductive (ESD)
- Corrosion protective
- 2-component
- Solvent-borne
- Primer
Fast curing, two component epoxy paint, containing inert pigments, cured with polyamines.
For priming of steel surfaces of tanks and installations before painting with antielectrostatic TEKNOS coatings. Coating with very good adhesion to surfaces, flexible and resistant to mechanical factors. Coating has antielectrostatic properties (volume resistivity maximum 10⁴Ω). It is not necessary to remove it before overpainting with antielectrostatic coating eg. INERTA 266 (EPITAN 66).
Technical data sheet
Surface preparation
Before cleaning of surface, it is recommended to wash it with water with addition of OLICLEAN 123 and then rinse with fresh water. The surfaces are prepared according to the different materials as follows:
STEEL SURFACES: The surface to be treated must be dry, salt-, grease-, dust- and rust-free, cleaned to the degree of cleanliness according to ISO 8501-1 at least Sa 2½.
Additional instructive information for surface preparation can be found in standards EN ISO 12944-4 and ISO 8501-2.
Application
Take into consideration the pot life of the mixture when estimating the amount to be mixed at a time. Before application the base and hardener are mixed in right proportion. Stir thoroughly down to the bottom of the vessel. Inadequate stirring or incorrect mixing ratio results in imperfect curing and impaired film properties.
Apply by airless spray or brush.
Airless spray parameter:
Nozzle size 0.013 - 0.019".
Nozzle pressure 10-15 MPa.
Antielectrostatic properties of coating systems and coating-laminates systems based on EPINOX® 60, glass fabric, EPITAN 66 were validated in protocol No 01/295/2002 by Institute of Industrial Organic Chemistry. According to decision, coatings are suitable for explosion hazard zones, classified by regulation of Ministry of the Interior dated 3 November 1992 (Dz. U. No 92 from 10 Dec. 1992), without any limitations.
Application conditions
During the application and drying period the temperature of the ambient air and the surface shall be above +10°C and the relative air humidity below 85%. The temperature of the surface to be treated must be at least +3°C above the dew point of the ambient air. Adequate ventilation during application and drying period is recommended.
Storage
The storage stability is shown on the label. Store in a cool place and in tightly closed containers.
