PRODUCT DESCRlPTlON

Epoprimo^TM Coating  is an ultra surface and moisture tolerant high solids epoxy coating engineered to provide outstanding adhesion and anti-cor-rosion performance over a wide range of surface preparation techniques  including water jetting, abrasive blasting, and hand or power tool cleaning. The unique formulation of Epoprimo^TM allows it be applied over damp and medium flash rusted metal substrates and without dew point restrictions. This characteristic significantly broadens acceptable application windows  to drive efficiencies in coating schedules for both new construction and  maintenance projects.

·Excellent substrate and intercoat adhesion

·No dew point or relative humidity restrictions

·Excellent anti-corrosive properties

·May be applied over medium flash rust

·Approved at substrate and ambient temperatures as low as 35°F (2℃)

APPLICATIONS

Epoprimo^TM is an anti-corrosive coating for long-service-life protection of marine and industrial plant assets. It is a surface-and-moisture - tolerant epoxy coatingthat provides excellent performance in a wide array of applications in both immersion and atmospheric exposures including new construction, conversion, repair, andmaintenance overcoat applications.

· Marine external hulls, decks, ballast and void tanks, bilges,and wet spaces

· Oil & Gas offshore platforms, refineries, storage tanks, piping, and structural steel

· Steel bridges

· Water/Wastewater dams, pipe galleries, penstocks, tank externals

PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS

SURFACE PREPARATlON

Surface must be clean and in sound condition. Remove all oil,dust, grease, dirt, loose rust, and other foreign material to ensure adequate adhesion.

Epoprimo^TM is tolerant of hydroblasted, wet or dry abrasive blasted or mechanically treated surfaces:

·Abrasive blasting:SSPC SP6 or NACE3(ISO8501-1:2007 Sa2)

·Hydroblasting:WJ-2M(SSPC SP12)

·Mechanically Treated: SSPC SP3(ISO8501-1:2007)

*Recommended surface profile 2-3 mils (50-75 microns)

Additional Advantages: Independent of the type of surface preparation, Epoprimo^TM's moisture tolerance allows for a clean water surface washing before coating to reduce salt contamination. This procedural allowance means that SC2 non-visual standards (NACE 5 / SSPC-SP12) can easily be reached, Epoprimo^TM's tolerance to iron oxides allows for proceeding with the coating application even over a considerably flash-rusted surface (equivalent to M degree as described in SSPC VIS4 (I)/ NACE 7 standard).

Recoating over existing coatings in good condition: Epoprimo^TM in most cases can be applied over existing sound coating systems. Adhesion with existing coatings should be tested in a small area, before painting, also the adhesion of the old material should be verified. All loose materials should be removed.

Please contact our Technical Support team to evaluate surface preparation alternatives. Acceptable surface cleaning and degreasing is required. Abrading the old coating surface, to promote adhesion, is also recommended.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

· It is strictly forbidden to have any open flames in the batching and construction site, and good ventilation should be maintained. Construction personnel must wear protective gear to avoid skin contact. If the paint splashes on the skin, it should be cleaned immediately with an appropriate cleaning agent or soapy water. If it splashes into the eyes, rinse them repeatedly with clean water, keep the eyes open, and seek medical treatment immediately.

DISCLAIMER

· The above information is compiled based on the actual tests and usage experience of our company's technical personnel and can be used as a construction guide. However, due to differences in the painting environment and supporting schemes, it is recommended that users conduct preliminary tests and trials according to their actual needs and purposes before confirming the use. Our company guarantees the quality and stability of the product itself. When our technical personnel are not present at the painting site, our responsibility is limited to the quality of the coating product alone.

· The protective effect of any coating highly depends on the painting construction. Construction factors such as surface treatment and film thickness will directly affect the service life of the coating. When using this product, users should meet the agreed construction conditions.
