RECOMMENDED
SUBSTRATE CONDITIONS
AND TEMPERATURES
for immersion exposure:
steel or steel with not approved zinc silicate shop primer; blast cleaned
(dry or wet) to ISO-Sa2, blasting profile 30 - 75 m
steel with approved zinc silicate shop primer; weld seams and areas of
damaged shop primer or breakdown should be blast cleaned to ISOSa2, blasting profile 30 - 75 m or power tool cleaned to SPSS-Pt3
coated steel; hydrojetted to VIS WJ2 L (blasting profile 30 - 75 m)
IMO-MSC.215(82) Requirements for Water Ballast Tanks:
steel; ISO 8501-3:2006 grade P2, with all edges treated to a rounded
radius of minimum 2 mm or subject to three pass grinding or at least
equivalent process before painting
steel or steel with not approved zinc silicate shop primer; blast cleaned to
ISO-Sa2, blasting profile 30 - 75 m
steel with approved zinc silicate shop primer; weld seams and areas of
damaged shop primer or breakdown should be blast cleaned to ISOSa2, blasting profile 30 - 75 m
for shop primer with IMO type approval; no additional requirements
for shop primer without IMO type approval; blast cleaned to
ISO-Sa2 removing at least 70% of intact shop primer, blasting
profile 30 - 75 m
dust quantity rating "1" for dust size class "3", "4" or "5", lower dust size
classes to be removed if visible on the surface to be coated without
magnification (ISO 8502-3:1992)
for atmospheric exposure conditions:
steel; blast cleaned to ISO-Sa2, blasting profile 30 - 75 m or
according to ISO-St3
shop primed steel; pretreated to SPSS-Pt3
galvanised steel; cleaned from grease, salts, contamination and
roughened up
previous coat; (e.g. SigmaPrime 200) dry and free from any contamination
substrate temperature should be above 5C and at least 3C above dew
point during application and curing
maximum relative humidity during application and curing is 85%

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
mixing ratio by volume: base to hardener 80 : 20
Induction time
Pot life
the temperature of the mixed base and hardener should preferably be
above 15C, otherwise extra solvent may be required to obtain application
viscosity
too much solvent results in reduced sag resistance and slower cure
thinner should be added after mixing the components
none
7 hours at 20 C *
