Revision of April 2009

Description two component polyamine cured epoxy tiecoat

PRINCIPAL CHARACTERISTICS – final coat in epoxy underwater anticorrosive systems


– epoxy tiecoat for use with Sigma antifoulings as specified
– excellent water resistance
– good abrasion and impact resistance

COLOURS AND GLOSS black, grey – flat

BASIC DATA AT 20 °C (1 g/cm³ = 8.35 lb/US gal; 1 m²/l = 40.7 ft²/US gal)
(data for mixed product)
Mass density 1.3 g/cm³
Volume solids 61% ± 2%
VOC (Directive 1999/13/EC, SED) max. 271 g/kg (Directive 1999/13/EC, SED)
VOC (UK PG 6/23(92) appendix 3) max. 365 g/l (approx. 3.0 lb/gal)
Recommended dry film thickness 75 - 125 μm
Theoretical spreading rate 8.2 m²/l for 75 μm
4.9 m²/l for 125 μm
Touch dry after 8 hours at 20 °C

Overcoating interval min. 12 hours *


max. 14 days *
Full cure after 14 days * at 20 °C
(data for components)

Shelf life (cool and dry place) at least 12 months


* see additional data

RECOMMENDED – previous coat; dry and free from any contamination


SUBSTRATE CONDITIONS – substrate temperature should be above -5°C during application and curing
AND TEMPERATURES and at least 3°C above dew point and free from ice and any contamination
– during application and curing a substrate temperature down to -5°C is
possible, but curing to hardness takes longer and complete resistance will
be reached when temperature increases

SYSTEM SPECIFICATION marine system sheets: 3101

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE mixing ratio by volume: base to hardener 86 : 14

– the temperature of the mixed base and hardener should preferably be


above 15°C, otherwise extra solvent may be required to obtain application
viscosity
– thinner should be added after mixing the components
– too much solvent results in reduced sag resistance and slower cure
Induction time when substrate temperature is below 10°C, allow induction time after mixing
of 15 minutes
