Description
Two-component Epoxy based polyamide cured Intermediate coat containing lamellar Micaceous Iron Oxide pigment forbarrier protection.
Recommended Use
This intermediate high build coat is suitable for protection of steel structures in aggressive coastal and industrialatmosphere. Applications includes ship loaders, hoppers, conveyors, storage tanks, pipelines and general structures in fertilizer plants, refineries, petrochemical and pharmaceutical complexes, chemical plants, power plants, steel and cement plants, smelters, engineering industries, etc., This being an intermediated coat, it has to be applied on a recommended primer coat based on prevailing service conditions.
Physical Data

Surface Preparation
This being intermediate/finish paint, it is applied either over primer. The surface should be free from moisture, oil and dust before application. In case of aged epoxy coating/exceeded over coating, the surface should be sufficiently roughened prior to painting
Application Data
MIXING RATIO : Base : Hardener (As per our recommendationsAPPLICATION : By Brush / By Conventional Spray / By Airless Spray
THINNER : Type 002
POT LIFE : 3 hours min at 30® C
RECOMMENDED DFT : 60 – 80 µ.
OVERCOATING INTERVAL : Min. : 16 hours Max.: Indefinite
COMPATIBILITY : Can be top coated by Epoxy, PU, Chlorinated Rubber and synthetic enamel
paints. Compatible with Epoxy and zinc rich primers.
Application Method
Mix the base and hardener in the recommended ratio by volume. Stir the mix gently to attain homogeneity. Add thinner Type 002 into the mix and stir gently for few minutes. Allow the mixture to stand still (maturation) for about 10-15 minutes to initiate the reaction. All equipments used for above should be properly clean.
Application : By Brush / By Conventional Spray / By Airless Spray Generally no thinner is required for Brus application, however under adverse enviornmental conditions about 5% ofthinner, by volume can be added. Use quality brushes for paint application. Brushes made up of hog bristles are highly recommended. Size of the brush should be in proportion the work in hand. Large size brushes (100 -125 mm) for large areas and small brushes (25 – 50 mm) for narrow areas should be used
For Conventional Spray application:
Thinner : Type 002
Addition : 5-15%, if required
Nozzle Orifice : 1.8 – 2 mm
Nozzle Pressure: 45 – 75 p.s.i.
For Airless Spray application:
Thinner : Type 002
Addition : Max 5%, if required
Nozzle Orifice : 0.42 – 0.53 mm
Nozzle Pressure: 2100 – 2400 p.s.i.
Notes
1. Do not apply paint when temperature falls below 10® C or rises above 50® C when Relative Humidity is above 85%
& during rain, fog or mist. Surface temperature must always be minimum of 3 ® C above Dew point.
2. Brushes and Spray equipment should be cleaned with KP’s recommended thinner otherwise equipment is liable to be damaged.
3. Volume solids will vary depending on requirements. Products with different volume solids with ‘Amine Hardener’ are also available on requests.
4. DFT variation can be obtained by change in application method / thinning ratio. Contact Khodal Paints representative for further assistance.
5. Shelf life indicated is minimum for this Prodcut in sealed conditions and it is subject to re-inspection thereafter. Individual component is required to be stored in cool, dry and covered condition away from heat and ignition
Health & Safety
This is a solvent based paint and care should be taken to avoid inhalation of spray or eyes. Mist or vapours as well as contact between the wet paint and exposed skin.
