Durapoxy 200

Epoxy Enamel  

Product Description

Durapoxy 200 is a two-component high solid epoxy coating formulated for demanding marine and chemical environments. The cured coating offers excellent adhesion to metals, wood, concrete etc. and combine hardness with good flexibility. Either clear or pigmented, the coating presents a high gloss appearance and exhibits excellent resistance to fumes, spillage and splash of acids, alkalis, solvents, chemicals, jet fuel, grease etc.

Features and Benefits

• Easy to apply and can be applied via airless spray, conventional spray, brush or roller.

• Excellent resistance to corrosion, erosion, abrasion, chemical attack and other destructive conditions.

• Provides excellent resistance to dilute acids, alkalis, crude oil, diesel fuel, kerosene, gasoline, jet fuel, salt water, and water.

• Can be applied over metal and concrete surfaces.

• Has excellent adhesion, toughness, abrasion resistance and overall chemical and solvent resistance.

• Has very low water and water vapour permeability.

• Suitable for varied end applications i.e. ideal for heavy industrial, chemical, marine, splash and spillage, fresh water, sea water and chemical immersion.

• Exhibit long-term protection and is cost-effective.

Recommended uses:

Performance Information

 Surface Preparation:

Steel - The surface should be blast cleaned to SSPC-SP 10-63T or NACE No. 2 i.e. loose rust and scales, dirt, grease, oil, paint, wax, weak oxide films and other contaminants should be removed. Blast cleaning to SSPC-SP 5-63 or NACE No. 1 is recommended where heavy corrosive conditions exist or coating is required to be immersed. That means a surface with a grey metallic colour, slightly roughened to form a suitable anchor pattern for coatings. This surface is free of all oil, grease, dirt, mill scale, rust, corrosion products, oxides, paint and other foreign matter. In absence of blast cleaning, prepare the metal surface by wire brushing, sanding, grinding, scrapping or chipping with hand or power tools. Remove all the contaminants. Apply one coat of Anticora EZP 500 Epoxy Zinc Phosphate Primer or Anticora EZC 500 Epoxy Zinc Chrome Primer. Then apply two to three coats of Durapoxy 200 Epoxy Enamel.

Non-ferrous Metals - Remove dirt, dust, oil, old paint etc. Degrease the surface with degreasing solvents like xylene or tri-chloroethylene. Apply one coat of Anuprime - 291 Wash Primer for obtaining maximum adhesion. Apply one coat of Anticora EZP 500 followed by one or two coats of Durapoxy 200 Epoxy Enamel.

Concrete: Concrete surfaces should be grey or grey-white color and free from pits, pockets and holes. Prepare the surface with abrasive blasting or power tools. Surface imperfections should be filled in with DURAPATCH. No cement dust or sand should be dislodged. In absence of blasting, etch the surface with 10-15% muriatic acid diluted in water. Allow this acid solution to remain on the surface for 10-15 minutes or until the bubbling stops. Thoroughly rinse the floor with water to remove all traces of acid. Allow the floor to dry completely before painting.

Concrete surface requiring a primer should be primed with this coating reduced 33% with Anusol - ETP Epoxy Thinner for assuring maximum penetration of the coating into the concrete and a better bond of coating system to the substrate. After the initial coat has dried for 24 hours, apply 2-3 full coats of the same unreduced coating.

TECHNICAL DATA

Notes

• Brushes and spray equipments should be cleaned with Anusol - ETP Epoxy Thinner.

•  The contents should be stirred thoroughly prior to use.

•  After mixing Base and Hardener in recommended proportions, allow for 30 minutes induction period or sweat-in-time (maturing) before application.

•  When overcoating the weathered or aged Durapoxy 200, ensure that the coating is fully free from all contamination such as oil, dust, grease, stains etc.

• This coating should always be thinned with Anusol - ETP Epoxy Thinner. The use of alternative thinners can severely inhibit the curing mechanism of the coating.
