HI-AQU 8471 Water-borne Epoxy Mastic Primer

Product description

HI-AQU 8471 Water-borne Epoxy High-build Primer is a two-component, high-build water-borne epoxy coating with corrosion resistance and application properties.

Product use

Used as an environmentally friendly primer or intermediate coat for new construction and maintenance of steel structures and equipment in medium to severe corrosive atmospheric environments, or as a primer/topcoat for non-exposed inner walls of steel box girders, suitable for industries including bridges, petrochemical, municipal engineering, power industry, port machinery and mining equipment.

Physical properties

Surface Preparation

Remove oil and grease in accordance with SSPC-SP1 solvent cleaning.

Abrasive blast clean to Sa 2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP6 (SSPC-SP10 gives better results). If the blasted surface oxidises before application, it must be re-prepared to the specified standard. Surface defects exposed after blasting must be ground, filled or otherwise suitably treated. Surface roughness should be 40–75 µm.

Shop-primed surface This product may be applied over non-rusted inorganic zinc silicate shop primer. Prior to application, welds and damaged areas shall be abrasive blast cleaned to Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP6 (or SSPC-SP10 for better results). However, if the shop primer has extensively peeled or shows severe rusting, full abrasive blast cleaning is required. When this product is applied over shop primer, compatibility and adhesion shall be tested to ensure performance.

Repair of damaged areas Damaged areas shall be abrasive blast cleaned to Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP6 (for optimum performance, blast clean to SSPC-SP10). If local areas cannot be abrasive blast cleaned, mechanical abrading to St3 (ISO 8501-1:2007) is permitted. HI-AQU 8471 application may proceed only after surface preparation.

Prior to HI-AQU 8471 application, ensure the surface to be coated is clean and dry, and application must be carried out within the specified recoat interval (refer to the relevant product application instructions).

Other surfaces: if this coating is to be applied to other surfaces, consult the Nippon Paint Industrial Coatings Protective Coatings division.

HI-AQU 8471 Water-borne Epoxy High-build Primer is not recommended for application at ambient temperatures below 5 °C or above 50 °C and relative humidity above 75%; steel plate

Application conditions

The temperature should be at least 3 °C above the dew point of the surrounding air.

Application guidance

The base and curing agent must be mixed thoroughly before use.

Once mixed, use within the pot life.

Application method

Roller/brush/air spray: for touch-up and small-area application. Airless spray: for large-area application. Regardless of the method, the specified dry film thickness must be achieved.

Application parameters

Note: *Before overcoating, the surface shall be free of chalking and contamination. When the film has been exposed outdoors for a long time and the surface is smooth or contaminated, overcoat adhesion may be affected; therefore the film surface shall be abraded, sweep-blasted or high-pressure water-jetted to ensure adequate adhesion.

The data above are for guidance only. Actual recoat and drying times may be shorter or longer depending on film thickness, ventilation, humidity, coating system, and prior hand or mechanical preparation conditions.

The following intermediate coats/topcoats may be used with HI-AQU 8471 Water-borne Epoxy High-build Primer

Packaging; curing agent

Storage

Storage shall be in accordance with national regulations. The product shall be kept in closed containers in a dry, cool, well-ventilated warehouse, away from heat and ignition sources. Storage temperature is 5–35 °C. The above is the minimum shelf life; beyond this period, testing is required to determine whether continued use is acceptable.

• Thin with deionised water; tap water may contain unknown impurities that affect coating performance.

Precautions

• Stir thoroughly before use to ensure uniform mixing.
• Thinned paint settles faster; stir while applying.
• Once opened, use the coating in one operation.
• At low ambient temperature or high relative humidity, drying slows; force drying may be used to speed it up.
• For professional use only. Refer to the safety information on the packaging and the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before use.
• Use in a well-ventilated area. Avoid skin contact. In case of accidental splashes on skin, wash immediately with a suitable cleaner or soap and water.
• In case of eye contact, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water and seek medical examination.
• If swallowed, seek medical attention as soon as possible.
• Maintain good ventilation during application.
• If in doubt about the use of this product, consult Nippon Paint.
