HI-EPOXY1495 Zinc-rich Epoxy Primer is a two-component, fast-drying, high-performance anti-corrosive primer that can
Forms a hard, abrasion-resistant anticorrosive coating with cathodic protection, and high coating compatibility and anticorrosive performance.
As a long-lasting high-performance anticorrosive primer, it can be combined with various Nippon Paint products to form a coating system with comprehensive anticorrosive performance, protecting facilities and structures in a wide range of corrosive environments across industries such as airports, industrial plants, petrochemical plants, bridges and power plants.

| Density | 2.24kg/L |
| VOC | 351 g/L Coating surfaces shall be clean, dry and free from contamination. Surface evaluation and cleaning standards refer to ISO8504. Oil and |
Grease shall be removed by solvent cleaning in accordance with SSPC-SP1.
Abrasive Blast Cleaning: Abrasive blast cleaning to Sa 2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP10 (SSPC-SP5 gives better results). If the blasted surface has oxidised before coating, it must be re-treated to meet the specified standard requirements. Surface defects exposed after blasting shall be treated by grinding, filling or other suitable methods.
Repair of Damaged Areas: Damaged areas must be abrasive blast cleaned to Sa 2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007). Where local blasting is not possible, mechanical grinding to St3 (ISO 8501-1:2007) may be used. Repair application of HI-EPOXY1495 Zinc-rich Epoxy Primer may proceed only after the surface preparation meets the specified requirements.
Before application of HI-EPOXY1495 Zinc-rich Epoxy Primer, ensure the surface to be coated is clean and dry, and application must be carried out within the specified recoat interval (refer to the application instructions of the relevant product).
Other surfaces: if this coating is to be applied to other surfaces, consult the local Nippon Paint company for further information.
Application is not recommended above 45 °C ambient temperature or above 85% relative humidity; the steel temperature must be at least 3 °C above the dew point of the surrounding air.

Note: *Before overcoating, the surface shall be free of chalking and contamination, and shall be sealed where necessary. 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, the underlying coating system, and prior hand or mechanical preparation conditions.

| Shelf life (from date of production) | Base: 12 months (25 °C) |
|---|
Curing agent: 12 months (25 °C). Store in accordance with national regulations. The product shall be kept sealed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated warehouse, away from heat and ignition sources. Excessively high temperatures shorten the storage period and may cause gelling of the paint in the can.
The above is the minimum shelf life; beyond this period, testing is required to determine whether the product can still be used.
