Revision of September 2005
two component high build, vinyl modied polyamine cured coal tar epoxy
coating
to be used as second coat on top of SigmaCover 300 brown
formulated as an adhesion coat for antifouling paints
good resistance against chemically polluted water
can be applied and cures at low temperatures (application possible down to
-5C, provided the substrate is free from ice)
good abrasion resistance
tolerates a dft up to 250 m at overlaps without sagging

previous coat; dry and free from any contamination
application and curing should take place at a temperature of at least 5C in
order to obtain the maximum resistance against chemical and mechanical
inuences
application at temperatures down to -5C is possible but curing to hardness
takes longer and complete cure will be reached when temperature increases
substrate temperature should be at least 3C above dew point
anticorrosive systems for underwater and boottop system sheet: 3101

mixing ratio by volume: base to hardener 89 : 11
the temperature of the mixed base and hardener should preferably be above
15C, otherwise extra solvent may be required to obtain application viscosity
too much solvent results in reduced sag resistance and slower cure
thinner should be added after mixing the components
allow induction time before use
15C - 30 min.

when overcoated with antifoulings tar bleeding will occur
adequate ventilation must be maintained during application and curing
(please refer to sheets 1433 and 1434)
when application has to be executed at low temperature care should be
taken that the temperature of the mixed paint is at least 15C, the induction
time should be increased to at least one hour

exposure to sea water is permitted after the initial curing time provided the
sea water temperature is 10C or more
if sea water temperature is 5C the initial curing time should be extended by
50%
if SigmaCover 510 has been applied by means of hot airless spray,
exposure to sea water is permitted after an initial cure of 4 hours
the mechanical strength, when cured at low temperature, is low initially, but
will increase quickly when exposed to sea water
adequate ventilation must be maintained during application and curing
