PROTAL 7200
Fast Cure, High Build Pipeline Coating
Protal 7200 is a VOC free, 100% solids, 2 part epoxy coating specially formulated to
Description compliment FBE coated pipe. It is a high build liquid coating that is brush or spray applied
(referred to as Protal 7250 in Canada) in one coat in the field or shop. It cures very fast to allow
quick handling and backfill times.
On-site protection of girth welds, tie-ins, welds for boring applications, repairs to FBE, push-
Uses rack applications, station piping, fittings and fabrication. Also used for main line pipe coating,
sacrificial coating for directional drill (ARO) and road bore pipe, and rehabilitation of existing
pipelines.
Brush: Prepare surfaces by grit blasting to a clean near-white finish, SSPC-SP 10 / NACE
Application No. 2. Appropriate angular grit shall be used to achieve a 2.5 to 5 mil (63 to 127 microns)
anchor profile. Initially stir the base and hardener. Add the hardener to base and mix at a
slow speed until a constant color is achieved making sure all sides of container are scraped.
Apply mixed material onto surface and brush, trowel or roll to required mil thickness. A wet-film
thickness gauge shall be used to measure mil thickness. If surface temperature falls below
50°F (10°C), surface should be preheated to achieve faster cure. Preheat may be achieved
with a propane torch or induction coil. Resin and hardener component shall be kept warm, at a
minimum of 60°F (15°C), to mix easily.
Spray: Prepare surfaces by grit blasting to a clean near-white finish, SSPC-SP 10 / NACE
No. 2. The equipment should be a plural component airless spray unit with a proportioning
pump capable of a volume mixing ratio of 3:1. Standard ancillary equipment should include
minimum 10 gallon (37.85 liter) hoppers, 2 ea. static mixers, 25 ft. (7.3 m) max x 1/4" (0.64
cm) whip hose, and mastic gun with a 19 to 27 thou tip. (Applicator should consult with Denso
regarding recommended equipment). Part A should be heated to 140°F -160°F (60°C - 71°C)
and Part B heated to 100°F -110°F (38°C - 43°C). Hose bundle shall be set at 140°F -150°F
(60°C - 65°C). A wet on wet spray technique should be used to achieve a minimum thickness
of 20 mils (508 microns). The coating thickness should be measured using a wet-film thickness
gauge. The equipment settings are only guidelines and may vary based on equipment.
