    EPILUX 8
    High Build Coal Tar Epoxy
    SURFACE STEEL .
    PREPARATION This product should be applied to a surface has been blast cleaned. It can be applied either directly to
    steel or to a suitably primed surface (e.g. EPILUX or ZINCANODE Primers).
    • Remove all wax, oil and grease by solvent cleaning in accordance with the guidelines given by
    SSPC-SPI.
    • Where necessary remove weld spatter and round off all rough weld seams and sharp edges to a
    smooth surface.
    • Abrasive blast clean to a minimum standard of Sa 2½ Swedish Standard SIS 05 59 00 or
    ISO 8501-1 : 1988
    • Any surface defects revealed by blast cleaning should be ground, filled or treated in a suitable
    manner.
    • An average surface profile of 50 microns is acceptable, but this average should not exceed 75
    microns.
    • After blasting, remove dust from the surface.
    • The surface to be coated must also be clean and dry.
    GALVANISING .
    • Degrease with Solvalux 7-45 if practical, abrade lightly. Ensure that the surface is clean. Treat either
    with LUXAPRIME 1500or followed by one coat of suitable EPILUX primers.
    ALUMINIUM .
    • Degrease and abrade with Solvalux 7-45 and wet-or-dry paper. Apply LUXAPRIME 1500.
    CONCRETE .
    • Ensure that the surface is sound. Remove laitance by thorough wire-brushing, acid etching or
    sweep blasting. Blowholes and other defects should be filled with EPILUX 829. EPILUX 8 may be
    applied direct to the clean sound concrete provided the first coat is thinned.
