DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Surface Preparation

General
• Surfaces must be dry, clean and free from contaminants
• Ensure removal of dirt, dust, oil and all other contaminants that could interfere with adhesion of the coating.
Oil and grease should be removed as per SSPC-SP1 solvent cleaning
• Surface should be checked and treated in accordance with ISO 8504 prior to priming

For immersion condition


Blast Cleaning
• Steel, abrasive blast clean to min. Sa 2.5 Swedish specification. In case oxidation has occurred between
blasting and application of Apcodur 804, the surface should be re-blasted
• A blasting profile of (Rz) 50-75 µm is recommended

PRODUCT DATA SHEET Page 1/3 Product Data Sheet - PC 7298


For atmospheric exposure condition
• Steel; blast cleaned to Sa 2.5 of Swedish specification
• If blast cleaning is impractical, remove loose rust/ scale using power tools/ hand tools to achieve St3/St2
grade of surface preparation as per Swedish standards
• Suitable zinc primer, epoxy primer or epoxy intermediate coat; dry & free from all surface contamination. In
case of aged epoxy coating, the surface should be sufficiently roughened and cleaned prior to painting

Application Conditions

• Substrate temperature should be at least 3°C above dew point but not above 50°C
• Relative humidity should be below 85%
• Good ventilation is required in confined areas to ensure proper curing

Mixing

• Apcodur 804 is supplied in two packs. Stir the base and hardener separately. If settling is observed in the
base or hardener, loosen the settled material with the help of hand stirrer followed by power driven stirrer
(at lower RPM) for quick homogenous mixing
• Mix hardener gradually into the base under continuous stirring as per the mixing ratio. Once the unit has
been mixed, it should be consumed within the working pot life. In case of part mixing (which should be
avoided), close the lids of containers tightly to avoid contact with atmospheric moisture
• Thinner should be added after mixing the components and post the induction time. Addition of excessive
thinner will lead to reduced sag resistance

Cleaning

• Do not allow the product to remain in hoses, gun or spray equipment. Clean all equipment’s immediately
after use with Thinner T 141. It is recommended to periodically flush out spray equipment during the
course of the working day. The frequency of cleaning will depend on amount sprayed, temperature and
time gap
• All surplus material and empty containers should be disposed off in accordance with appropriate regional
legislation

Product Characteristics

• The maximum performance is achieved after complete curing


• While over coating with other paints, tar bleeding can occur. Consult Asian Paints PPG representative for
suitable topcoats
• As common to all epoxy, Apcodur 804 will chalk and discolour on exterior exposure. However these
phenomena are not detrimental to anti-corrosive performance

SAFETY INFORMATION

• As a general safety measure, inhalation of solvent vapours or paint mist and contact of liquid paint with
skin & eyes, should be avoided. Forced ventilation should be provided when applying paint in confined
spaces or stagnant air. Even when ventilation is provided, respiratory, skin and eye protection are always
recommended when spraying paint
