 The STEEL-IT Epoxy Coating System utilizes a unique stainless
steel leafing pigment. This catalyzed system creates a hard, non-toxic,
metallic finish that safeguards a wide variety of materials from the
effects of ultraviolet rays, chemicals, oils, alkalis, food acids, water
immersion, abrasion, and high-pressure washdowns.
Consisting of STEEL-IT Epoxy Coating #4907 applied over lead-free STEEL-IT
Epoxy Primer #4210, the system adheres aggressively to metal surfaces.
Although designed primarily for the protection of ferrous metals, the
coating may be applied directly to non-metallics such as wood, tile,
glass, masonry, porcelain, plaster, fiberglass, masonite, and many other
non-porous surfaces.
USDA-approved for use in food processing and handling industry where
incidental food contact may occur, STEEL-IT Epoxy Coating #4907 is a
two-part polyamide epoxy composition that incorporates a #316L stainless
steel leafing pigment to create a durable, non-toxic metallic finish.
STEEL-IT Epoxy Primer #4210 is also a two-part polyamide epoxy featuring
the stainless steel leafing pigment. The two parts of each coating mix in
ratios of 1:1. Available in quart and gallon kits. May be applied by
brush, roller, or spray gun. Conventional or airless spraying is the
preferred method.

| System Recommendations: |
- 1 coat - STEEL-IT Lead Free Epoxy Primer #4210
2 coats -
STEEL-IT Epoxy Coating #4907 |
| Surface Preparation: |
- General use - Sandblast to an SSPC-SP-6 (commercial) or an
SSPC-SP-10 (near white) blast quality.
- Immersion or Chemical Exposure - Sandblast to an SSPC-SP-5
(white) blast quality.
- Anchor Pattern - cut and angular 1.5 - 2.5 mils deep.
|
| Film Thickness: |
- Atmospheric Service and Light Chemical Exposure - 3 dry mils
primer and 3 dry mils of finish.
- Immersion and heavy-duty chemical exposure - 3 dry mils of
primer and 2 coats of finish (3 dry mils each).
|
| Mixing: |
- Thoroughly agitate each part separately, then
blend one to one by volume (Part A and Part B). Allow 30 - 45
minutes induction time. Re-agitate and strain through filter
before use.
|
| Pot Life: |
- 6 - 8 hours
|
| Application: |
- For spray application use a DeVilbiss JGA and MBC gun with a
705FF Air-cap/Fluid Tip Combination.
- For airless application use a 28:1 pump (minimum) with a
DeVilbiss JGB-501 Gun. Fluid Tip Orifice of .015 - .021 is
recommended. May also be applied by brush or roller.
|
| Dry Time: |
- Dry to touch in 2 hours. Allow 12 hours between coats.
Subsequent coats will be tack free to handle in 24 hours. Light
service in 36 hours. For complete cure (full protection and
hardness) allow 6-7 days. Lower temperatures delay curing time
|
| Coverage: |
- Theoretical coverage, Epoxy Primer #4210: 250-275 sq. ft. per
gallon at 3 mils DFT (dry film thickness).
- Theoretical coverage, Epoxy Finish #4907: 200 sq. ft. per
gallon at 3 mils DFT (dry film thickness).
In practice,
these values can be reduced by at least 25% by loss factors. |
| Thinning and Clean
up: |
- Thinning is not recommended- thin only when required, using STEEL-IT #6811 Epoxy Reducer or
small amounts of aromatic, glycol ether based solvents.
- Clean-Up with aromatic, glycol ether, ketones or mixtures of
the same.
|
| Limitations: |
- Apply only when surface and ambient temperatures are above 50°
F.
- Relative humidity must be less than 86%.
- Surface temperature must be at least 5° F above the dew point.
- Recommended for surfaces where the operating temperatures will
not exceed 200° F.
