 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.
| Protects Steel from: |
|
|
|
- Solvents and chemical spillage
|
- Moisture (fresh and salt)
|
|
| 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 production
and hardness) allow 6-7 days.
|
| Coverage: |
- Theoretical coverage, Epoxy Primer #4210: 250-275 sq. ft.
pe 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 25% by loss
factors.
|
| Thinning and Clean Up: |
- Thin only if necessary, 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.
