ISOLEP®-hydro primer-enamel

Description

Primer-enamel based on modified epoxy resin, with a high dry residue. Double-packed, consists of a base and a polyamine hardener.
When applied to the metal provides excellent anticorrosive protection when operating in river and sea water. The coating is characterized by high abrasion resistance, impact resistance, resistance to salt solutions, oil and oil product spills, acids and alkalis. Can harden at low temperatures. Compatible with cathodic protection system.

It is produced in two types: ISOLEP-hydro and ISOLEP-hydro GF. ISOLEP-hydro GF contains glass flakes and has increased abrasive and corrosion resistance.

Recommended use

Anticorrosive protection of vessels, marine and river hydraulic metal or concrete structures of general and special purpose, including port facilities, underground fire water tanks, water pipelines, as well as structures for pulp and paper plants, chemical plants, in the production process of which water and aqueous solutions of chemical reagents are used.

It is used as a single coat system:

- in the zones of full immersion (underwater zone) and in soil;

- to protect surfaces subject to heavy wear (flight decks, walkways, etc.) when adding an anti-slip additive;

- in atmospheric conditions in the absence of high decorative requirements for coating.

Can be used in complex protection systems with POLYTON-UR (UV) top coatl, epoxy primer and top coat VINICOR-marine, anti-fouling top coat VINICOR-marine AF and similar coatings from other manufacturers (in agreement with VMP).

Can be used on carbon, galvanized and stainless steels, non-ferrous metals and alloys.

Suitable for concrete substrates with ISOLEP-pro penetrating primer.

Application

• mix the primer-enamel base to a homogeneous condition before application;

• add a curing agent to the primer base with constant stirring, mix thoroughly if necessary, dilute to working viscosity. Mixing ratio of base and curing agent: by volume 5:1, by mass 8:1, respectively.

The pot life (after mixing the components) at ambient temperature (20±0.5) °C is not less than 1.5 hour (for the organization of painting work, the decrease of the pot life with increasing temperature should be taken into account). 
It is recommended to apply ISOLEP-hydro at ambient temperature from minus 5 to plus 30 °С (it is allowed to apply from minus 15 to plus 40 °С) and relative air humidity up to 85 %. When painted in low-temperatures, the dry film thickness should not exceed 300 microns. The temperature of the surface to be painted must be at least 3 °C above the dew point.
When painting in low-temperature conditions, the temperature of ISOLEP-hydro itself must be not lower than plus 15 °C, otherwise it may be necessary to add a thinner to achieve a working viscosity. It is also recommended to add the thinner at an air temperature of plus 30 up to plus 40 °C to reduce the likelihood of a “dry flare” effect and increase the pot life of ISOLEP-hydro.

Storage and handling

ISOLEP-hydro is supplied as the base in 20 litre and the curing agent in 5 litre metal containers.
Storage conditions of the base and the curing agent – in accordance with GOST 9980.5 (at ambient air temperature from minus 40 to plus 40 °C). In storage the package shall be protected from lasting direct sunlight and atmospheric condensation. It is allowed to store the package with enamel -primer components under direct sunlight, however not more than 3 hours.

The shelf life of the components is 24 months starting with the date of manufacture.

Precautions

When working with the primer, the existing sectoral standard norms and requirements and safety measures as specified on the package label shall be observed.
Personal protective equipment (goggles, face masks and respirators) shall be used, and inhalation of thinners and contact of the primer with skin, ocular mucosa, respiratory channels shall be avoided; use inside the premises is allowed only in case sufficient ventilation is provided.
The primer is classified as a fire-hazardous material. 

The information is of general character, without consideration to the object specific nature. Use of materials for other purposes not specified here or in case other influencing factors are present shall be approved by the  VMP Holding CJSC  in writing. In case of absence of such approval the manufacturer is not held liable for the improper use of the material and the buyer falls from the right to present claims connected with the coating quality.
