Description
ISOLEP-thermo is a two-component polyamine cured epoxy phenolic primer (based upon novolac resin).
The base is a suspension of pigments, fillers, aluminum powder in a solution of epoxy novolac resin and organic solvents.
Recommended use
Anticorrosion protection of metal structures operating under the influence of high temperatures up to 205 °C (up to 230 °C for a short time) in atmospheric conditions of all macroclimatic regions, atmosphere types and location categories as per GOST 15150. Сan be used when structures are exposed to cryogenic liquids, under cyclic and sudden temperature changes (up to -196 °C).
Used as a single coat system.
It is recommended for use to protect insulated and uninsulated equipment and pipelines that are subject to cyclic exposure to dry and wet environments. Not intended for interior lining of tanks.
Application
-
Prior to use mix the base until smooth;
-
while mixing constantly add a hardener, then it is ready for use.
Base and hardener mixing ratio is given in the quality certificate and on the container label.
It is recommended to apply ISOLEP-thermo at ambient air temperature from minus 5 to plus 40 °C and relative humidity not more than 80 %. The temperature of the surface to be painted should be at least 3 °C above the dew point.
When painting, the temperature of the material must be not less than plus 15 °C.
At an ambient temperature of 20-25 °C, primer must be used within 2 hours after mixing the base and hardener. As the temperature increases, the specified time decreases.
It is recommended to apply ISOLEP-thermo with a total thickness of 200 μm by airless spraying, conventional (air) spraying and with a brush / roller with. The maximum allowable coating thickness is 300 μm, exceeding this value may lead to cracking of the coating when exposed to high temperatures.
Storage and handling
ISOLEP-thermo is supplied as the base and the hardener in metal containers.
Storage conditions of the base and 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 ISOLEP-thermo 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 ISOLEP-thermo one shall observe the existing sectoral standard norms and requirements and safety measures as specified on the package label.
One shall use personal protective equipment (goggles, face masks and respirators) and avoid inhalation of solvents and contact of the composition substances with skin, eye mucosa, respiratory channels; use inside the premises is allowed only in case sufficient ventilation is provided.
ISOLEP-thermo is classified as 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.
