ISOLEP®-eps

Description

Quick-drying epoxy  shop-primer with corrosion inhibitors based on zinc phosphate. Direct-to-metal application. Provides anticorrosive protection of structures up to 6 months.

Recommended use 

In-process anticorrosive protection of  cleaned steel sheets and other metal structures during manufacturer painting at automated lines on plant.
Coated pieces  сan be exposed to thermal cutting,  semi-automatic  and  automatic  high-velocity welding without increasing in weld porosity.
The primer is  recommended for application as an independent coating or in complex coating systems with  the  ISOLEP-primer (TU 2312-067-12288779-2008)  and ISOLEP-mastic  (TU 20.30.12-065-12288779-2017)  primer-enamel of the VMP Holding JSC, and other epoxy, polyurethane, vinyl, chlorinated-rubber and acrylic materials.

Certificates, Approvals

Expert statement by the JSC  "Ural Institute of Welding".

Surface preparation

• to degrease metal surface to 1 grade according to GOST 9.402;
• to  do abrasive-blast cleaning  to  2 grade  according to GOST 9.402  or Sa 2 1/2  according to ISO 8501-1, surface roughness of 25-60 µm;
• to remove dust.

Before applying the  next project coating system, the surface shall be free from dust, degreased, if necessary, to  the first degree according to GOST 9.402; local cleaning to P Sa 2  –  Sa 2 ½ degree according to ISO 8501-1, if any corrosion or other defects

Application 

• mix the primer base to a homogeneous condition before application;
• add a hardener to the primer base  in proportion as the label indicates,  with constant stirring, mix thoroughly, dilute to working viscosity, if necessary, with SOLV-ES thinner.

The proportion of the base and hardener by mass 2.9:1, by volume 2:1, respectively.
The pot life of the primer (after mixing the components) at air temperature (20±0.5) °C is  at least 24 hours (periodic stirring is recommended).
The primer is recommended to be applied in plant conditions at temperature from plus 5 to plus 40 °C and relative air humidity not exceeding 85 %.
Temperature of the painting surface shall be above the dew point by at least 3 °C.

Storage and handling

The  primer  is delivered in packages:  the  base and hardener packed in metal buckets and metal cans respectively depending on the package weight.
Storage conditions  –  in accordance with GOST 9980.5 (at air temperature from minus 40 to plus 40 °C).  The material components shall be stored away  from heat sources, the container  shall be protected from atmospheric condensation and direct sunlight.
The shelf life of the base is 24 months, hardener – 12 months starting with the manufacture date.

Precautions

When working, 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), avoid inhalation of thinners and contact of the material or its components with skin, eye mucosa, respiratory channels; use inside the premises is allowed only in case sufficient ventilation is provided.
The material and its components (the base and hardener) are fire-hazardous!

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.
