Ressi EPO Iron Coat

Ressi EPO Iron Coat is a solvent-loaded, low-viscosity, UV-stable metal protective coating specifically designed for application over metal surfaces. It is formulated with diluted Bisphenol A-based resins and polyamide-based hardeners, ensuring durability, abrasion resistance, and protection against mild acid exposure. This pigmented coating is ideal for exposed metal structures requiring enhanced weathering resistance and long-term performance.

ADVANTAGES

• UV Stability – Unlike conventional epoxy coatings, Ressi EPO Iron Coat resists UV degradation, preventing chalking and discoloration over time.
• Abrasion Resistance – Provides excellent resistance to mechanical wear, making it suitable for industrial applications.
• Corrosion Protection – Offers strong protection against oxidation and environmental factors.
• Mild Acid Resistance – Safeguards against acidic environments, ideal for industrial and marine uses.
• Excellent Adhesion – Strong bonding capabilities ensure long-lasting performance.
• Low Viscosity – Enables easy application and effective penetration on metal surfaces.
• Pigmented Finish – Enhances appearance and adds an extra layer of protection.
• Weather Resistance – Performs well in indoor and outdoor conditions.
• Solvent-Loaded System – Provides smoother flow and minimizes surface defects.
• Quick Drying – Reduces downtime in industrial applications.

AREAS OF APPLICATION

• Industrial Metal Structures: Frameworks, towers, and storage tanks.
• Marine & Coastal Protection: Ships, docks, piers, and offshore platforms.
• Oil & Gas Industry: Refineries, pipelines, and drilling rigs.
• Automobile & Transportation: Truck bodies, railways, and other components.
• Bridges & Infrastructure: Steel bridges, overpasses, and walkways.
• Power Plants & Energy Sector: Transformers, metal enclosures, and supports.
• Agricultural & Industrial Equipment: Farm machinery and conveyors.
• Metal Roofing & Structural Fabrication: Exposed roofs and metal-clad buildings.

SURFACE PREPARATION

Ensure the metal surface is clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, rust, or old coatings. Use abrasive blasting or mechanical cleaning to create a suitable surface profile. Wipe down with a solvent cleaner to remove dust and residues. Before full application, perform a small test patch with Ressi EPO Iron Primer to confirm adhesion compatibility.

MIXING

Stir Part A (Resin) thoroughly before adding Part B (Hardener) in the correct ratio (as per packaging or technical table). Mix mechanically at low speed (300–500 RPM) for 3–5 minutes until uniform. Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes to release air bubbles before applying.

APPLICATION

Apply with a brush, roller, compressed air, or airless spray. Airless spray is ideal for achieving thicker, uniform coats. For smaller areas or touch-ups, use brushes or rollers. Avoid over-brushing and use short nap rollers for best results. Maintain moderate spray pressure for smooth atomization.

LIMITATIONS

At higher temperatures, pot life will be reduced. In cold climates (<5°C), Ressi EPO Iron Coat containers should be placed in a hot water bath before mixing.

COVERAGE

Approx. 80 SFT per coat at 100 micron thickness. Coverage may vary depending on substrate texture, porosity, and site conditions. Test a small area before full application.

SHELF LIFE

12 months from the date of manufacture when stored in a dry, sheltered environment in unopened containers. Extreme temperature or humidity may reduce shelf life.

HEALTH & SAFETY

Wear gloves, goggles, and protective masks. Dispose of containers as per local regulations. Avoid open flames when using solvent-based materials. Refer to the product MSDS for detailed safety guidelines.
