TYPICAL APPLICATION
- Interior steel structures and supports
- Factory interiors and production areas
- Machinery and equipment in dry environments
- Storage facilities and warehouses
- Commercial and public buildings
- Workshops and utility rooms
- General maintenance and protective coating systems for indoor service
ADVANTAGES
- Designed for C1 very low corrosivity environments (ISO 12944 compliant)
- Provides a smooth, decorative, and glossy finish
- Excellent adhesion and durability in indoor conditions
- Resistant to mild chemicals, cleaning agents, and abrasion
- Easy to clean and maintain
- Long-lasting color and gloss retention
- Simple to apply by brush, roller, or spray
SURFACE PREPARATION
- All surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from oil, grease, dust, rust, and contaminants.
- For new steel, remove oil and grease using suitable solvents or detergents (ISO 8504-3).
- Light mechanical or power tool cleaning to St 2 (ISO 8501-1) is usually sufficient.
- Ensure the surface is dry and dust-free prior to coating.
- Apply over a compatible epoxy primer or directly onto prepared steel as per system design.
MIXING
Ressi EPO Shield – Interior is supplied in pre-measured two-component kits (Base and Hardener).
- Add the entire contents of Hardener (Part B) into the Base (Part A).
- Mix thoroughly using a low-speed mechanical mixer (300–400 rpm) until uniform.
- Avoid aeration during mixing.
APPLICATION
- Apply by airless spray, conventional spray, brush, or roller.
- Ensure uniform film thickness and complete coverage.
- Recommended Dry Film Thickness (DFT): 90–100 microns per coat
- Apply subsequent coats once the previous coat is dry to touch.
- Ensure adequate ventilation during application and curing.
COVERAGE
Approximately 90–100 sq. ft. per kg per coat @ 80–100 microns.
Theoretical coverage values are for reference only; actual consumption may vary depending on
surface profile and application conditions.
LIMITATIONS
- When temperatures exceed 35°C, working times will be reduced.
- During cold weather, correct material conditioning is essential.
- Application should be halted if ambient or substrate temperature falls below 10°C.
