Ressi EPO Shield – Interior

Ressi EPO Shield – Interior

High-Performance Epoxy Topcoat for C1 Very Low Corrosivity Environments

Ressi EPO Shield – Interior is a high-quality, two-component epoxy-based coating system designed for C1 very low corrosivity environments in accordance with ISO 12944. It provides a smooth, durable, and decorative finish with excellent resistance to abrasion, mild chemicals, and cleaning agents.

The coating forms a hard, glossy, and easy-to-clean film that maintains its appearance over time. It ensures long-lasting protection and aesthetic appeal for indoor applications with minimal exposure to moisture or contaminants.

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).

1. Add the entire contents of Hardener (Part B) into the Base (Part A).
2. Mix thoroughly using a low-speed mechanical mixer (300–400 rpm) until uniform.
3. 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.
