Ressi EPO Shield – Protected
High-Performance Epoxy Topcoat for C2 Low Corrosivity Environments
Ressi EPO Shield – Protected is a high-performance, two-component epoxy-based coating system
designed for C2 low corrosivity environments in accordance with ISO 12944.
It provides excellent durability, gloss, and chemical resistance for both indoor and sheltered outdoor
applications where limited moisture or pollution exposure occurs.
The coating forms a tough, glossy, and easy-to-clean film that resists abrasion, mild chemicals,
and atmospheric conditions typical of C2 environments, ensuring long-lasting protection and appearance.
TYPICAL APPLICATION
Indoor industrial and commercial facilities
Warehouses and workshops
Agricultural buildings and food processing areas
Structural steel and metal frameworks in sheltered outdoor areas
Light manufacturing plants and mechanical rooms
Maintenance and repair coating systems
Equipment and machinery exposed to occasional humidity
ADVANTAGES
Designed for C2 low corrosivity environments (ISO 12944 compliant)
Provides a durable, glossy, and decorative finish
Excellent resistance to humidity, mild chemicals, and cleaning agents
High adhesion and film toughness for indoor or semi-exposed use
Long-term color and gloss retention
Easy to apply by brush, roller, or spray
Suitable for use over compatible epoxy primers or directly on prepared steel
SURFACE PREPARATION
All surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from oil, grease, dust, rust, and other contaminants.
For optimal performance, abrasive blast cleaning to a minimum of Sa 2 (ISO 8501-1) is recommended.
Where blasting is not practical, mechanical or power tool cleaning to St 2–St 3 may be acceptable.
Ensure the surface is completely dry and dust-free before application.
For best results, apply over a compatible Epoxy Primer.
MIXING
Ressi EPO Shield – Protected is supplied in pre-measured two-component kits (Base and Hardener).
Add the entire contents of Hardener (Part B) into the Base (Part A) container.
Mix thoroughly using a low-speed mechanical mixer (300–400 rpm) until a uniform mixture is achieved.
Avoid air entrapment during mixing.
APPLICATION
Apply the mixed material by airless spray, conventional spray, brush, or roller, ensuring 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 and within the recommended overcoating interval.
Ensure proper ventilation during application and curing.
COVERAGE
Approximately 90–100 sq. ft. per kg per coat @ 80–100 microns.
Theoretical coverage values are provided for reference only; actual material consumption may vary depending on
surface profile, porosity, and application conditions.
LIMITATIONS
When temperatures exceed 35°C, working times will be reduced significantly.
During application in cold weather, correct conditioning is essential.
Application should be halted if the ambient or substrate temperature is likely to fall below 10°C.
