| | EPX48 is a two-component epoxy coating (A, B) with high solid content. | | |
| A high-performance, ani-corrosive lining for galvanized, mild steel and stainless-steel tanks, vessels and pipes
containing hot water and aqueous solutions up to 120°C.
Used as a protective anti-corrosive coating on surfaces exposed to dry heat up to 150°C. | | |
| • Withstands continuous immersion at temperatures up to 120°C.
• Withstand dry heat at temperatures up to 150°C.
• Provides long term protection of hot water tanks and condensate return tanks.
• Excellent adhesion and corrosion resistance when applied to abrasive blast cleaned steel.
| | |
| | • Mixing : | The individual components of EPX48 should be thoroughly stirred before the two are mixed together. Combine components (A & B) in supplied proportions and mix thoroughly using a slow speed mixer for at least 3 minutes to achieve uniform consistency; “DO NOT USE HIGH SPEED MIXER”. Never mix more material than can be used within potlife. Material that has begun to set must be discarded. | | • Pot life : | At 20°C: 6 hours (higher temperatures significantly reduce pot life). | | • Cleaner : | S405 “known as Epoxsol” |
| | |
| | • Component B : | Cat23 | | • Color : | Off white | | • Gloss : | Semi gloss | | • Volume Solids : | 83.4% | | • Flexibility : | Very good | | • Temperature Resistance : | Dry continuous – 150°C
Immersion continuous – 120°C | | • Recommended film thickness : | 300 micron dry | | • Theoretical spreading rate : | 2.8 m²/ Liter | | • Water resistance : | Excellent | | • Abrasian Resistance : | Excellent | | • Chemical Resistance : | Very good | | • Solvent Resistance : | Good | | • Number of Coats : | 2 | | • Specific Gravity (mixed) : | 1.55 | | • Packaging : | Component A: 3.6 liter in metal can
Component B: 0.7 liter in metal can |

| The performance of this product will depend upon the degree of surface preparation. The surface to be coated must
be clean and free from contamination.
Abrasive Blast Cleaning and Mechanical Preparation –Steel:
All surfaces to be coated must be dry, clean, and free from contamination. This product should be applied to surfaces
prepared by abrasive blast cleaning.
A blast profile of 40 – 70 microns is recommended. | | |
| | • Dry to Touch : | 4 hours (ASTM-D1640). | | • Dry to Handle : | 8 hours “minimum recoat time”, 24 hours “maximum recoat time” (ASTM-D1640). | | • Fully Cured : | 7 days. | | • Note : | Drying times can be affected by many factors such as temperature, ventilation and coat thickness. Higher temperatures will shorten the drying times. |
| | |
| • Shelf Life: 12 months at 25°C from date of manufacture. Subject to inspection thereafter.
• Store in dry conditions out of direct sunlight, away from sources of heat or ignition.
• Store at temperatures between 5°C and 35°C.
