Final application suitability should be confirmed according to the substrate and service conditions.
Two-Component Epoxy System
ALTIC Epoxy HR with Hardener consists of two components that are combined before application.
Component A – Epoxy Base
The epoxy component provides the primary resin-based coating material.
Component B – Hardener
The hardener reacts with the epoxy component to produce the cured coating film.
The two components must be mixed in the specified ratio provided in the latest product TDS. Incorrect mixing can affect curing, adhesion and final coating performance.
Surface Preparation
Proper substrate preparation is essential for achieving reliable epoxy coating performance.
Recommended Preparation Process
- Remove dirt, dust, grease, oil and other contaminants.
- Remove loose rust, scale and deteriorated coatings.
- Carry out mechanical or abrasive surface preparation as required.
- Ensure the substrate is clean and suitably dry.
- Remove all remaining dust and preparation residues.
- Inspect the surface before coating application.
- Apply the epoxy system according to the specified coating procedure.
For steel surfaces, the required preparation grade should be determined according to the corrosion condition and service environment.
Application Method
Before application, mix the epoxy component and hardener according to the manufacturer’s specified mixing ratio.
Use a clean mixing container and mix thoroughly until the components are uniformly blended. Avoid introducing excessive air during mixing.
Depending on the formulation and project requirements, application may be carried out using:
- Airless spray
- Conventional spray
- Brush
- Roller
Apply uniformly at the specified film thickness and allow the coating to cure according to the product requirements.
Important
Once the epoxy components have been mixed, the material may have a limited working or pot life. Mixed material should therefore be used within the specified application period.
Do not add additional hardener to accelerate curing unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer.
Typical Industrial Coating System
ALTIC Epoxy HR with Hardener can be incorporated into a coating system such as:
Surface Preparation → Compatible Primer → ALTIC Epoxy HR with Hardener → Compatible Topcoat
The actual system should be selected according to:
- Substrate type
- Corrosion exposure
- Chemical environment
- Operating temperature
- Mechanical exposure
- Indoor or outdoor conditions
- Required service life
Industrial Surface Protection
Industrial steel and equipment surfaces can be exposed to moisture, chemicals, humidity, abrasion and other environmental factors. A properly designed epoxy coating system helps provide a protective barrier between the substrate and the surrounding environment.
ALTIC Epoxy HR with Hardener can form part of such a system where a two-component epoxy coating is appropriate.
The final performance depends on correct surface preparation, mixing, application thickness, curing and compatibility of the complete coating system.
Application Considerations
Before application, verify the latest product specifications for:
- Mixing ratio
- Pot life
- Recommended DFT
- Coverage
- Drying time
- Recoat interval
- Curing time
- Thinner requirements
- Application temperature
- Chemical resistance
- Heat/temperature resistance
- Compatible primer and topcoat
For critical industrial projects, conduct a small test application to confirm compatibility and appearance before full-scale application.
Safety & Handling
Use suitable personal protective equipment during mixing and application. Ensure adequate ventilation and avoid unnecessary contact with the components.
Follow the latest Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for specific requirements relating to handling, storage, spill management, fire precautions and disposal.
Keep the epoxy component and hardener in their original, properly closed containers until required for use.
