Tinopoxy Coatings
Curing agent: Hardener 8
Epoxy solvent based chemical and abrasion resistant paints & coatings
CHARACTERISTICS
Epoxy solvent-bearing 2-pack coatings formulated to provide high quality protective coatings with good
mechanical strength and chemical resistance, for exterior & interior applications in aggressive urban, marine
and industrial polluted atmospheres and environments, (corrosivity categories classified by ISO 12944
medium C3-C5) and for surfaces to be immersed or to be buried in soil (corrosivity categories Im1-Im3).
Tinopoxy Coatings are characterized by excellent performance and protection. Long exposure to UV rays
reduces the gloss of paint which tends to chalk, however the protective properties remain unaffected.
Tinopoxy Coating, Series 8000, 19000 & 13400 are all-purpose coatings of high performance in medium
build form.
Tinopoxy High Build Coating, Series 8300 is intended to give higher film thickness per coat and ensure
better protection on peaks, edges and protrusions.
Tinopoxy Tinted Primer, Series 3800 is a colored primer that seals the substrate and renders a colored
base for successive coats of paints.
Tinopoxy Primer Sealer & Lacquer Nr. 15500 impregnates the surface and is intended to serve as a primer
sealer and as a finishing clear lacquer.
TECHNICAL DATA
Tinopoxy Coatings (Epoxy solvent containing type) comply with the technical requirements of ISO 12944-5
“Paint systems for corrosion protection” and British Specifications BS 5493 -”Protective coating of Iron and
steel structures against corrosion - epoxy two-pack chemical resistant finishes”.

RECOMMENDED USES
On exterior and interior metal, concrete, masonry, asbestos cement & wood surfaces in industrial & marine
environments and on surfaces to be immersed in fresh & sea water and to be buried in soil.
Ideal field of application is chemical plants, petroleum refineries, power plants, water purification plants,
storage tanks, structural steel, marine installations, ships & buoys, sewage works, pipe lines, interior &
exterior sides of water and gas pipe lines & reservoirs, cooling basins, flood channels & ducts, fertilizer fac-
tories, oil and grease warehouses, machinery, bridges, pylons, floors & walls of car parks, tunnels, etc…
SURFACE PREPARATION
Surfaces must be solid clean & dry, free from efflorescence, oil, salt, dirt, rust, stains & other contaminants.
PRIMING
Metal surfaces:
In compliance with ISO 12944-5 requirements, prime with TINOPOXY ZINC RICH PRIMER Nr. 15400 at
40µm d.f.t. which provides excellent rust inhibition with galvanic action, with TINOPOXY ANTI-RUST
PRIMER 15420 or 15432 or 15435 at a dry film thickness of not less than 80µm.
TINOPOXY PRIMER-INTERMEDIATE METAL COATING, Series 8200 works as a primer-intermediate or
finishing layer to provide adequate rust protection at 80-100µm d.f.t. in Medium-High corrosivity
environments.
MIXING
Pour contents into a larger container, add its HARDENER 8 (Polyamidoamine) supplied with each pack & stir
well, then leave mixture for about 20 minutes to react before thinning & application.
Mixture with HARDENER 8 remains usable for about 5½ hours at room temperature (abt. 23°C & 65% R.H.).
Higher temperatures reduce the pot life and vice-versa. Polyamide or polyamine hardeners are available to
meet specific requirements.
THINNING
Use TINOSOLVE 1007 to thin as needed. In hot weather, use TINOSOLVE 1014.
Tinopoxy Coatings are usually diluted up to 20%.
Tinopoxy High Build Coating is usually applied without dilution but if necessary do not exceed 5%.
Tinopoxy Tinted Primer is usually diluted by about 50%.
Tinopoxy Primer Sealer & Lacquer is diluted up to 100% depending on absorption of substrate.
Subsequent coats of lacquer need abt. 20% dilution.
APPLICATION
As per Code of Practice.
Brush, roller or spray (preferably airless spray) in thicknesses up to 80µm d.f.t. per coat. Higher film
thicknesses of up to 125µm d.f.t. per coat could be attained by using the High Build Coating type series 8300.
Recoating or top coating should be carried out before the complete curing of the preceding coat, otherwise
the surface should be roughened with sand paper.
As recommended by ISO 12944 & BS5493, for a service life of 5-10 years on steel surfaces, a complete
coating system of 200-240µm d.f.t. gives good results in exterior polluted coastal atmosphere and
environment corrosivity of categories medium C3 & high C4. A coating system of 280 - 320µm d.f.t. is
required for environment corrosivity categories very high marine C5-M and very high industrial C5-I, and for
surfaces to be immersed.
For a service life of about 5 years a coating thickness of 160-180µm d.f.t. is usually adequate in medium to
high corrosivity environments. In neutral atmosphere or usually dry environment of very low C1 to low C2
corrosivity, a total dry paint thickness of 100-120µm is adequate.
When a clear topping is required, apply successive coats of Tinopoxy Primer Sealer & Lacquer to attain the
specified thickness. Immediately after use, clean tools and equipment with solvent.
GLOSS
Tinopoxy Coatings, series 8000 & 8300 & 3800 & Lacquer 15500 give a high gloss finish.
Tinopoxy Coating series 19000 give a semi-gloss finish.
Tinopoxy Coating series 13400 give an eggshell finish.
