EM121 EPOXY RUST PROOFING PAINT – NEW LIGHT GREY

EM121 EPOXY RUST PROOFING PAINT IN NEW LIGHT GREY EM121 is our award-winning Epoxy Mastic paint, suitable for brushing and spraying. It is supplied as a two component pack, complete with thinner. Equal quantities of component A & B are supplied with each available pack size: the mix ratio is simply 1:1 by volume, plus thinner. Starter and chassis packs are each supplied with 250ml of thinner. The 6 litre packs and 5 litre custom-colour packs are each supplied with 1 litre of thinner. Packs are supplied with mixing instructions, including thinner quantities. All colours can be over painted with single or two pack products, but EM121 also works on its own as a primer-finisher with no need to be over-painted. This product is typically very viscous (thick) and requires a correct mixing procedure and thinning with the supplied thinner. Please therefore follow the instructions to ensure best results, and see the links below for more assistance: View Video: How to mix Epoxy Mastic EM121 Rusty’s Tips: A practical guide on how to use this product Painting galvanised steel might take a little more preparation, Read More ClicK Here Product Reviews ” I purchased some EM121 paint a while ago after reading numerous reviews, REALLY impressed with several factors, coverage, lack of mess, no runs, no brush bristles, how long the mixture was useable for and the quality of the results..” Mr A Pearson – May 2019 Product description 2 pack modified high build epoxy rust proofing paint.

Longer interval may be required in colder conditions. Spraying Minimum 1.8mm nozzle or a HB (high build) primer set up. Test atomisation on a test panel first. Viscosity will vary, i.e. thicker in colder temperatures. Data correct at 20c.

Disposal Allow any excess mixed paint to cure in your mixing cup and throw away as dry waste. Cleaning Clean up with standard thinner or gun wash. Do not thin the paint with standard thinner as this will affect the paint cure. Safety Use in a well-ventilated atmosphere. Use a respirator face mask when spraying or brushing in an enclosed space.

Yes, 14 colours available from stock and custom colours available (minimum packsize 5ltr kit). How long beofere I can overcoat? A second coat or topcoat can be applied any time after approx. 5 hours* with no need to abrade between coats. If recoating or topcoating once the first coat has fully cured (after approx. 7 days), lightly abrade first with P320 paper. Can I paint over EM121 with a cellulose topcoat? Yes, EM121 will accept pretty much every type of topcoat, if I doubt we would recommend testing a small area and watching for any reaction before performing an adhesion test if required.
