What is Epoxy Paint?

Epoxy Structural Steel Paint is a two-component epoxy paint system consisting of epoxy primer, intermediate coat, and epoxy topcoat. Epoxy paint creates a strong protective coating that resists corrosion, oxidation, and other environmental factors. This helps protect steel structures from damage and extends their lifespan.

 

Epoxy Paint Application Process

Applying epoxy paint to steel structures requires precision and technique. Here is the basic epoxy paint application process:

a) Surface preparation

- Clean the surface of the steel structure by removing dust, grease, and other contaminants.

Surface treatment is required before painting

 

- If necessary, perform grinding or polishing to smooth the surface and increase paint adhesion.

b) Apply primer

Apply a primer that provides corrosion resistance and good adhesion for epoxy paint. Choose a primer that is suitable for the specific environmental conditions and type of steel structure.

c) Mixing epoxy paint

Mix epoxy paint according to the manufacturer's ratio and instructions. Ensure uniformity and correct ratio between the curing agent and base material.

d) Apply epoxy paint

Use a roller, brush, or spray gun to apply epoxy paint to the surface of the steel structure. Apply correctly. For spray guns, choose the appropriate nozzle size to avoid paint film defects.

 

Use appropriate construction tools

 

Observe the specific drying time specified by the manufacturer between coats.

Note: Drying time depends on temperature, humidity, and ventilation of the application environment. Higher temperatures and good ventilation promote faster curing, resulting in faster drying of the paint.

 

Which Epoxy Paint to Choose for Steel Structures?

With many years of experience, SBC is currently providing high-quality epoxy paint lines for steel structures with superior quality and characteristics.

With Epoxy Primer: With superior anti-rust properties, epoxy primer SP®DUR- EPN 701, 101 is considered the optimal solution to protect metal, helping the metal surface not to rust, prolonging its lifespan, and improving the aesthetics of materials.

Outstanding features:

- The paint film has high hardness, water resistance, and chemical resistance. Maximum protection for structures and materials in environments with high humidity and chemicals.

- The paint dries quickly, has a low consumption rate, and helps save time and construction costs.

- Thanks to its good adhesion, it is also used as an intermediate coat, helping to create a firm bond for the next color topcoat, contributing to the beauty of the works.

 

With Epoxy Topcoat: Epoxy topcoat SP®DUR- EFN is used for decorative painting, protective priming of equipment, machinery, and steel structures, concrete floors in the chemical, construction, and other industries.
