MASTERSEAL™180

Non-toxic, solvent free, high build epoxy resin, protective coating for concrete and metal

Description

MASTERSEAL 180 is a two-component epoxy resin

system, comprising pigmented base and a hardener,

specifically formulated to protect concrete and steel.

On mixing of the two components, it yields a high

build, chemical resistant protective coating, which

cures to a semi glossy, ultra dense surface that is

easily cleaned, hygienic and safe for contact with

foodstuff and potable water.

Uses

MASTERSEAL 180 is recommended as a protective

coating for the inside surfaces of tanks, sumps and

walls and as a pore free surface sealer resistant to the

growth of bacteria. Applications include:

„ Coating drink water reservoirs

„ Chemicals storage tanks.

„ Dairies & grain silos

„ Pulp and paper plants

„ As a gas and vapour barrier coating to concrete

and metal surfaces.

„ Meat processing, food industries & breweries.

„ Clean rooms in pharmaceutical facilities

„ As protective coating in oil refineries, paper mills,

power stations, garages, hospitals, hangars, etc

Approvals

„ CFTRI approval for use with potable water

Specification Clause:

The non-toxic, high build epoxy coating shall be

MASTERSEAL 180, solvent-less, taint free potable

grade, protective coating. The product shall exhibit

excellent bond strength with the substrate at least

exceeding 1.5 MPa, when tested as per ASTM D4541.

The product shall be formulated to have high build

thickness exceeding 200 microns per coat on average

and shall be applied to achieve overall thickness of

400 microns in two coats. The product must be

approved by reputed institute such as CFTRI for use in

contact with potable water

Chemical resistance

MASTERSEAL 180 is resistant to intermittent spillages

of the following typically encountered chemicals:

„ Formaldehyde, 40% solution

„ Sulphuric Acid, 50% solution

„ Hydrochloric Acid, 50% solution

„ Hydrochloric Acid 5% solution

„ Lactic Acid, 50% solution

„ Nitric Acid, 10% solution

„ Sodium Hydroxide, 50% solution

„ Diesel oil

„ Wine

„ Sea and brackish water

„ Aviation hydraulic fuels (Skydrol)

„ Vegetable oils

Note: Higher concentration of mineral acids may cause

matting of the surface and colour changes.

Directions for use

Surface preparation

It is most important to ensure that thorough surface

preparation is undertaken prior to application of the

MASTERSEAL 180 coating.

Temperature Requirements

„ Substrate temperatures: 15o

C – 35o

C

„ Material temperatures: 15o

C – 30o

C

Very low or very hot temperatures will make

application more difficult and careful consideration

should be given to storage of materials. In the cold

weather conditions, pre-condition materials by

keeping it in a heated room. In hot weather

conditions, some form of air-conditioned storage is

required. Pre-conditioned materials at 20-25o

C will

reduce the possibilities of flash/slow setting and

other defects.
