Epoxy cloud iron intermediate paint is oneof the commonly chosen coatings for heavy-duty anti-corrosion projects. Itworks in conjunction with primers and topcoats to form a completeanti-corrosion system.

Specific Functions of Epoxy Cloud IronIntermediate Paint in the Anti-Corrosion System:

一、Extending Service Life: Epoxy cloud iron intermediate paint not only provides an excellentadhesion base for the topcoat but also effectively protects the substrate andprimer from corrosion, thereby extending the overall lifespan of the coatingsystem.

二、Enhancing Corrosion Resistance: The paint has strong barrier properties, making it difficult forcorrosive agents to penetrate, thus providing excellent anti-corrosion andanti-rust protection to the substrate.

三、Improving Topcoat Performance: The dense film of the epoxy cloud iron intermediate paint has highcoverage, which prevents the occurrence of pinholes and enhances the smoothnessand flatness of the topcoat.

四、Reducing Coating Costs: For the same film thickness, the costof using a system of primer + intermediate paint + topcoat is much lower thanusing just a primer + topcoat.

Based on the analysis of thecharacteristics and functions of epoxy cloud iron intermediate paint, werecognize its importance and recommend its use in the following twoanti-corrosion schemes:

Scheme A: Epoxy zinc-rich primer + Epoxy cloudiron intermediate paint + Super weather-resistant metallic fluorocarboncoating.

Scheme B: Epoxy zinc-rich primer + Epoxy cloudiron intermediate paint + Two-component acrylic polyurethane topcoat.

一、Composition: This product is made from epoxy resin, micaceous ironoxide red, other anti-rust pigments, fillers, additives, solvents, and aminecuring agents.

二、Uses: It is used as an anti-rust primer for areas above thewaterline on ships, superstructures, and various compartments. It is alsosuitable for offshore facilities, corresponding areas, and onshore steelstructures, equipment, bridges, and vehicles as an anti-rust primer.

三、Characteristics: It offers excellent adhesion, anti-rustperformance, water resistance, salt spray resistance, and good resistance tochemical agents.

四、Instructions for Use:

1. Component Mixing: The A and B componentsmust be mixed strictly according to the specified ratio. Add an appropriateamount of thinner to achieve the desired application viscosity [recommendedviscosity is 20-28 seconds (at 25°C)]. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is uniform, then filterthrough a 60-80 mesh screen. Allow the mixture to sit for 10-15 minutes beforeapplication.

2.Usage Time: After mixing the twocomponents, they should be used within the specified time frame (4 hours at 30°C, 6 hours at 20°C).

3.Application on Special Areas: Forcorners, weld seams, cut edges, and other areas that are difficult to spray ormay not receive adequate coating, apply 1-2 layers of this paint with a brushbefore proceeding with large-area spraying. This ensures the required thicknessof the paint film on all surfaces.

4.Ensuring Anti-Corrosion Film Thickness:Ensure that the paint film thickness meets the anti-corrosion requirements. Ifthe desired thickness is not achieved, apply three or four coats. Sufficientpaint film thickness is essential for rust and corrosion protection of steelstructures.
