Description

Highly chemical resistant epoxy mastic coating with exceptionally versatile uses in all industrial
markets. Self-priming and suitable for application over most existing coatings, and tightly adherent
rust. Serves as stand-alone system for a variety of chemical environments and is also designed
for various immersion conditions. An optional micaceous iron oxide additive (MIO Filler) can
be purchased separately and may be used per the Product Data Sheet to enhance corrosion
protection and film strength for more aggressive service such as severe marine or heavy industrial
uses.

Dry Film Thickness

4 – 6 mils (102 – 152 microns) per coat
6.0-8.0 mils (150-200 microns) over light rust and for uniform gloss over inorganic zincs. Don’t
exceed 10 mils (250 microns) in a single coat. Excessive film thickness over inorganic zincs may
increase damage during shipping or erection.

Solids Content By Volume 75% +/- 2%
Theoretical Coverage
Rate
1203 ft2/gal at 1.0 mils (29.5 m2/l at 25 microns)
301 ft2/gal at 4.0 mils (7.4 m2/l at 100 microns)
200 ft2/gal at 6.0 mils (4.9 m2/l at 150 microns)
Allow for loss in mixing and application.

VOC Values

As Supplied : 1.81 lbs/gal (217 g/l)
Thinner 2 : 13 oz/gal (106.8 mg/ml) = 2.30 lbs/gal (276 g/l)
Thinner 33 : 16 oz/gal (131.5 mg/ml) = 2.43 lbs/gal (291 g/l)
Thinner 33 : 7 oz/gal (57.5 mg/ml) = 2.08 lbs/gal (250 g/l)
Thinner 2 : 7 oz/gal (57.5 mg/ml) = 2.08 lbs/gal (250 g/l)
Use Thinner 76 up to 8 oz/gal for 890 and 16 oz/gal for 890 LT where non-photochemically reactive
solvents are required.
These are nominal values and may vary with color.

Dry Temp. Resistance

Continuous: 300°F (149°C)
Non-Continuous: 350°F (177°C)
Discoloration and loss of gloss occurs above 200°F (93°C) but does not affect performance.

Under Insulation
Resistance

Continuous: 300°F (149°C)
Discoloration and loss of gloss occurs above 200 F (93 °C) but does not affect performance.

Limitations

Do not apply over latex coatings. For immersion projects use only factory made material in special
colors. Epoxies may lose gloss, discolor, and chalk when exposed to sunlight. The use of a low
temperature additive such as Additive 8505 is not recommended for immersion services and may
cause additional discoloration. Consult Technical Service for specifics.
