2-C-EP-corrosion protection coating

Description: 2-component epoxy coating with SIGAS-bionic technology

VOC < 2 %, free of heavy metals, benzyl alcohol, coal tar, anthracene oil and plasticizers
Characteristics:  approved and listed by the BAW / system 5 and  excellent adhesion strength
8 Im1, Im2 and Im3 – corrosivity category C5-M  high chemical resistance
 approved in acc. with NORSOK M-501, Rev. 6  very high abrasion resistance
 excellent corrosion protection  no shrinkage by migration of plasticizer
 suitable for cathodic protection systems  inert and harmless once cured
 Germanischer Lloyd - Confirmation
Application: SigaCoat 111 is a high abrasion resistant coating which is especially suitable as corrosion protection
of steel constructions for hydraulic engineering, e.g. flood gates, steel sheet piles and weir plants.
SigaCoat 111 can be applied on concrete surfaces as well as on steel surfaces. SigaCoat 111 is
used as highly mechanical and chemical resistant / hard-wearing coating that offers excellent
anticorrosion properties. SigaCoat 111 must be applied by using airless spray equipment (with a flow
heater if required) and is suitable for high-build application in one coat; multiple application is also
possible. Due to the special formulation a primer is not required. In case of need, (tender) it is possible
to apply the zinc primer SigaPox 415.
N/B: The included bionic components form a microfilm on the surface, which can lead to a whitish
bloom in combination with moisture. In case of a higher demand to colour stability we recommend to
use a topcoat.
Layer thickness: approx. 600 - 1200 microns / depending on the object

Consumption: theoretical: approx. 1 kg/m² at 600 microns DFT

practical: approx. 1.3 kg/m² at 600 microns DFT
The information relating to practical consumption / coverage is calculated to include 30 % loss.
The practical consumption / coverage depends on the conditions of the substrate. We recommend
applying a test area.
Resistant to:  industrial and marine conditions  neutral salt solutions
 water, seawater, brackish water  diluted acids
 mineral oil, aliphatic hydrocarbons  oil, fat, lubricants and fuels
 wet heat up to +50°C (please consult us)  dry heat up to +100°C

Packaging: 16.5 kg - pails (15 kg component A + 1.5 kg component B), other pails are available on request
Colour: silk grey, dusty grey (other colours are available on request)
- due to raw material variations and manufacturing techniques, a slight colour / batch difference may occur -
Storage: 12 months, unopened in original drums under dry conditions and a temperature of 15 - 25ºC.
At temperatures < 10°C crystallisation is possible. Please consult us.
