EPILUX 850 SF
Solvent Free High Build Epoxy Phenolic
SURFACE The service life span and the service performance of EPILUX 850 SF is directly related to the degree of
PREPARATION surface preparation.
STEEL
• EPILUX 850 SF should be applied to a surface that has been blast cleaned. It may be applied directly to
blast cleaned steel or over a suitable primer e.g. EPILUX 610
• Remove all wax, oil and grease by solvent cleaning in accordance with the guidelines given by SSPC-
SP1. Where necessaries remove weld spatter and round off all rough weld seams and sharp edges to a
smooth surface.
• Abrasive blast clean to a minimum standard of Sa 2½ Swedish Standard SIS 05 59 00 or ISO 8501-1 :
1988 or SSPC-SP10. An average surface profile of 75 – 100 microns required.
• Ensure that all surface defects detected after blast cleaning is ground, filled or treated in a suitable
manner.
• After blasting, remove dust from the surface. Ensure that the surface to be coated is clean, dry and free
from any contaminants.
• Apply EPILUX 850 SF immediately after blasting to prevent oxidation and recontamination of the steel
surface. The use of a dehumidification system and/ or the use of a suitable blast/ holding primer such as
EPILUX 610 is recommended to prevent oxidation of the blasted steel surface. In case of oxidation/
recontamination, re-blast to the required standard.
