SP-2888 R.G.
 
  Coating Type
Epoxy / Urethane

 
Description

Used for coating of girth welds, as well as valves, fittings, pipe, ballast tanks, ships and marine structures. Ideally suited for coating of pipe to be used for slip bore/directional drilling due to its superior abrasion, impact and gouge resistance properties. Also for exterior coatings of pipelines in buried or immersed services. Advantage: excellent adhesion to grit blasted steel surfaces, Fusion Bond Epoxy and Fiber Reinforced Plastic.

PRODUCT DATA SHEET SP-2888. R.G.

DESCRIPTION: SP-2888. R.G. is a range of surface coatings based on "State of the Art"
epoxy / urethane chemistry. The urethane polymer is pre-bonded to the epoxy resin
rendering the coating "isocyanate free". The synergistic effect of co-polymerizing
epoxy and urethane produces a coating with the superior adhesion and permeability of
epoxy along with the added toughness and abrasion resistance of urethane.
SP-2888. R.G. is available in Brush Grade and Spray Grade. SP-2888. R.G. is also
available in Cartridges for coating repairs

ADVANTAGES:
  100% Solids - No VOCs
  Isocyanate free.
   Excellent resistance to high temperature cathodic disbonding up to 80°C (176°F).
   Excellent adhesion to grit blasted steel surfaces, Fusion Bond Epoxy, and FRP.
 Excellent abrasion and impact resistance.
 Any bare steel structure in need of protection
USES:
 Exterior coating for pipelines in buried or immersed service.
 Slip bore and directional drilling applications.
APPLICATION: o Spray Grade: Graco Hydra-Cat - Tip Size: .019 - .031

SURFACE PREPARATION
Cleanliness :
Near White
(Steel Substrate) Standards : NACE 2, Sa 2½ (Swedish Scale, ISO 8501-1) : SSPC SP-10 (Steel Structures Painting Council)
Profile : 2.5 mils minimum to 5.0 mils maximum
(62.5 microns to 127 microns)
RE-COAT INTERVAL
: @ 25°C (77°F) - Maximum: 4 Hours
@ 100°C (212°F) - Maximum: 20 Minutes

Sweep blasting of the surface is required if the maximum re-coat interval is exceeded. Small areas = 316 sq. cm. (= 49 sq. in.) may be sanded using a medium grit (80-100) carborundum cloth. All dust from the sanding or blast roughening must be removed from the surface prior to the application of the coating

Substrate Temperature The acceptable substrate (metal surface) temperature range for the application of SP-2888® R.G. is 10°C (50°F) to 100°C (212°F). Preheating of the substrate is required if the surface to be coated is below 10°C (50°F). The substrate temperature must be a minimum of 3°C (5°F) above the dew point temperature before proceeding with the coating operation.
