Product Description:
HIPON 20 DECHLO is a high build epoxy coating capable of providing up to 250 microns dry film thickness per
coat. It combines superior barrier properties with excellent wetting and adhesive characteristics. It can be
applied over wire brushed rusty steel where abrasive blasting is not possible.
Recommended Film Thickness Per : 100 ~ 250 microns for dry film
Coat 110 ~ 280 microns for wet film
Theoretical coverage at : 9.0 m 2/litre (for dry film thickness of 100 microns)
Recommended Film Thickness 3.6 m 2/litre (for dry film thickness of 250 microns)
Practical Coverage : 7.2 m 2/litre (for dry film thickness of 100 microns)
(20% Loss Factor) 2.8 m 2/litre (for dry film thickness of 250 microns)
Note: This theoretical coverage rate has been calculated from the volume solids of the material and is related to the amount of coating applied
onto a perfectly smooth surface without wastage. For a practical coverage rate, due allowance should be made for atmospheric conditions,
surface roughness, geometry of the article being coated, the skill of applicator, method of application etc. when estimating quantities required
for a particular job.
Performance Data:
Adhesion to Steel (ASTM D4541) : 950 p.s.i (abrasive blasted steel)
Impact Resistance (ASTM D2794) : Direct, 32 in.lb
Reverse, 10 in.lb
Salt Spray (ASTM B117) : No corrosion after 3000 hours exposure
Abrasion Resistance (ASTM D4060) : 90 mg weight loss per 1000 cycles - 1 kg load - CS17 wheel
Humidity Resistance (ASTM D2247) : No change in coating after 1000 hours
Application Methods : Brush, roller, compressed air spray and airless spray.
Preferably use airless spray if a thicker coat is required in one
application. Brush, roller, compressed air spray generally lead
to lower film thickness, so more applications may be required to
obtain the recommended thickness per coat.
Note: Drying time will become remarkably delayed under low temperature. Overcoating the previous coat of HIPON 20 DECHLO
should be done within 6 ~ 7 days but preferably as soon as possible after it has been allowed 16 hours drying or else, it is desirable to
roughen it by dry sanding with sandpaper before it is overcoated. This is to ensure proper intercoat adhesion. Exposure of the paint film to
water, chemical and abrasion should be avoided as far as possible before full cure of the coating. When chalking occurs, chalks should be
removed by water washing. Allow the surface to dry thoroughly prior to overcoating.
