    SURFACE The service life span and the service performance of EPILUX 58 is directly related to the degree
    of surface preparation.
    PREPARATION
    STEEL
    • EPILUX 58 should be applied to a surface that has been blast cleaned and suitably primed
    (e.g. with EPILUX 610 or ZINCANODE 668).
    • The underlying system should be intact, sound and undamaged. The primer should be
    either 2 pack epoxies, polyurethane or zinc silicates.
    • Ensure that the surface to be over-coated is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease and oil,
    or any other surface contaminants.
    • A fresh water wash must follow to remove all soluble salts.
    • Always ensure that the maximum over-coating time for the primer / build coat is not been
    exceeded prior to application.
    To avoid condensation of moisture onto substrate prior to coating application, relative humidity
    should not exceed 85% and substrate temperature should be more than 3 °C above Dew Point.

    • Two topcoats may be necessary to cover EPILUX 58 coating surface if a light colour
    topcoat is required.
    • Common to all epoxies this product will experience chalking on prolonged exposure to
    sunlight. . However, this phenomenon is not detrimental to coating performance.
    • Exposure to very low temperatures, high humidity or water ponding during and/or
    immediately after application may result in incomplete cure and/or discolouration that may
    compromise subsequent intercoat adhesion.

    SAFETY Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Wear suitable protective clothing such as overalls, goggles,
    PRECAUTION dust mask and gloves. Use barrier cream.
    Ensure that there is adequate ventilation in the area where the product is being applied. Do not
    breathe in vapour or spray mist.
    This product is flammable. Keep away from sources of ignition. Do not smoke.
    Take precautionary measures against static discharge.
