ColourPicker Explained

In general we sort colours for products into 2 main groups - ‘Ready Mixed’ and ‘Tinted’.
Tinted colours will always be more expensive than Ready Mixed colours as they need to be produced at the time of order using a tinting machine dispensing colourant into a base*.
During busy periods, this means that tinted colours could take longer, for example – a ready mixed colour ordered on a 3-5 day delivery might arrive within 3 days, however a tinted colour might take the full 5 days to arrive.

To find Ready Mixed colours, search "ready mixed" or select the Ready Mixed 'colour chart'. To see Tinted colours select a colour chart such as RAL, BS, NCS, etc. or search for a colour/hue to see available or related options.

To ensure fair pricing, we split colours into ‘Price Bands’ to group together similar priced colours. If you wish to search for the cheapest tinted colours, always select Price Band 1.

We make every effort to list all available colours, however we also offer a colour match service which can be accessed by contacting our Technical Team on 0113 245 5450 (option 2) or emailing [email protected]

*Colours are sold in the nearest tin size but actual paint volume per tin may vary up to 10% depending on colour

Colour reproduction of the Products on the Site is limited by the technology used to deliver web pages and by the colour representation of Customer’s own monitor and computer set-up. We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours of our Products but we cannot guarantee that the colour shown on Customer’s monitor’s display will accurately reflect the colour of the Product on delivery. We recommend that Customer first purchases the smallest Product available or access an industry standard colour chart in person (and not digitally) to ensure that the colour is acceptable for its purposes.

Description

Principal Characteristics

Dry heat resistance up to 600°C (1112°F)
No heat cure necessary between coats
Excellent resistance against weathering
Also suitable on top of zinc silicate primer
A minimum drying time of 3 days at 20°C (68°F) should be allowed before exposure to heat

Product Data

Two-component, high-build, heat-resistant epoxy phenol novolac coating.

Epoxy coatings will chalk and fade upon exposure to sunlight, elevated temperatures, or chemical exposure. Discolouration and normal chalking does not impact performance. Light colours will darken over time. Some batch-to-batch variation in colour is to be expected. Colour matches are approximate.

Surface Preparation

Recommended Substrate Conditions and Temperatures

Steel; blast cleaned to ISO Sa 2½ or SSPC-SP-10, blasting profile 25 – 50 µm (1.0 – 2.0 mils)
Suitable coating (zinc silicate primer) must be dry, free from any contamination and zinc salts
Stainless steel; degreased and sweep blast (SSPC SP-16) cleaned to roughness of 40 – 70 µm (1.5 – 2.8 mils) with nonferrous abrasive

Note:

The maximum continuous dry heat temperature when power tool treated surface (ISO-St3) is 400°C

Substrate Temperature & Application Conditions

Substrate temperature during application and curing should be at least 3°C (5°F) above dew point

System Specification

Suitable Primers :

PPG Ethyl Silicate Zinc Primers

Do not use HI-TEMP 1027 or 222G as primer.

Direct to stainless steel with suitable surface treatment.

Application

Instructions for Use

Power agitate to uniform consistency
Application with airless equipment is possible, but be careful not to apply more than specified thickness
When applying more than one coat, it is recommended that the total dry film thickness of SigmaTherm 540 does not exceed 80 µm (3.1 mils)

Air Spray

Recommended thinner

No thinner should be added

Nozzle orifice

1.5 – 2.0 mm (approx. 0.060 – 0.079 in)

Nozzle pressure

0.3 - 0.4 MPa (approx. 3 - 4 bar; 44 - 58 p.s.i.)

Brush/roller

For Roller application the best results will be obtained by using fine foam type rollers

Cleaning Solvent

Thinner 21-06

Notes:

Adequate ventilation must be maintained during application and curing (please refer to information sheets information sheet 1433 and
Directives for Ventilation Practice (information sheet 1434)

Safety Precautions

For paint and recommended thinners, see information sheets information sheet 1430, information sheet 1431 and the relevant Material Safety Data Sheets in the attachments section above
This is a solvent-borne paint and care should be taken to avoid inhalation of spray mist or vapor, as well as contact between the wet paint and exposed skin or eyes
