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

Coverage

0.25-0.30kg/m²/coat
A 5kg pack is sufficient to treat 8.3m² of surface with the recommended two coat treatment, providing an overall d.f.t. of 500 microns

Surface Preparation

Concrete:

Concrete shall be a minimum of 21 days old and/or the residual moisture content shall be below 6%
Ensure that the concrete is clean and free from dust, laitance, grease, oil, curing compound and existing paint finishes etc

Steel:

Steel surfaces shall be shot blasted or grit blasted to a nominal Sa 2.5 Swedish standard
All dust and grease shall be removed prior to coating application

Priming:

A coat of 401 Epoxy Floor Primer is recommended on absorbent concrete surfaces
Apply in accordance with 401 Epoxy Floor Primer data sheet
For steel substrates 310 Chemical Resistant Coating may be applied directly, or if a delay is likely to occur between blasting and application then it is recommended that a coat of 404 Epoxy Metal Primer is applied as a holding primer to obviate flash rusting

Mixing:

Pour the contents of the curing agent container into the base container and thoroughly mix, preferably by mechanical means, until a uniform colour is achieved

Mixing Ratio:

By Volume = 2.46 Base : 1 Curing Agent
By Weight = 100 Base : 35.1 Curing Agent

Application

Apply by brush or roller at a nominal rate of 0.3kg/m² per coat, with a minimum of 12 hours between coats
After a minimum of 6 hours @ 20°C but within a maximum of 24 hours, apply a second coat at the same nominal rate
If the maximum overcoating limit is exceeded, the first coat must be abraded and solvent wiped prior to application of the second coat
Should a non-slip finish be required, then a broadcast of 504 Standard Anti-Slip Aggregate shall be made immediately after the first coat
Brush off excess aggregate prior to application of the second coat

Cleaning

Clean equipment with 109 Tool Cleaner prior to curing of the coating

Curing

Allow to cure for a minimum of 6 hours @ 20°C prior to light foot traffic access and 24 hours @ 20° prior to vehicular trafficking
Allow a minimum of 5 days cure @ 20°C for optimum chemical resistance

Limitations

Do not apply to wet or uncured concrete surfaces
Do not apply at temperatures of 2°C or less
Discoloration/bleaching of the coating can occur on contact with certain aggressive chemicals, thus leading to contamination/discolouration of the chemical itself
Discoloration is purely a surface effect that does not detract from the efficacy of the coating in service

Storage & Shelf Life

Store in dry conditions, out of direct sunlight, at temperatures between 10°C and 25°C
Do not expose to freezing conditions
310 Chemical Resistant Coating has a minimum shelf life of 12 months when stored in original, unopened containers in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions

Health & Safety

Avoid contact of the material with skin and eyes
Wear gloves and goggles
Wash off splashes immediately with soap and water

Send us your question

Brian Harding on 2023-06-01 12:43:33	Question: Would this product be suitable for waterproofing the internal walls of a concrete tank containing brominated water
	Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: Unfortunately no this would not be suitable. There is not any direct data for this products use with bromine water. If it is not overly aggressive this product would probably have good resistance, but it’s likely that pigment would leach out into the water, so we would not recommend this for the application to a tank.

Kevin Quinn on 2019-12-27 12:39:15	Question: Would this be the best product to paint the internal structure of our canning filler? Would we need to strip existing paint or could we paint over it. Also is it resistant to caustic soda 3% solution & 70oC
	Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: 310 Chemical Resistant Coating wouldn't be suitable for this application due to the raised temperatures and we wouldn't have anything else we could recommend at this time I'm afraid.

Steve Szaflicki on 2019-06-20 10:05:07	Question: we have steel powered coated roof sheets that are being exposed to hydrogen peroxide, via a roof vent. the gas has stripped the powder coating and the sheets are rusting. i was looking at the 310 chemical resistant coating to offer protection of the roof but reading some of your comments this product may be too rigid? would you have a recommendation? thanks Steve.
	Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: Given the set of circumstances described, we would suggest trialling Rust-Oleum 9169 Epoxy Rust Primer followed by 2 coats of Rust-Oleum 5500 Solvent Free Epoxy. But if the current atmosphere is so aggressively attacking a powder coating, then early attack of a wet applied system should be expected also.

Gareth Higgs on 2019-06-17 09:53:50	Question: Hi, Is this paint Skydrol resistant? Cheers
	Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: Yes, it is rated as having 'EXCELLENT' chemical resistance on long term immersion basis to Skydrol (typically 5-10 years).

Joe Dattilo on 2018-12-03 22:04:13	Question: Looking for coating that resists exposure to 99% sulfuric acid. Product 310 states 96-99% sulfuric acid resistance. Can you confirm 99% please. Most Novalac Epoxies only resist to 98%. This will be used as concrete coating with 99% sulfuric acid exposure.
	Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: We quote 96 – 99%, which is the range that commercial grade Sulphuric Acid is available in. We confirm that the 310 Chemical Resistant Coating will provide resistance against 99% Sulphuric Acid, although some discoloration of the coating is possible on exposure (purely an aesthetic defect). We would not recommend the coating for primary containment (i.e. lining tanks) in this environment, however concrete floors or bund lining applications with spillage is fine.

Mazen Seifo on 2018-11-16 08:01:48	Question: Hello, Can this be applied to Hot Dipped Galvanised Cable Tray?
	Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: We have no experience of 310 Chemical Resistant Coating being applied to cable trays and there may be a concern regarding how much movement/flex these may have under a rigid coating. 310 Chemical Resistant Coating can however be applied to galvanised steel if you wish to carry out a trial by using 404S Epoxy Metal Primer.

M Sims on 2018-09-03 12:55:23	Question: Hi, is this floor system fully anti slip?
	Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: 310 Chemical Resistant Coating is a smooth coating on its own - should a non-slip finish be required, then a broadcast of 504 Standard Anti-Slip Aggregate shall be made immediately after the first coat. Brush off excess aggregate prior to application of the second coat.

DAVID JONES on 2018-07-19 13:10:36	Question: Hi, how many coats of this paint will new concrete need. Thanks Dave
	Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: Concrete shall be a minimum of 21 days old and/or the residual moisture content shall be below 6%. Ensure that the concrete is clean and free from dust, laitance, grease, oil, curing compound and existing paint finishes etc. Blow holes and defective concrete shall be made good using 201 Epoxy Repair Mortar. Suitable mechanical treatment such as vacuum grit blasting is the preferred treatment prior to application as this ensures a mechanical ‘key’ for the coating. A coat of 401 Epoxy Floor Primer is recommended on absorbent concrete surfaces. Apply in accordance with 401 Epoxy Floor Primer data sheet. Apply 310 Chemical Resistant Coating by brush, short pile roller or airless spray at a nominal rate of 0.3 to 0.5kg/m² per coat, depending on overall dry film thickness required. After a minimum of 6 hours @ 20°C but within a maximum of 24 hours, apply a second coat at the same nominal rate. Should a non-slip finish be required, then a broadcast of 504 Standard Anti-Slip Aggregate shall be made immediately after the first coat. Brush off excess aggregate prior to application of the second coat. Allow to cure for a minimum of 6 hours @ 20°C prior to light foot traffic access and 24 hours @ 20° prior to vehicular trafficking. Allow a minimum of 5 days cure @ 20°C for optimum chemical resistance.

James Walsh on 2018-07-18 00:20:26	Question: Hi Will this be suitable for external use and withstand FAM30 with a contact time of 1 hour, along with pressure washer cleaning? Thanks James
	Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: We come across FAM® 30 quite often, 310 Chemical Resistant Coating is highly resistant to the components of the product. It is suitable for outdoor use but it is not UV stable so the colour may fade (this will not affect the performance of the product however). We would stress the importance of mechanical preparation of the surface (as per the product data sheet) otherwise a pressure washer could remove the coating.

tony winchester on 2018-07-09 13:55:24	Question: 310 Chemical Resistant Coating - are you able to supply this in Green Ral 6037 ?
	Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: Unfortunately not, we can however offer most other RAL and BS colours as long as they are not fluorescent or metallic shades.

Pieter Chalke on 2018-04-18 02:57:07	Question: Could you please advise if the 310 coating system is suitable for application to valves and pipework?
	Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: No, instead we would recommend something like Rust-Oleum 5500 Solvent Free Epoxy or Rust-Oleum 9100 High Performance Epoxy to be better suited to that type of application. A copy of their chemical resistance charts can be provided upon request.

Ian Lynch on 2017-03-06 21:08:45	Question: We have a concrete bund which from time to time requires protection from 6-8% nitric acid. Would you recommend direct application of the product, or use of a primer onto the concrete first?
	Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: In the 310 Chemical Resistant Coating Chemical Resistance Guide available to download from the 'DATASHEETS' tab on the product page it denotes 'GOOD' chemical resistance on a continuous immersion basis (typically 1-2 years) for Nitric Acid at a concentration of 10%. In the Technical Data Sheet also available for download it states that a coat of 401 Epoxy Floor Primer is recommended on absorbent concrete surfaces prior to the application of 310 Chemical Resistant Coating.

dene on 2017-01-09 11:02:07	Question: can 310 Chemical Resistant Coating be applied to a plasterboard surface? We have a 1hr fire resistance (two layers of plasterboard taped and skimmed) on jumbo stud wall. can 310 Chemical Resistant Coating be applied the that?
	Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: Adhesion to plaster with these sorts of industrial products is never great, due to the very smooth nature of the surface. The use of 401 Epoxy Floor Primer will help, but the 310 Chemical Resistant Coating is a very hard and rigid coating, so any movement may cause cracking and loss of adhesion. Therefore, we could not guarantee the system on plaster. However, if you can provide some more information about your project, the chemicals you are trying to protect against, etc. we may have a more suitable alternative.
