Description

PPG SigmaTherm 230 is a two-component, high-build, heat-resistant epoxy phenol novolac coating that provides a corrosion resistant barrier on carbon steel and stainless steel under thermal insulation. Suitable as heat resistant system under insulation up to 230°C (450°F) as well as for use in cryogenic conditions.

Features & Benefits


  • Excellent protection and resistance against corrosion and severe chemicals
  • Excellent resistance to thermal shock during rapid wet & dry cycling
  • Meets CS-1, 3 and 4 for carbon steels under thermal insulation according to NACE SP0198-10
  • Meets SS-1, 2 and 3 for stainless steels under thermal insulation according to NACE SP0198-10
  • No post-curing is required to obtain mechanical strength
  • Can be applied on hot substrate up to 150°C (302°F); please contact our technical team for details

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.

Notes:

  • Refer below for more details on spreading rate and film thickness, overcoating intervals and curing times

Surface Preparation


Recommended Substrate Conditions and Temperatures

Substrate conditions

  • Steel - blast cleaned to ISO-Sa2½, blasting profile 40 – 70 µm (1.6 – 2.8 mils)
  • The substrate must be perfectly dry before and during application of SigmaTherm 230
  • Stainless steel; degrease with solvent and sweep blast, SSPC SP-16 with blasting profile 40 – 100 µm (1.5 – 4.0 mils)

 

Substrate Temperature & Application Conditions


  • Substrate temperature during application and curing should be above 5°C (41°F)
  • Substrate temperature during application and curing should be at least 3°C (5°F) above dew point

Application


Instructions for Use

Mixing ratio by volume: base to hardener 87:13

  • The temperature of the mixed base and hardener should preferably be above 15°C (59°F), otherwise extra thinner may be required to obtain application viscosity
  • Adding too much thinner results in reduced sag resistance
  • Thinner should be added after mixing the components
