SIGMACOVER™ 410/SIGMACOVER™ 410 LT
DESCRIPTION Two-component, high solids, high-build, polyamide cured epoxy coating
PRINCIPAL CHARACTERISTICS • General-purpose epoxy buildcoat in protective coating systems, for steel and concrete structures exposed to atmospheric land or marine conditions • Excellent durability • Can be recoated with various two-component and conventional coatings, even after long weathering periods • Easy application by airless spray • Good drying- and curing properties at low substrate temperature (down to –5°C (23°F))
COLOR AND GLOSS LEVEL
• MIO and a selected range of colors • Flat
Notes: - Epoxy coatings will chalk and fade upon exposure to sunlight, elevated temperatures, or chemical exposure. Discoloration and normal chalking do not impact performance. Light colors will darken over time. Some batch-to-batch variation in color is to be expected. Color matches are approximate. - The addition of a UV stable topcoat should be considered when using epoxy coatings in cosmetic areas

RECOMMENDED SUBSTRATE CONDITIONS AND TEMPERATURES
Substrate conditions • Suitable primer must be dry and free from any contamination • Surface of previous coat should be sufficiently roughened if necessary • When applied to zinc silicate, a mist coat and full coat technique is required
Substrate temperature • Substrate temperature during application and curing down to -5°C (23°F) is acceptable; provided the substrate is free from ice and dry • Substrate temperature during application and curing should be at least 3°C (5°F) above dew point
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Mixing ratio by volume: base to hardener 80:20 (4:1) • The temperature of the paint 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 and slower cure • Thinner should be added after mixing the components

SIGMACOVER™ 410/SIGMACOVER™ 410 LT
Brush/roller • Application by brush may show brush marking, due to the thixotropic nature of the paint and is most suitable to small areas, tight angle areas or for stripe coating or touch-up • Application by roller will leave roller marking and is suitable for minimum DFT requirements only • A roller suitable for epoxy application must be used
and polyurethane Maximum Extended Extended Extended Extended Extended coatings
Notes: - Actual maximum overcoating times will be influenced by local conditions - To ensure optimal adhesion of the next coat, the surface must be dry and free from all contaminations (oil, grease, chalking, etc...) which would require cleaning and/or abrading - The LT hardener is not available in all regions, please check this with your PPG representative

Notes: - Ambient temperature during application at -5°C (23°F) is acceptable; however curing to hardness takes longer and complete cure will be reached when the temperature increases - Adequate ventilation must be maintained during application and curing - The LT hardener is not available in all regions, please check this with your PPG representative
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS • See Safety Data Sheet and product label for complete safety and precaution requirements • 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
