PLH53-3 Epoxy Micaceous Iron Oxide (MIO) Anti-Rust Intermediate Coating Description

Overview

PLH53-3 Epoxy Micaceous Iron Oxide (MIO) Anti-Rust Intermediate Coating is a two-component epoxy MIO anti-rust coating/intermediate coating providing barrier protection; the anti-rust pigment forms a “fish-scale” overlapping structure after film formation.

The product is formulated with epoxy resin, micaceous iron oxide powder, anti-settling agent, anti-rust agent, fillers, and solvents, and is supplied with a polyamide curing agent as Part A and Part B. It can be used as a long-term anti-corrosion primer and as a reinforcing coat over zinc-rich primers or thermal sprayed zinc layers to improve sealing and corrosion resistance.

Key Benefits

  • Provides barrier protection in anti-corrosion coating systems

  • Can be used as a long-term anti-corrosion primer

  • Can be used as a reinforcing coat over zinc-rich primers

  • Can be used over thermal sprayed zinc layers to improve sealing and corrosion resistance

  • Can be applied by airless spray, brush, or roller

  • Compatible with a range of topcoat systems

This intermediate coating is suitable for a wide range of steel protection projects in industrial and marine environments.

Typical application areas

  • Ships

  • Containers

  • Bridges

  • Steel gates

  • Gas holders

  • Port machinery

  • Various steel structures

Maintenance and repair uses

  • Used with zinc-rich primers to enhance sealing and corrosion resistance

  • Used over thermal sprayed zinc layers to improve sealing and corrosion resistance

Application Guide

Item Details
Mixing Ratio (A:B) 27:3
Induction Time 5 min
Pot Life 4 h
Application Methods Airless spray, brush, roller
Thinner / Cleaner X-7 epoxy thinner
Typical Dilution 2–8% (air spray/roller may require more)
Recoat Interval / Overcoating Interval (25°C) Minimum 12 h; maximum 7 days
Recommended DFT 60–80 µm per coat (brush/roller: 30–50 µm per coat)

Surface Preparation

When applied over a two-component primer, all surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of contaminants; if the maximum recoat interval is exceeded, surface roughening is required. If used directly as the first coat, abrasive blasting to Sa 2.5 or power-tool cleaning to St 3 is required; surface profile 30–75 µm.
