2K epoxy MIO primer and intermediate coat with lamellar barrier structure for aggressive environments. Engineered for shipbuilding, bridges & port machinery. Single airless spray pass achieves 60–80µm DFT.
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.

| 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) |
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.
