EPIMAL 200 water-based epoxy paint

Epimal 200 is a two-component, water-based epoxy paint designed for painting surfaces particularly exposed to damage and dirt (often requiring washing) in public buildings (schools, offices, railway stations), health care facilities, catering facilities, hotel halls, garages, car washes, corridors and stairwells, and exposed to frequent contact with aggressive chemicals, e.g. floors of production and warehouse halls, wholesalers, including the food industry (breweries, distilleries, bakeries, dairies, butcher shops, slaughterhouses, processing plants, bottling plants), swimming pools and other similar tanks.

Epimal 200 certified paint - priming the substrate

• For painting walls and concrete surfaces, the recommended primer is Epimal G20 . Epimal 200 is an epoxy (hard) paint, and therefore requires an epoxy primer. Applying a soft, acrylic primer will cause the coating to peel and flake.
• When painting tiles: it is necessary to use Super Spoiwo 3333 .
• Prime steel surfaces with Epimal Stal .

Epimal 200 - properties

• It has a PZH certificate - a product intended for painting building surfaces inside residential premises, public utility premises, healthcare premises, storage and production facilities, including the food industry, with direct contact with water intended for human consumption (tanks can be filled with water 14 days after applying the last layer of paint).
• It provides a durable, waterproof coating that is also largely resistant to chemical agents (diluted acids, alkalis, salts, oils, greases, fuels, solvents, detergents, etc.).
• The dirty paint surface can be washed under pressure using detergents and disinfectants.
• It contains an aqueous dispersion of epoxy resin, durable pigments, specially selected, chemically resistant mineral and synthetic fillers, and modifying agents. An aqueous solution of an epoxy-polyamine adduct is used as a hardener.
• Temperature resistance: permanent contact - dry environment 100°C, moist environment or immersion 40°C; temporary contact - dry environment 150°C, moist environment or immersion 80°C.

Epimal 200 - substrate preparation

• The substrate should be frost-free, load-bearing, clean, free of cement laitance, greasy stains and dust.
• The surface to be renovated should be thoroughly dusted and degreased (especially traces of oil and grease), and cleaned of moss and lichen.
