310 Chemical Resistant Coating wouldn't be suitable for this application due to the raised temperatures and we wouldn't have anything else we could recommend at this time I'm afraid.

Given the set of circumstances described, we would suggest trialling Rust-Oleum 9169 Epoxy Rust Primer followed by 2 coats of Rust-Oleum 5500 Solvent Free Epoxy. 

But if the current atmosphere is so aggressively attacking a powder coating, then early attack of a wet applied system should be expected also.

Yes, it is rated as having 'EXCELLENT' chemical resistance on long term immersion basis to Skydrol (typically 5-10 years).

We quote 96 – 99%, which is the range that commercial grade Sulphuric Acid is available in. We confirm that the 310 Chemical Resistant Coating will provide resistance against 99% Sulphuric Acid, although some discoloration of the coating is possible on exposure (purely an aesthetic defect). We would not recommend the coating for primary containment (i.e. lining tanks) in this environment, however concrete floors or bund lining applications with spillage is fine.

We have no experience of 310 Chemical Resistant Coating being applied to cable trays and there may be a concern regarding how much movement/flex these may have under a rigid coating. 310 Chemical Resistant Coating can however be applied to galvanised steel if you wish to carry out a trial by using 404S Epoxy Metal Primer.

310 Chemical Resistant Coating is a smooth coating on its own - should a non-slip finish be required, then a broadcast of 504 Standard Anti-Slip Aggregate shall be made immediately after the first coat. Brush off excess aggregate prior to application of the second coat.

Concrete shall be a minimum of 21 days old and/or the residual moisture content shall be below 6%. Ensure that the concrete is clean and free from dust, laitance, grease, oil, curing compound and existing paint finishes etc. Blow holes and defective concrete shall be made good using 201 Epoxy Repair Mortar. Suitable mechanical treatment such as vacuum grit blasting is the preferred treatment prior to application as this ensures a mechanical ‘key’ for the coating.

A coat of 401 Epoxy Floor Primer is recommended on absorbent concrete surfaces. Apply in accordance with 401 Epoxy Floor Primer data sheet.

Apply 310 Chemical Resistant Coating by brush, short pile roller or airless spray at a nominal rate of 0.3 to 0.5kg/m² per coat, depending on overall dry film thickness required. After a minimum of 6 hours @ 20°C but within a maximum of 24 hours, apply a second coat at the same nominal rate.

Should a non-slip finish be required, then a broadcast of 504 Standard Anti-Slip Aggregate shall be made immediately after the first coat. Brush off excess aggregate prior to application of the second coat.

Allow to cure for a minimum of 6 hours @ 20°C prior to light foot traffic access and 24 hours @ 20° prior to vehicular trafficking. Allow a minimum of 5 days cure @ 20°C for optimum chemical resistance.

We come across FAM® 30 quite often, 310 Chemical Resistant Coating is highly resistant to the components of the product. It is suitable for outdoor use but it is not UV stable so the colour may fade (this will not affect the performance of the product however). We would stress the importance of mechanical preparation of the surface (as per the product data sheet) otherwise a pressure washer could remove the coating.

Unfortunately not, we can however offer most other RAL and BS colours as long as they are not fluorescent or metallic shades.

No, instead we would recommend something like Rust-Oleum 5500 Solvent Free Epoxy or Rust-Oleum 9100 High Performance Epoxy to be better suited to that type of application. A copy of their chemical resistance charts can be provided upon request.

In the 310 Chemical Resistant Coating Chemical Resistance Guide available to download from the 'DATASHEETS' tab on the product page it denotes 'GOOD' chemical resistance on a continuous immersion basis (typically 1-2 years) for Nitric Acid at a concentration of 10%.

In the Technical Data Sheet also available for download it states that a coat of 401 Epoxy Floor Primer is recommended on absorbent concrete surfaces prior to the application of 310 Chemical Resistant Coating.

Adhesion to plaster with these sorts of industrial products is never great, due to the very smooth nature of the surface. The use of 401 Epoxy Floor Primer will help, but the 310 Chemical Resistant Coating is a very hard and rigid coating, so any movement may cause cracking and loss of adhesion. Therefore, we could not guarantee the system on plaster.

However, if you can provide some more information about your project, the chemicals you are trying to protect against, etc. we may have a more suitable alternative.
