Sherwin-Williams Macropoxy M262 (formerly Epigrip M262) is a 2-pack epoxy high build gloss finish for interior or exterior use in conjunction with appropriate primers and undercoats. It is suitable for application on concrete floors.
Compatible with a wide range of Macropoxy, Dura-plate, Zinc Clad Epoxy Primers and Buildcoats.
Epoxy paints should preferably be applied at temperatures in excess of 10°C. In conditions of high relative humidity, i.e. 80-85% good ventilation conditions are essential. Substrate temperature shall be at least 3°C above the dew point and always above 0°C.
At application temperatures below 10°C, drying and curing times will be significantly extended, and spraying characteristics may be impaired.
Application at ambient air temperatures below 5°C is not recommended.
In order to achieve optimum water and chemical resistance, temperature needs to be maintained above 10°C during curing.
If it is desired to overcoat outside the times stated on the data sheet, please seek advice of Technical Team.
Drying times, curing times and pot life should be considered as a guide only.
The curing reaction of epoxies commences immediately the two components are mixed, and since the reaction is dependent on temperature, the curing time and pot life will be approximately halved by a 10°C increase in temperature and doubled by a 10°C decrease in temperature.
Suitable for application on concrete floors. Ensure that substrate is sound, clean and free from surface contaminants. Moisture content must be less than 7%. The first coat of Macropoxy M262 should be thinned up to 15% with cleanser thinner 5 to assist in sealing the substrate porosity.
Where a non-skid profile is required P515 aggregate should be stirred into the Macropoxy M262 mixed paint, immediately prior to application, at a rate of 1.0kg per 5 ltr unit. Application will then only be possible by brush or roller.
Epoxy Coatings:
Colour Stability: Variable colour stability is a feature of epoxy materials which tend to yellow and darken with age. Therefore any areas touched-up and repaired with the same colour at a later date may be obvious due to this colour change.
When epoxy materials are exposed to ultra-violet light a surface chalking effect will develop. This phenomenon results in loss of gloss and a fine powder coating at the surface which may give rise to colour variation depending on the aspect of the steelwork. This effect in no way detracts from the performance of the system.
Epoxy Coatings - Tropical Use:
Epoxy paints at the time of mixing should not exceed a temperature of 35°C. At this temperature the pot life will be approximately halved. Use of these products outside of the pot life may result in inferior adhesion properties even if the materials appear fit for application. Thinning the mixed product will not alleviate this problem.
The maximum air and substrate temperature for application is 50°C providing conditions allow satisfactory application and film formation. If the air and substrate temperatures exceed 50°C and epoxy
coatings are applied under these conditions, paint film defects such as dry spray, bubbling and pinholing etc. can occur within the coating.
Numerical values quoted for physical data may vary slightly from batch to batch.

• These colour samples are to be used for guidance only.
• Product contained within is generic to provide a close representation to your chosen colour.
• Should not be used to carry out any painting project, this is for colour selection purposes only and does not remove the need for you to ensure the correct product is chosen and tested for your application once a colour has been decided on.
• It is not a sample of the product you intend to purchase/use and cannot be used to test anything other than colour appearance.
• Notwithstanding any other provision of our conditions of sale, you agree and understand that many factors affect the colour of a painted product, including lighting, sheen level, method of application, batches variances number of coats and substrate surface.
• We cannot therefore promise that the colour of the product you ultimately purchase will exactly match the colour of this colour sample.
• Once you have selected a colour, you must purchase the smallest amount of the product you intend to use in your chosen colour and apply to a small, inconspicuous test area to be sure that it meets your expectations.
• Leave the product for 24 hours and then only buy more paint and/or apply more paint if you are completely happy with the results on the test area.
• We cannot be liable to you for any loss or damage if you have not complied with this process.
• Notwithstanding any other provision of our conditions of sale, you agree and understand that many factors affect the colour of a painted product, including lighting, sheen level, method of application and product surface.
• We cannot therefore promise that the colour of the product you paint with the Kolorbond paint will exactly match the colour of the item you send to us.
• You must therefore purchase the smallest Kolorbond paint pot available first and then apply the paint to a small, and where possible hidden, test area of your product to be sure that it meets your expectations.
• Leave the product for 24 hours and then only buy more paint and/or apply more paint to your product if you are completely happy with the results on the test area.
