PPG SigmaCover 522 is a two-component, micaceous iron oxide-pigmented, polyamide-cured epoxy primer/sealer/coating. It has excellent adhesion to, and sealing of, weathered, cleaned, zinc-rich primers and metal-sprayed steel, with good adhesion to properly pre-treated galvanized steel.
- Can be used in systems for atmospheric or water-immersed exposure conditions, with good resistance to industrial - or chemical-contaminated atmospheric exposure conditions
- Good abrasion and impact resistance - Prevents Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI)
- Pass cryogenic cyclic test from -196°C (-321°F) to 140°C (284°F)
- Resistant to temperatures up to 200°C (390°F) in dry atmospheric exposure conditions
- No induction time - 8 hours pot life - Touch dry in 2 hours - Fully cured after 7 days

Surface Preparation
Recommended Substrate Conditions and Temperatures
Substrate conditions
- Steel;
- Blast cleaned to ISO-Sa2½, blasting profile 40 – 70 µm (1.6 – 2.8 mils)
- Shop primed steel;
- Sweep blasted to SPSS-Ss or power tool cleaned to SPSS-Pt3
- Zinc rich epoxies and zinc silicates must be dry and free from any contamination
- Galvanized steel;
- For atmospheric exposure conditions disc sanding, and for water immersed exposure conditions sweep blasting is required
- Stainless steel, non-ferrous metal should be sufficiently roughened by light sanding
- Compatible previous coat must be dry and free from any contamination
- When used as an adhesion primer or when a long overcoating interval is expected a maximum DFT of 50 µm (2.0 mils) must be specified in order to preserve the rough texture
Substrate Temperature & Application Conditions
- Substrate temperature during application and curing should be above 10°C (50°F)
- Ambient temperature during application at 5°C (41°F) is acceptable; however curing to hardness takes longer and complete cure will be reached when the temperature increases
- Substrate temperature during application and curing should be at least 3°C (5°F) above dew point
Application
Instructions for Use
Mixing ratio by volume: base to hardener 82:18
- The temperature of the mixed base and hardener should preferably be above 15°C (59°F), otherwise extra thinner may be required to obtain application viscosity
- Adding too much thinner results in reduced sag resistance
- Thinner should be added after mixing the components
Induction Time
None.
Pot life
- 8 hours at 20°C (68°F)

Notes:
- Surface should be dry and free from any contamination
- The minimum overcoating time should be multiplied by 5 when SIGMACOVER 522 is to be applied on top of an existing old (alkyd) primer or coating
- Surface should be properly cleaned
- Glossy finishes require a corresponding undercoat
Curing time for DFT up to 100 μm (4.0 mils)
| Substrate temperature | Dry to touch | Dry to Handle | Full Cure |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5°C (41°F) | 8 hours | 18 hours | N/A |

| 15°C (59°F) | 3.5 hours | 6 hours | 10 days |
| 20°C (68°F) | 2 hours | 4 hours | 7 days |
| 25°C (77°F) | 1.5 hours | 4 hours | 5 days |
Notes:
- Adequate ventilation must be maintained during application and curing (please refer to information sheets 1433 and (1434)
- For optimum resistance in tank coating systems a minimum substrate temperature of 10°C (50°F) is essential

Safety Precautions
- For paint and recommended thinners, see information sheets information sheet 1430, information sheet 1431 and the relevant Material Safety Data Sheets in the attachments section above
- This is a solvent-borne paint and care should be taken to avoid inhalation of spray mist or vapor, as well as contact between the wet paint and exposed skin or eyes
