    Description

    PPG SigmaWeld 120 is a two-component, polyamide-cured epoxy prefabrication primer that is suitable for automatic application on shot blasted steel plates.



    Top Features & Benefits


    • Good cutting and welding properties, including MMA and gravity welding
    • Provides corrosion protection up to 6 months, when applied at a DFT of 22 µm (0.9 mils) (depending on exposure conditions and blasting profile)
    • Fast-drying properties
    • Can be used as a first coat in various paint systems for atmospheric exposure conditions only
    • Flat finish



    Preparation & Application


    Recommended Substrate Conditions and Temperatures

    Substrate Conditions

    • Steel; blast cleaned to ISO-Sa2½, blasting profile 40 – 70 µm (1.6 – 2.8 mils)

     

    Substrate Temperature

    • Substrate temperature during application and curing should be at least 3°C (5°F) above dew point
    • Substrate temperature during automatic application should be between 35°C (95°F) and 40°C (104°F)

     

    Secondary Surface Preparation

    During storage and construction, contamination of the prefabrication primer should be limited. After fabrication, surface defects should be treated according to the scheme hereafter.

     

    Instructions for Use

    Mixing ratio by volume: base to hardener 75:25 (3:1). The temperature of the mixed base and hardener should preferably be above 15°C (59°F). Strain mixture through a 30 – 60 mesh screen. Mixed paint is ready for use.

     

    Some addition of thinner (THINNER 90-53) might be necessary depending on routing, line speed and steel temperature. Agitate continuously during application.

     

    Pot Life

    24 hours at 20°C (68°F)

     

    Air Spray

    Recommended thinner: PPG Thinner 90-53

    Volume of thinner: 0 - 5%, depending on required thickness and application conditions

    Nozzle orifice: 1.0 - 1.5 mm (approx. 0.040 - 0.060 in)

    Nozzle pressure: 0.15 - 0.20 MPa (approx. 2 - 2 bar; 22 - 29 p.s.i.)

     

    Airless Spray

    Recommended thinner: PPG Thinner 90-53

    Volume of thinner: 0 - 5%, depending on required thickness and application conditions

    Nozzle orifice: Approx. 0.43 - 0.58 mm (0.017 - 0.023 in)

    Nozzle pressure: 12.0 - 15.0 MPa (approx. 120 - 150 bar; 1741 - 2176 p.s.i.)

     

    Cleaning Solvent

    PPG Thinner 90-53

     

    Safety Precautions

    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. For paint and recommended thinners see INFORMATION SHEETS 1430, 1431 and relevant Material Safety Data Sheets.
