product characteristics sigmatherm 540 Sigma protective and marine coatings
- Dry heat resistance up to 600°C (1112°F)
- No heat cure necessary between coats
- To be used for the internal and external protection of steel surfaces
- Excellent resistance against weathering
- Also suitable on top of zinc silicate primer
- A minimum drying time of 3 days at 20°C (68°F) should be allowed before exposure to heat
- Complies with NACE SP0198 for austenitic stainless steels and carbon steels under thermal insulation
RECOMMENDED SUBSTRATE CONDITIONS AND TEMPERATURES
Substrate conditions
- Steel; blast cleaned to ISO Sa 21⁄2 or SSPC-SP-10, blasting profile 25 – 50 μm (1.0 – 2.0 mils)
- Suitable coating (zinc silicate primer) must be dry, free from any contamination and zinc salts
- Stainless steel; degreased and sweep blast (SSPC SP-16) cleaned to roughness of 40 – 70 μm (1.5 – 2.8 mils) with non-
ferrous abrasive
Note: The maximum continuous dry heat temperature when power tool treated surface (ISO-St3) is 400°C
Substrate temperature and application conditions
• Substrate temperature during application should be at least 3°C (5°F) above dew point
SYSTEM SPECIFICATION
- Suitable Primers : PPG Ethyl Silicate Zinc Primers
- Do not use HI-TEMP 1027 or 222G as primer
- Direct to stainless steel with suitable surface treatment
- INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
- Power agitate to uniform consistency
- Application with airless equipment is possible, but be careful not to apply more than specified thickness
- When applying more than one coat, it is recommended that the total dry film thickness of SIGMATHERM 540 does not
exceed 80 μm (3.1 mils)
