Advantages
- Easy to apply.
- Economical.
Application
Protection of steel structures in aggressive coastal and industrial atmospheres. Ship loaders. Hoppers, conveyors, silos, storage tanks, pipelines, and general steel structures in fertilizer plants, refineries, petrochemicals, chemical plants, and engineering industries.
Application Methodology
For new steel surfaces, blast clean to a surface profile not exceeding 65 microns. For old steel surfaces, blast clean or use mechanical tools, manual chipping, and wire brushing to remove loose rust. Avoid excessive burnishing of steel. Thoroughly dust down the surfaces and remove grease, oil, and other contaminants using AC thinner. Apply Coat MIO on a touch-dry cleaned and primed steel surface. Stir Comp A and Comp B separately. If settling is observed in Comp A, loosen the settled material with a hand stirrer followed by a power-driven stirrer for quick homogeneous mixing. Mix the hardener gradually into the base under continuous stirring until a homogeneous mix is achieved. Apply the mixed material by brush or roller.
