NEW! We now offer the aesthetics
of color with the corrosion resistance of
hot dip galvanizing.
This duplex system is available as a finish
on any of the steel products displayed
on thumbnail page (on previous page).

It is sometimes desirable to paint galvanized steel
for reasons such as:

color coding, safety markings, aesthetics or for added protection in
particularly aggressive environments. In many instances the resulting
duplex system (zinc coating plus paint) has been found to have
synergistic benefits.
The paint film extends the life of the galvanized coating by providing
additional barrier protection for the zinc layer. As the paint film
begins to break down, galvanizing extends the life of paint because
the zinc corrosion product will not undercut or cause blistering of
the paint coating. In fact, the zinc corrosion product will actually
retard further coating damage by sealing pores and cracks in the
paint film.

Our standard paint process over the hot dipped galvanized underlayer consists of a rapid recoat epoxy
primer with a polyurethane finish coat. See the detail specifications below the color chart. Special colors
are also available upon request.
SPECIFICATIONS - EPOXY PRIMER
PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
A two component, high solids, low VOC epoxy micaceous iron oxide coating formulated on
proprietary polymer technology which provides rapid cure and overcoating even under low
temperature conditions.

INTENDED USES

As a high build intermediate to provide excellent barrier protection as part of a high per-
formance system suitable for use in aggressive environments including offshore, bridges,
chemical and petrochemical plants, power stations, pulp and paper mills and industrial
buildings.

Can be used as a barrier coating applied direct to steel where the environment is non
aggressive.

The incorporation of plate-like micaceous iron oxide pigment, both increases the barrier
effect and improves long term overcoating properties of the system making this material
ideally suitable for application in the fabrication shop, prior to shipping, with final over-
coating at site.

The rapid curing and overcoating properties of Intercure 420 provide production flexibility,
making this product suitable for use both in new construction and on site as a maintenance
coating.

SPECIFICATIONS - POLYURETHANE FINISH COAT
PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
A two component, high build, acrylic polyurethane finish giving excellent durability and long
term recoatability.

INTENDED USES

Suitable for use in both new construction and as an industrial maintenance finish which can be
used in a wide variety of environments including offshore structures, petrochemical facilities,
bridges, pulp and paper mills, and in the power industry.

Particularly designed for use in areas where a high gloss is either not desired or where a semi-
gloss is the preferred option.

Provides a versatile option where overcoating of intermediates in one coat is not possible using
conventional high gloss polyurethane finishes.
