Under standard conditions, the surface drying time of 2K acrylic coating is 30 minutes to 1 hour, the touch drying time is 2 to 4 hours, and the full curing time is 24 to 48 hours.
For steel structures that are exposed to high temperatures or for a long time outdoors: Choose inorganic zinc rich primer, which provides better weather resistance and high temperature resistance. For locations requiring high adhesion and chemical resistance: Choose organic zinc rich primer.
Generally speaking, 1 gallon of epoxy floor paint can cover about 300 to 400 square feet at a standard thickness (about 8 mils, 1 mil equals 0.001 inches). Therefore, 5 gallons of epoxy floor paint can cover an area of about 1500 to 2000 square feet.
Anticorrosion primer is a coating used on metal surfaces. Its main function is to prevent metal oxidation and corrosion by forming a dense protective film to isolate air, moisture, salt and other corrosive substances from contact.
Before applying anti-rust primer, the metal surface must be thoroughly cleaned. This step includes removing rust, grease, dust and other contaminants on the surface. A clean metal surface can ensure good adhesion between the primer and the metal and enhance the anti-rust effect.
Polyurethane primers can maintain good construction performance at lower temperatures, so they are more convenient for construction in cold climates. Epoxy primers require higher temperatures to fully cure, which may require additional heating equipment in cold climates.
If the coating needs to be exposed to the outdoors or in direct sunlight for a long time, topcoat is essential. Topcoat usually uses a more weather-resistant coating, such as polyurethane paint or fluorocarbon paint, to protect the epoxy anticorrosion primer from UV rays factors.
If the ship is not properly treated for antifouling, biofouling will accumulate rapidly, bringing a series of negative effects. With the increase in fuel consumption, the operating costs of the ship will increase significantly. This is undoubtedly a huge financial burden for shipping companies.
Solvent-based road marking paint has a longer drying time, usually reaching a surface dry state within 10 to 30 minutes. It can reach a solid dry state after 2 to 4 hours, but it takes more than 24 hours to fully cure and achieve the best use effect.
