Application
- 1
Surface Preparation — Steel
Remove grease, oil and all contaminants. For carbon steel, abrasive blast to minimum SSPC SP10. The coating can be applied directly on prepared carbon-steel surfaces, cured galvanizing coatings, or any primer paint. Surface must be clean and dry before application.
- 2
Primer Application
Apply primer coat at a coverage rate of 86 ft² per Kg. Allow to cure for minimum 10 minutes at ambient before applying the top coat. Ensure uniform coverage with no missed areas.
- 3
Top Coat Application
Apply top coat at a coverage of 11 ft² per Kg. For Insulation Paint (5 kV), apply to achieve 160–600 micron DFT. For Insulation Coating (15.3 kV), apply multiple coats to achieve 1.5–4.0 mm DFT. Each coat must fully cure before the next.

Inspection & Testing
After full cure, verify dielectric strength using a holiday tester. Check surface resistivity >1×10¹² Ω. Inspect for pinholes or thin areas. Insulation Paint should achieve >5 kV at 160 micron; Insulation Coating should achieve >15.3 kV at 1.6 mm DFT.
