PRODUCT DATA SHEET February 7, 2024
SIGMACOVER™ 410 MIO 80
DESCRIPTION
Two-component, high-build, micaceous iron oxide-pigmented polyamide-cured epoxy coating
PRINCIPAL CHARACTERISTICS
• General-purpose epoxy buildcoat in protective coating systems, for steel and concrete structures exposed to
atmospheric land or marine conditions
• Easy application by airless spray
COLOR AND GLOSS LEVEL
• Redbrown, greenish gray
• Low metallic sheen
Notes:
- Epoxy coatings will chalk and fade upon exposure to sunlight, elevated temperatures, or chemical exposure. Discoloration and normal
chalking do not impact performance. Light colors will darken over time. Some batch-to-batch variation in color is to be expected. Color
matches are approximate.
- The addition of a UV stable topcoat should be considered when using epoxy coatings in cosmetic areas

RECOMMENDED SUBSTRATE CONDITIONS AND TEMPERATURES
Substrate conditions
• Suitable primer must be dry and free from any contamination
• Surface of previous coat should be sufficiently roughened if necessary
• When applied to zinc silicate, a mist coat and full coat technique is required
Substrate temperature
• Substrate temperature during application and curing down to -5°C (23°F) is acceptable; provided the substrate is free
from ice and dry
• Substrate temperature during application and curing should be at least 3°C (5°F) above dew point
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Mixing ratio by volume: base to hardener 80:20 (4:1)
• The temperature of the paint should preferably be above 15°C (59°F), otherwise extra thinner may be required to obtain
application viscosity
• Adding too much thinner results in reduced sag resistance and slower cure
• Thinner should be added after mixing the components
Induction time
None

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• See Safety Data Sheet and product label for complete safety and precaution requirements
• This is a solvent-borne paint and care should be taken to avoid inhalation of spray mist or vapor, as well as contact
between the wet paint and exposed skin or eyes
WORLDWIDE AVAILABILITY
It is always the aim of PPG Protective and Marine Coatings to supply the same product on a worldwide basis. However, slight
modification of the product is sometimes necessary to comply with local or national rules/circumstances. Under these
circumstances an alternative product data sheet is used.
