HI-PON 80-12 VINYL ESTER LINING

TECHNICAL DATA SHEET

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Hi-Pon 80-12 Vinyl Ester Lining is a three-pack, high chemical resistant
vinyl ester coating, with inert fillers and fibreglass reinforcement. Suitable for
properly prepared carbon steel and concrete substrates in atmospheric and
immersed environments.

INTENDED USE It is designed for use in the internal lining of chemical storage tanks and pipes,
and for structural steelwork in environments where superior resistance to
chemical attack is required. Suitable for use in most aggressive environments.
Excellent resistance in both aliphatic and aromatic organic solvents, and
concentrated organic and inorganic acids.

μm wet film)
- Theoretical coverage of 0.30 kg/m2 at 200 μm DFT
Topcoat (Base only)
- One or two layers at 75 - 100 μm dry film each (88 - 117 μm wet film each)
- Theoretical coverage of 0.30 kg/m2 at 200 μm DFT
- Final coat with air dry agent

All surfaces should be clean dry, and free from contamination. The surface
SURFACE PREPARATION
should be assessed and treated in accordance with ISO 8504. Oil or grease
should be removed in accordance with SSPC-SP1 solvent cleaning.

Abrasive Blast Cleaning

Abrasive blast cleaning to Sa 2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP6. For
optimum performance, blast cleaned to SSPC-SP10 with a surface profile of 75

TECHNICAL DATA SHEET

– 100 microns (3 – 4 mils). If oxidation has occurred between the blasting and
application of this product, the surface should be re-blasted to the specified
visual standard. Surface defect revealed by the blast cleaning process should
be ground, filled or treated in the appropriate manner.

Concrete
Abrasive blasting or scarification to remove laitance and surface contaminants
is recommended. Concrete must be thoroughly cured and dry at time of
application. It must be free of oils, curing solutions, dust and mold release
agents. Use ASTM D 4263 (plastic sheet test method) to ensure concrete is
moisture free. If moisture is detected, re-test until dry.

Other Surfaces
The coating may be used on other substrates. Please contact your local
Nippon Paint office for more information.

CONDITION DURING Avoid paint application when the temperature is below 10°C and relative
APPLICATION humidity is above 80%.

The temperature of surface must be minimum 3°C above dew point of

surrounding air. When surface temperatures exceed 35°C, Hi-Pon 80-12
should be overcoated as soon as hard-dry to avoid intercoat adhesion
problems.

APPLICATION GUIDE Mixing Ratio : Base : Accelerator : Hardener = 100 : 0.4 : 1.8
(by weight)
Base and Accelerator should be mixed
thoroughly before adding Hardener.

Pot Life : 25°C 35°C

30 minutes 20 minutes
(Pot life will vary substantially with temperature)

Thinner : Do not thin

Cleaner : Hi-Pon Vinyl Ester Thinner

APPLICATION METHOD Trowel is recommended for application of basecoat. Brush and roller are use
for application of resin saturant and smoothing liquid. Care must be taken to
achieve the specified dry film thickness.

The given data must be considered as guidelines only. The actual drying
time/times before recoating may be shorter or longer, depending on film
thickness, ventilation, humidity, underlying paint system, requirement for early
handling and mechanical strength etc. A complete system can be described on
a system sheet, where all parameters and special conditions could be included.

RECOMMENDED The following paint system is recommended for Hi-Pon 80-12 Vinyl Ester Lining:
PAINTING SYSTEM
Primer:
 Hi-Pon 80-10 Vinyl Ester Steel Primer
 Hi-Pon 80-11 Vinyl Ester Concrete Primer

For the choice of coating system for different application, refer to the product
brochure or contact Nippon Paint for professional recommendation.

Subject to re-inspection thereafter. Higher temperature during storage may

reduce the shelf life and may lead to gelling in the tin. Frequent temperature
cycles may also shorten the shelf life.

Store in tightly closed container in a dry, cool and well ventilated space, keep
away from sources of heat and ignition. Recommended storage temperature
range is 10°C - 15°C to prolong shelf life for Base only. Best practice would be
to store them in separate locations.
