Armourcote 510

Product Description

Resene Armourcote 510 is a high performance, self-priming epoxy mastic combining superb adhesion with true barrier properties. Will tolerate compromised surfaces such as handcleaned steel.

Typical uses:
- Bridges
- Chemical plants
- Concrete surfaces
- Food processing
- Plants
- Power plants
- Pulp and paper plants
- Repaints
- Structural steel
- Tank exteriors
- Waste/water treatment plants.

The choice of hardener will affect the colour of cured Resene Armourcote 510 colours, more so for light pastel colours. In addition close matches to Resene architectural colours cannot be achieved in pale pastel colours. Colour: Off-white, selected BS2660, BS5252 and Resene Total Colour System.

Performance:
1. Self-priming finish coat that is tolerant of minimum surface preparation.
2. May be applied over previously painted, or prepared rusty surfaces, or both.
3. Dry film thickness up to 200 microns per coat can be achieved with airless spray application.

Limitations:
1. Will chalk when continuously exposed to sunlight and U.V. light. This chalking in no way impairs the coating’s performance. Chalking can be prevented by overcoating with a pigmented Resene Uracryl Series 400 topcoat.
2. Cure time and pot life are affected by temperature. For application below 10ºC use Resene Armourcote 510 L.T Cure and Resene Thinner No.6; above 35ºC use Resene Alumastic hardener and Resene Thinner No.11.
3. Not recommended for immersion in acids, alkalis or solvents.
4. Do not apply over thermoplastic coatings.
5. Not available in pure white.
6. Extended cure times are required before immersion service.
