Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Hydrodynamic Hatch Viewport Arrangement

["Jim Kocourek" <kocpnt@tds.net>]

Hi Carsten,

 

I concur with the zinc-rich epoxy primer as the best choice for the first coat.

 

A couple of things to keep in mind however.

 

Be sure of the recoat window before applying. Usually Zinc has a long recoat period, but if this period is exceeded you may have to resandblast.

 

Any zinc coatings MUST be applied over a SSPC6 Commercial blast finish or better usually with a 1.5 to 2.0 mil profile.

 

I will be using a zinc rich epoxy primer base coat, followed by a high solids epoxy intermediate coat. I have not decided what I will be using for a topcoat yet.

 

Best Regards,

 

Jim Kocourek
