PRODUCT DATA SHEET SP-2888 R.G.

DESCRIPTION: SP-2888 R.G. is a range of surface coatings based on State of the Art
epoxy / urethane chemistry. The urethane polymer is pre-bonded to the epoxy resin
rendering the coating isocyanate free. The synergistic effect of co-polymerizing
epoxy and urethane produces a coating with the superior adhesion and permeability
of epoxy along with the added toughness and abrasion resistance of urethane.
SP-2888 R.G. is available in Brush Grade and Spray Grade. SP-2888 R.G. is also
available in Cartridges for coating repairs.

ADVANTAGES: 100% Solids No VOCs.

Isocyanate free.
Excellent resistance to high temperature cathodic disbonding up to 80C (176F).
Excellent adhesion to grit blasted steel surfaces, Fusion Bond Epoxy (FBE), and
Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP).
Excellent abrasion and impact resistance.

USES: Internal lining for pipelines.

Exterior coating for pipelines in buried or immersed service.
Coating of pipe, valves and fittings.
Slip bore and directional drilling applications.
Girth weld coatings.

APPLICATION: Spray Grade: Graco Hydra-Cat - Tip Size: .019 - .031

Brush Grade: Brush or Roller
Cartridge: Manual Dispenser

CLEANING MATERIALS: SP-100 Equipment Wash

SP-110 Tool Cleaner
SP-120 Internal Storage Lubricant
