    BERGER PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
    SURFACE The service life span and the service performance of EPILUX 68 is directly related to the degree
    of surface preparation.
    PREPARATION
    STEEL
    • Remove all wax, oil and grease by solvent cleaning in accordance with the guidelines given
    by SSPC-SP1.
    • Where necessary removes weld spatter and round off all rough weld seams and sharp
    edges to a smooth surface.
    • Abrasive blast clean to a minimum standard of Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:1988) or SSPC-SP10.
    • Any surface defects revealed by blast cleaning should be ground, filled or treated in a
    suitable manner.
    • An average surface profile of 35 - 50 microns is recommended. A rounded surface profile is
    recommended. Angular abrasives may produce excessive peaks in the profile that may
    protrude through the primer and lead to corrosion.
    • After blasting, remove dust from the surface. The surface to be coated must also be clean
    and dry.
    • Apply Epilux 68 immediately after blasting to prevent oxidation and recontamination of the
    steel surface. In case of oxidation or recontamination, re-blast to the required standard.
    To avoid condensation of moisture onto substrate prior to coating application, relative humidity
    should not exceed 85% and substrate temperature should be more than 3°C above Dew Point.
