Airless spray Spray angle: 40 - 80 degrees.
Volume of thinner: 0 - 5%.
Guiding data Pressure at nozzle: 4 - 6 bar. Nozzle size: 1.5 - 2.0 mm.
Airspray Volume of thinner: 0 - 10%.
Brush Suitable. Multicoats are required to achieve the specified dry film thickness.
Volume of thinner: 0 - 5%.
Roller Suitable. Multicoats are required to achieve the specified dry film thickness.
Volume of thinner: 0 - 5%.
Thinner/Cleaner Transocean Epoxy Thinner 6.03
If thinning is necessary, this should be added after mixing of the two Components.
Avoid excessive thinning as it will result in lower sag resistance and slower cure.

Drying and recoating times (1)

temperature Minimum Max.(2)
10°C 6 Hours 36 Hours 10 Days 24 Hours 7 Days

(1)The given data are for guidance only as actual drying times may be shorter or longer, depending on film thickness, ventilation, humidity,
preceding paint system etc.

(2)The best intercoat adhesion is achieved when the subsequent coat is applied before the preceding coat is fully cured. After prolonged
exposure times it may be necessary to roughen the surface to ensure intercoat adhesion. When in doubt, consult your nearest Transocean
office.

Surface Preparation
Steel - Blast Cleaning
All surfaces should be clean, dry and free from contamination. Surfaces should be treated in
accordance with ISO 8504:2000.
All edges shall be ground to a minimum radius of 2 mm. Remove weld spatter and smooth weld
seams by using disc grinders, chipping hammers or other suitable power tools. Sharp edges, weld
seams, corners and other areas that are likely to receive less dry film thickness than specified,
should be stripe coated.
The surfaces shall be blast-cleaned to min. Sa 2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007). The surface profile and the
anchor pattern shall be between 40 µm and 70 µm.
The abrasives shall be free from oil, grease, moisture, chloride contamination etc.

Steel - Power tool Cleaning


All surfaces should be clean, dry and free from contamination. Surfaces should be treated in
accordance with ISO 8504:2000.
Power-tool cleaning to St 3 (ISO 8501-1:2007). Care shall be taken to ensure that power-tool
cleaning does not polish the steel surface. If the surface being prepared lies adjacent to a coated
surface, the power tool cleaning shall overlap the coated surface by at least 25 mm and the coated
surface shall be feathered.

Water jetting
Surfaces should be treated in accordance with ISO 8504:2000. All surfaces should be clean, dry
and free from contamination.
Water jetting in accordance to ISO 8591-4: 2006 to a cleanliness of Wa 2 or better for atmospheric
exposure and Wa 2,5 for immersion. Acceptable flash rust degree is M (medium) but degree L
(light) is preferred.
A water pressure of at least of 1000 bar (approx. 15.000 psi) is recommended.

Typical paint system


A typical system for this product is shown below and should be taken for guidance only. A full
system specification where all details are taken into consideration can be obtained through your
local Transocean representative.

Application conditions
The temperature of the substrate should be at least 3°C above the dew point of the air.
Temperature and relative humidity should be measured in the vicinity of the substrate.
The maximum recommended surface temperature is approx. 40°C. Higher steel temperatures are
acceptable provided dry-spray is avoided by proper spray application and extra thinning if required.
In extreme cases it may be necessary to reduce film thickness in order to avoid sagging.
When applying the paint in confined spaces, provide adequate ventilation during application and
drying.
The temperature of the mixed paint should be at least 15°C, otherwise extra solvent may be
required to obtain a proper application viscosity.

Storage and shelf life


The product must be stored in accordance with national regulations. The cans are to be kept in a
dry, cool, well ventilated space and away from source of heat and ignition. Cans must be kept
tightly closed.
