This specification outlines a three-coat epoxy polyamide painting system for the protection of steel surfaces subject to industrial exposure, marine environments, and areas subject to chemical exposure such as acid and alkali.
This system, when properly applied and cured, is capable of giving excellent protection to steel surfaces in Environmental Zones 2A (frequently wet by fresh water), 2B (frequently wet by salt water), 3A (chemical exposure, acidic), 3B (chemical exposure, neutral), and 3C (chemical exposure, alkaline), but not in potable water tanks. Although the coating herein specified has exhibited good chemical protection, its resistance against specific chemicals should, in the absence of applicable case histories, be appropriately tested.
