PRODUCT DATA SHEET AMERCOAT® 242 HB DESCRIPTION Two-component, solvent free glass flake reinforced lining PRINCIPAL CHARACTERISTICS • Reinforced lining for crude oil and refined pretroleum products • Excellent chemical, solvent, and water immersion resistance • Excellent abrasion resistance • Excellent pit filling capabilities COLOR AND GLOSS LEVEL • Gray • Gloss Note: Epoxies will chalk and change color with exterior exposure. Colors are approximately and will tend to change over time. BASIC DATA AT 68°F (20°C) Data for mixed product Number of components Volume solids Recommended dry film thickness 15.0 - 60.0 mils (375 - 1500 µm) depending on system Theoretical spreading rate Shelf life Base: at least 24 months when stored cool and dry Hardener: at least 24 months when stored cool and dry Notes: - See ADDITIONAL DATA – Overcoating intervals - See ADDITIONAL DATA – Curing time RECOMMENDED SUBSTRATE CONDITIONS AND TEMPERATURES Steel • Remove weld spatter, protrusions, and laminations in steel. Grind welds smooth in accordance with NACE RP-0178 • Remove all surface contaminants, oil and grease in accordance with SSPC SP-1 • Abrasive blast with an angular abrasive to an SSPC SP-10 cleanliness or higher. Achieve a surface profile of 2.5 – 5.0 mils (64 – 125 µm) • AMERCOAT 114 A may be used as a pit filler for severely pitted steel and surface discontinuities • Check with PPG technical service for the maximum allowable soluble salt level for water immersion service. This will vary based on the water chemistry and service temperatures

PRODUCT DATA SHEET AMERCOAT® 242 HB ADDITIONAL DATA Overcoating interval for DFT up to 60.0 mils (1524 µm) Overcoating with... Notes: - Dry times are dependent on air and surface temperatures as well as film thickness, ventilation, and relative humidity. Maximum recoating time is highly dependent upon actual surface temperatures – not simply air temperatures. Surface temperatures should be monitored, especially with sun-exposed or otherwise heated surfaces. Higher surface temperatures shorten the maximum recoat window - Surface must be clean and dry. Any contamination must be identified and...

Maximum recoating time is highly dependent upon actual surface temperatures – not simply air temperatures. Surface temperatures should be monitored, especially with sun-exposed or otherwise heated surfaces. Higher surface temperatures shorten the maximum recoat window. - Surface must be clean and dry. Any contamination must be identified and removed. Particular attention must be paid to surfaces exposed to sunlight where chalking may be present....
