PRODUCT DATA SHEET September 18, 2015 (Revision of June 28, 2015) AMERCOAT® 242 DESCRIPTION Universal Glass Flake Epoxy Coating PRINCIPAL CHARACTERISTICS • High build glass flake epoxy • Abrasion and impact resistant • Good drying properties even at low temperatures • Outstanding corrosion protection COLOR AND GLOSS LEVEL • Gray • Low sheen Note: Epoxy coatings will characteristically chalk and fade upon exposure to sunlight. Light colors are prone to ambering to some extent BASIC DATA AT 68°F (20°C) Data for mixed product Number of components Volume solids Recommended dry film thickness 8.0 - 20.0 mils (200 - 500 µm) depending on system Theoretical spreading rate Shelf life Base: at least 24 months when stored cool and dry Hardener: at least 36 months when stored cool and dry Notes: - See ADDITIONAL DATA – Overcoating intervals - See ADDITIONAL DATA – Curing time - 3 components when post-add AMERCOAT 880 glass flake is used in AMERCOAT 240 RECOMMENDED SUBSTRATE CONDITIONS AND TEMPERATURES • Coating performance is, in general, proportional to the degree of surface preparation

PRODUCT DATA SHEET September 18, 2015 (Revision of June 28, 2015) AMERCOAT® 242 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 for tank lining service.

PRODUCT DATA SHEET September 18, 2015 (Revision of June 28, 2015) AMERCOAT® 242 ADDITIONAL DATA Overcoating interval for DFT up to 6.0 mils (150 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....
