Product catalog summary
Description: SIGMAGUARD 720 is a two-component, high solids polyamine adduct cured epoxy coating designed for tank coating with excellent chemical resistance. It offers short curing periods, good low-temperature curing, and ease of cleaning. Recognized for corrosion control by Lloyd's Register, it is available in light green and grey gloss finishes.
Principal Characteristics: The coating has a mass density of 1.4 g/cm³ and volume solids of 78 ± 2%. It complies with VOC regulations, with a maximum of 233 g/l. Recommended dry film thickness is 125 µm, with a theoretical spreading rate of 6.2 m²/l. Touch dry times vary with temperature, and full cure is achieved after a minimum of 8 hours.
Recommended Substrate Conditions and Temperatures: Suitable for steel substrates cleaned to ISO-Sa2½ standards. The substrate temperature should be above 5°C and at least 3°C above the dew point during application and curing.
Mixing and Application: The mixing ratio is 75:25 by volume (base to hardener). Induction times vary with temperature, and pot life is 1.5 hours at 20°C. Thinner 91-92 is recommended, with specific volumes for airless and air spray applications. Safety precautions include avoiding inhalation and contact with skin or eyes.
Curing and Overcoating: Minimum and maximum overcoating intervals are provided for various temperatures. Curing times before transport of specific cargoes are detailed, with a minimum of 3 months for certain cargoes. Adequate ventilation is necessary during application and curing.
Safety and References: Safety information is available in related sheets, addressing hazards and safe working practices. The document emphasizes the user's responsibility to determine product suitability and notes that the English text prevails over translations.
