Epo-chem™
RL 500PF

Epo-chem™ RL 500PF is a high solids, wet, rust & oil tolerant primer/finish coating.

It has been specifically designed as a one-coat system or as a high performance coating which can be over-coated with coloured topcoats.

This system has been specified and utilised by almost all major marine, offshore, petrochemical and power generation companies.

RL 500PF is particularly effective as an all-weather coating for large external structures (including steam pipes) where complete encapsulation or weather proofing is not possible. Rain, water and high humidity have no effect on the freshly-painted surface.

• Wet & rust tolerant
• Any surface preparation method can be utilised (abrasive blasting, water jetting or mechanical)
• Can be applied, and operates, in temperatures up to 150°C
• Can be applied in any environmental condition
• No humidity or dew point restrictions
• No recoating limitations
• Good UV resistance and colour stability
• Exceptional adhesion to wet & rusty surfaces
• Significantly reduces downtime for outdoor contracts

RL 500PF exhibits exceptional adhesion on difficult substrates; stainless steel, new or old galvanised steel and exotic metals. The coating is also compatible with many aged paint systems.

The system has been extensively used in the following areas:

• Steam Pipes
• Decks
• Superstructures
• Funnels
• Bridges
• Pylons
• Bulkheads
• Shaft Tunnels
• External Fittings
• All Tank Externals
