INTRODUCTION
Epo-chem RA 500M is suitable for a wide range of applications, including tanks, vessel linings and
deck coatings.
Epo-chem RA 500M is a solvent-free, wet tolerant and highly chemical resistant epoxy single /
topcoat. The glassflake systems have been utilised over the last 30 years as tank lining in the most
aggressive environments because they offer total barrier against moisture and corrosive ions. These
are typically applied as a one-coat system or as a topcoat on the primers with DFT of 200-300.
Minimum surface preparation standard required: Sa2, WJ-2, St3.
MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS
It has been designed to work in damp, humid and poorly ventilated areas that are typically
found in ballast tanks
Used as a stripe coat to repair and protect high corrosion areas, i.e. welds and sharp edges
Adhesion test results on wet substrates far exceed industry norms attaining over 1300psi
before cohesive failure
Wet tolerant Can be applied on wet and soaking surfaces, no requirement for any
dehumidification equipment
RA 500M is 100% solid solvent-free, no requirement for any ventilation equipment
Reduces the risk of MIC (Microbiological Induced Corrosion) and SRB (Sulphate Reducing
Bacteria) as it does not contain the nutrients contained in solvent-based coatings
Excellent chemical resistance
Coating compatible with virtually all coal tar epoxy or other traditional ballast tank coatings
Compatible with all shop primers
Unlimited over-coating intervals
Fast turn-around, can be put back into service almost immediately (as soon as touch dry,
6-12 hours) the system is capable of continuing to cure underwater
Glassflake technology ensures superb corrosion resistance and a long service life
Ideal for poorly and hand prepared surfaces - reducing the downtime and back-in service time
Apply in any environmental condition, no humidity restrictions
Zero VOC; no fire hazard or odour
Hot-work, e.g. welding, cutting and grinding can be carried out without interruption
No storage hazard
Preparation and application works can be carried out by ships crew, riding crew, alongside
quay-side or in dry-dock
User friendly
