Epoxy PaintsEpoxy paint is recognized by the EPA as nontoxic (after curing), is extremely durable and has excellent adhesion to a wide variety of materials. Whether coating fiberglass, wood, steel, concrete or even galvanized surfaces, you won't find a better paint for aquaculture.
Simply clean and dry the surface (acid-etch concrete, rinse with nonsudsing ammonia to neutralize any acid residue and use PT20 concrete sealer; prime steel and galvanized surfaces). Then mix epoxy paint parts A and B, wait 30–60 minutes and spray, brush or roll on. Recoat after about four hours, if desired. The curing temperature range is 55–125°F. Before adding live organisms, let cure for seven days.
One kit will cover 260–288 sq.ft. of smooth surface with a thickness of 4 mil (.004 inch). Epoxy is 65 to 72% solids (depending on color) and has a two-year shelf life (after long exposure to UV, it typically develops a chalky surface). Sold in 120-oz kits only (a kit is 4 parts paint and 1 part activator). |
