PRODUCT DATA SHEET April 21, 2022 (Revision of December 16, 2021)

SIGMAFAST™ 205

DESCRIPTION
Two-component, high-build, polyamide-cured zinc phosphate epoxy primer/coating

PRINCIPAL CHARACTERISTICS
• General-purpose epoxy primer/coating for atmospheric conditions
• Fast-curing
• Suitable for the protection of steel and concrete
• Easy application by airless spray
• Recoatable with most two-component epoxy and polyurethane coatings
• Tough, with long-term flexibility

COLOR AND GLOSS LEVEL

• A wide range of colors and MIO light available
• Semi-gloss

Notes:
- Epoxy coatings will chalk and fade upon exposure to sunlight, elevated temperatures, or chemical exposure. Discoloration and normal
chalking do not impact performance. Light colors will darken over time. Some batch-to-batch variation in color is to be expected. Color
matches are approximate.
- The addition of a UV stable topcoat should be considered when using epoxy coatings in cosmetic areas

Data for mixed product

Shelf life Base: at least 24 months when stored cool and dry
Hardener: at least 24 months when stored cool and dry

Notes:

- See ADDITIONAL DATA – Overcoating intervals
- See ADDITIONAL DATA – Curing time

RECOMMENDED SUBSTRATE CONDITIONS AND TEMPERATURES

Substrate conditions
• Steel; blast cleaned to ISO-Sa2½, blasting profile 40 – 70 µm (1.6 – 2.8 mils)

Concrete
• Dried for at least 28 days in good ventilation conditions
• Moisture content should not exceed 4.5%
• Concrete must be free from laitance and any contamination
• Rough surface; eventually abraded by power tool or diamond abrading tool

Substrate temperature and application conditions

• Substrate temperature during application and curing should be above 5°C (41°F)
• Substrate temperature during application and curing should be at least 3°C (5°F) above dew point

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Mixing ratio by volume: base to hardener 75:25 (3:1)
• The temperature of the mixed base and hardener should preferably be above 15°C (59°F), otherwise extra thinner may be
required to obtain application viscosity
• Adding too much thinner results in reduced sag resistance and slower cure
• Thinner should be added after mixing the components
