Product Reviews
” I purchased some EM121 paint a while ago after reading numerous reviews, REALLY impressed with several factors, coverage, lack of mess, no runs, no brush bristles, how long the mixture was useable for and the quality of the results..”

| Product description | 2 pack modified high build epoxy rust proofing paint. |
| Pack description |
5ltr pack covers approx. 25m2. Includes 3.00ltr component A, 1.00ltr component B & 1ltr thinner. You may receive extra colour. |
| Application temperature | Can be applied to steel as low as 0c. The steel must be at least 3 degrees above the current dew point. (See our dew point calculator.) |
| Thinning | Use only the epoxy thinner supplied, from 5 to 20% max. |
| Application & recoating | Brush or spray.
A second coat or topcoat can be applied any time after approx. 5 hours* with no need to abrade between coats. If recoating or topcoating once the first coat has fully cured (after approx. 7 days), lightly abrade first with P320 paper. * At 20 degrees centigrade. Longer interval may be required in colder conditions. |
| Spraying | Minimum 1.8mm nozzle or a HB (high build) primer set up. Test atomisation on a test panel first. Viscosity will vary, i.e. thicker in colder temperatures. Data correct at 20c.
Conventional Spray (Air) 3-4bar – 44-58psi Airless Spray 18thou tip, 150bar – 2176psi |
| Pot life | Pot life is the time from mixing the two components together to the point at which the mixed paint is no longer useable. With Armaguard Epoxy Mastic, you have 2.5 hours pot life once mixed at 20c – longer at colder temperatures. |
| Shelf life | We recommend storing upside down in a dry place at around 20c. In these conditions the product has a shelf life of 12 months.
Do not store below 20c as this can affect performance. |
| Disposal | Allow any excess mixed paint to cure in your mixing cup and throw away as dry waste. |
| Cleaning | Clean up with standard thinner or gun wash. Do not thin the paint with standard thinner as this will affect the paint cure. |
| Safety | Use in a well-ventilated atmosphere. Use a respirator face mask when spraying or brushing in an enclosed space. Please see the MSDS (material safety data sheet) in our data sheet area.
Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye protection. |
| FAQ’s | How many coats are recommended? We recommend applying two coats. This approach ensures a thicker coating, enhancing protection and reducing the risk of missed spots (holidays).
Can I paint over a rusty surface? Yes, Epoxy Mastic effectively seals rusty surfaces due to its non-porous nature. However, we advise removing all loose material from the surface before applying the paint. Does Epoxy Mastic come in colours? Yes, we offer 9 standard colours and can provide custom colours for a minimum pack size of 5 litres. How long should I wait before overcoating? You can apply a second coat or topcoat approximately 5 hours after the first coat. No need to abrade between coats. For recoating or topcoating after the first coat has fully cured (around 7 days), lightly abrade the surface with P320 paper. Can I paint over Epoxy Mastic with a cellulose topcoat? Yes, Epoxy Mastic accepts most types of topcoats. If uncertain, test a small area first and check for any adverse reactions before performing an adhesion test if necessary. |
