MASTERSEAL
180
A non-toxic solvent free high build,
protective epoxy resin coating
Description
Packaging
MASTERSEAL 180 is a protective high build epoxy resin

coating specifically developed to protect concrete and steel.
Supplied as a two-pack system comprising pigmented base
and a hardener, it requires only on site mixing to produce an
easily applied decorative and chemically resistant finish.
MASTERSEAL 180 can be safely used in areas where
contact with foodstuffs is envisaged or for coating potable
water storage tanks. It is solvent free and can be used with
safety in small rooms or tanks without the need to provide
special ventilation. MASTERSEAL 180 coatings will not
support the growth of bacteria.
MASTERSEAL 180 is supplied in 5kg units.

Application procedure
Surface preparation:
The substrate should be a smooth or semi-smooth sound
surface such as concrete or metal. It is most important to
ensure that thorough surface preparation is undertaken prior
to application of the MASTERSEAL 180 coating.
Concrete:
Ensure concrete is free from excessive laitance, grease, oil,
curing compound, etc. Ensure concrete is sound, cutting
back where necessary and making good using suitable
Degussa EMACO or CONCRESIVE repair systems. Ensure
all blow holes and surface imperfections are made good
prior to application of the MASTERSEAL 180 coating.
Ensure concrete is at least 28 days old. Contamination by
oil, grease, fats etc. must be removed before other forms of
preparation begin. Remove laitance to expose blow holes,
by light grit blasting.
Steel:
All previous surface treatments should be removed taking
the surface back to base metal. The base metal should be
abraded and preferably shot blasted with grit, steel shot or
proprietary abrasive. Where shot blasting is impractical pre-
treatment may be carried out with pneumatic de-scaling

guns, tap hammers, rotary wire brushes or by flame scaling.
Cleaning with solvent or a strong detergent is advisable to
ensure surface is free from grease etc. Do not allow surface
to re-oxidise before application of MASTERSEAL 180.
Note: Higher concentration of mineral acids may cause

matting of the surface and colour changes.
Mixing:
MASTERSEAL 180 is supplied in two pre-weighed
components, base and reactor. No additions or omissions
are required. Add reactor contents to the base component
and mix thoroughly for using a slow speed drill fitted with a
suitable mixing paddle until a uniform streak free colour is
achieved.
All equipment must be cleaned immediately after use with

CLEANING SOLVENT NO. 2. Similar cleaning procedures
should be adopted for break periods exceeding 15 minutes
duration.
Application:
MASTERSEAL 180 coating can be applied using good
quality rollers or short haired brushes or by airless spray. It
is recommended that MASTERSEAL 180 coating be applied
in two coats of contrasting colours to ensure complete
coverage.
MASTERSEAL 180:
Where indicated, apply MASTERSEAL 180 protective epoxy
coating as manufactured by Degussa, or similar approved to
the following specification:
Prior to the application of each coat the surface should be

examined for signs of pin-holing, etc. Where pin-holing is
evident these should be filled using CONCRESIVE 2200
thixotropic epoxy resin filler.
If the application is delayed more than 16 hours at 40C or
36 hours at 20C after the previous coat (the higher the
ambient temperature, the shorter the maximum period), then
the previous coat must be thoroughly abraded to give an
adequate mechanical key and solvent wiped.
Airless spray:
For application by airless spray, use a 45:1 or higher ratio
pump, minimum 9mm dia hoses and HD tip 19-23 thou.
Overcoating:
Where areas need to be overcoated due to damage etc. it is
important that the areas to be treated are well abraded using
a stiff rotary wire brush or coarse sand paper to give an
adequate key. Completely strip off any unsound coating and
proceed with overcoating as for new work.
Chemical resistance
MASTERSEAL 180 is resistant to intermittent spillages of
the following typically encountered chemicals:
Formaldehyde, 40% solution

Sulphuric Acid, 50% solution
Hydrochloric Acid, 50% solution
Hydrochloric Acid 5% solution
Lactic Acid, 50% solution
Nitric Acid, 10% solution
Sodium Hydroxide, 50% solution
Diesel oil
Wine
Sea and brackish water
Aviation hydraulic fuels (Skydrol)
Vegetable oils
