PRODUCT DATA SHEET

COVALENCE® S1239 EPOXY PRIMER

Description: S1239 primer is a specially formulated 100% volume solids (solventless) 2 component epoxy
Recommended use: As a epoxy primer in a 3 layer polyethylene coating system for superior corrosion protection
of field welded joints of steel pipes. Can be used with Covalence 3 layer coating systems:
HTLP60, DIRAX, ROCS60E.
For DIRAX, ROCS60E the epoxy primer needs to be applied on the steel surface only. For
HTLP60 the epoxy needs to be applied onto the steel surface AND onto the line coating,
when this line coating is PE, FBE or CTE.
Colour: Black
Volume solids: 100%
Weight solids: 100%
Mixing ratio: (by volume) : 100 parts of base (part A) to 60 part of hardener (part B)
(by weight) : 100 parts of base (part A) to 40 part of hardener (part B)
Typical coverage: 6.14 sq.m/litre (66 sq.ft/litre) or 23.2 sq.m/US gallon (249.8 sq.ft/US gallon). This coverage is
based on 100-150 microns or 4-6 mils average thickness.
Specific gravity: Base : 1.39
Hardener: 0.93
Typical thickness: 100-150 microns (4-6 mils)
Pot life: 100 min at 23°C (73°F), 25 min at 40°C (104°F)
Shelf life: 5 years 23°C (73°F, 163°F), out of direct sunlight. Shelf life will be lesser at higher
temperatures.
Flash point: Part A (Base) : >132°C (270°F)
Part B (Hardener): 33°C (91.4°F)
Thinner: Do not dilute
Application: 1. Prepare the pipe surface as recommended in the product application guide
2. Pour hardener into base as per mixing ratio. Stir the mixture for approximately
1 minute to ensure a homogeneous mixture.
3. Carefully apply mixed epoxy primer as indicated in the product application guide.
Ordering info: Bulk Epoxy:

For other sleeve widths, divide by 17.75 and multiple by new sleeve width in inches.
Example: 20” (508 mm) sleeve width on a DN400 diameter pipe
Part A: 58.6 ml x 20/17.75 = 66.1 ml
Part B: 35.2 ml x 20/17.75 = 39.7 ml
