BERGER PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
SURFACE The service life span and the service performance of STEELSHIELD 1100 are directly related to
the degree of surface preparation.
PREPARATION
STEEL
• Steel must be blasted to a minimum cleanliness of Sa 2½ (ISO 8501-1:1988) or SSPC-
SP10. For optimum / best performance and for highly corrosive conditions, blasting to Sa
3.0 / First Quality or SSPC-SP5 is recommended. A surface profile of 75 – 125 microns is
required. To achieve the required profile, abrasive of sizes S240, G24 or larger are
recommended.
• After blasting, remove dust from the surface and the surface should be clean.
• Apply Steelshield 1100 immediately after blasting to avoid oxidation and recontamination of
the blasted steel surface. If case of oxidation or recontamination, re-blast to the required
standard.
To avoid condensation of moisture onto substrate prior to coating application, relative humidity
should not exceed 85% and substrate temperature should be more than 3°C above Dew Point.
SUITABLE PRIMERS Steelshield 1100 should be applied directly on the blast clean surface.
For small areas where blasting is not possible, clean the surface with machine tools and apply
Epimastic 3000 HS.
NOTES • This product contains highly volatile styrene. During and immediately after application
some styrene loss is inevitable. The amount of styrene loss depends on temperature. Thus
the actual volume solids and dry film thickness attained may vary slightly from the
calculated figures based on the recommended guideline of 85% volume solids given.
• As this is a highly reactive product, mix the catalyst with the base only when ready to apply.
Once application is complete, flush equipment immediately.
• Application at very low temperatures and / or high humidity may result in incomplete cure
and surface tackiness.
SAFETY Base
Keep away from heat and open flame. Store in cool place below 27°C.
PRECAUTION This product contains styrene. Avoid prolonged contact with skin and breathing vapour or spray
mist. Wear suitable protective clothing such as respirator, overalls, goggles and gloves. Use
barrier cream. Do not use in poorly ventilated areas especially in confined tank interiors.
This product is flammable. Keep away from sources of ignition. Do not smoke.
Take precautionary measures against static discharge.
In case of fire, blanket flames with carbon dioxide or dry chemicals extinguisher.
In enclosed environment, use air supplied hood respirators for long periods of application.
A full piece canister mask approved for styrene is adequate for 30 minutes maximum exposure
limit.
Catalyst
WARNING! This is a highly reactive organic peroxide catalyst and must be kept away from all
sources of oxidisable materials, heat and ignition. Store in original container below 27°C.
FIRST AID Eyes : In the event of accidental splashes, flush eyes with warm water immediately
and seek medical advice.
Skin : Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water or approved industrial cleaner.
Do Not Use solvents or thinners.
Inhalation : Remove to fresh air, loosen collar and keep patient rested.
Ingestion : In case of accidental ingestion, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Obtain
immediate medical attention.
