Product Details:
MasterProtect 180 is a protective high build epoxy resin coating specifically developed to protect concrete. Supplied as a two-component system comprising pigmented base and a hardener, it requires only on site mixing to produce an easily applied decorative and chemically resistant finish. MasterProtect 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. MasterProtect 180 coatings will not support the growth of bacteria. 

Primary Uses:
For the internal protection of concrete tanks containing drinking water, certain chemicals, oils and fuel. Contact your BASF representative for further advice. As an impervious, resilient and chemically resistant floor or wall coating in food manufacturing plants, breweries, canning and bottling factories. As a gas and vapour barrier. As a protective and decorative coating in laboratories, abattoirs, etc. Other usage areas include oil refineries, paper mills, power stations, garages, hospitals, sugar refineries, hangars and most liquid containment areas.

• Solvent free
• High build coating
• Easily applied by brush, roller or airless
• spraying equipment

Standard:
Meets the requirements of BS 6920 Part 3 for suitability of potable water @ 25°C.

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 MasterProtect 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 BASF MasterEmaco or MasterBrace repair systems. Ensure all blow holes and surface imperfections are made good prior to application of the MasterProtect 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. 

Mixing:
MasterProtect 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. 

Application:
MasterProtect 180 coating can be applied using good quality rollers or short haired brushes or by airless spray. It is recommended that MasterProtect 180 coating be applied in two coats of contrasting colours to ensure complete coverage. 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 MasterBrace ADH 2200 thixotropic epoxy resin filler. If the application is delayed more than 16 hours at 40°C or 36 hours at 20°C 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:F
or application by airless spray, use a 45:1 or higher ratio pump, minimum 9mm dia hoses and HD tip 19-23 thou.
