Protecting Steelwork with Epoxide Enamel

Hangers' epoxide enamel is an air‐drying twin‐pack material of which the major constituent is an epoxy resin solution pigmented with either titanium dioxide or other pigment according to the colour required. The minor ingredient, or curing agent, is a special blend of principally polyamide‐type resin which reacts with the epoxy resin after mixing. The mixed paint assumes its best characteristics some eight to sixteen hours after mixing, according to the prevailing temperature at the time. If the material is used soon after that period the resultant dry films will show their best properties.
