Resicoat® R4 ES
for Electrostatic Spray Application on Preheated Surfaces
Product Resicoat® R4 is a high quality thermosetting epoxy powder coating for the corrosion protection of
Description valves and fittings, manufactured from cast iron or steel. It fulfills the stringent requirements of GSK.
The powder coating is applied in one layer on a preheated surface by electrostatic spray application.
Typical film thickness achieved is in the range of 250 – 500 μm. The resultant thermoset epoxy has a
high mechanical resistance with excellent electrical insulation properties. Drinking water approvals
are available to confirm the coatings suitability, as a hygienic and environmental friendly coating. The
outstanding adhesion of Resicoat R4® epoxy powders to the metal substrate provides long term
protection of the coated component. It ensures a reliable conservation to the function and value of
the parts for the common water and gas distribution network. The applicator of Resicoat® R4 benefits
from a modern and environmentally friendly process. It is possible to overcoat Resicoat ® R4 with
polyester powder and liquid coatings to achieve an UV protection.
Coating 1. Pre-cleaning The surface must be free of oil, grease, salt, and other
Process impurities.
2. Blasting Moulding sand, rust and sharp edges must be removed with
angular steel grit. The graphite from the cast iron must be
removed from the blasting material according NACE No.2 /
SSPC-10 / Sa 2.5. Recommended anchor profile of � 60 μm
should be stored max. 4 hours before pre-heating (dust-free and
dry).
3. Pre-heating This form of heating produces a uniform, defined temperature in
the component. Any oxidation should be avoided.
4. Coating application Immediately after preheating, the coating process starts without
loosing any object temperature. The coating is done in the
shortest possible time in a single pass with no interruption.
5. Coating cure Curing is achieved by the heat contained in the object. If the
heating capacity of the work piece is sufficient. To confirm fully
curing, MIBK is dropped for 30 sec. on the film surface with no
visible change.

Conformities
ASTM C550-05
ISO 12944-2, table 1 (standard does not include powder coating systems)
It is assumed that Resicoat® R4 is suitable to meet the high atmospheric corrosivity category C4 (typically in
industrial areas and coastal areas with moderate salinity) and the very high atmospheric-
corrositivitycategories
C5-I (industrial) and C5-M (marine) if applied as a holiday-free coating at a film thickness
> 400 μm. A sufficient film thickness is highly required to ensure good edge coverage. For gloss and color
stability a UV-resistant polyester topcoat has to be applied.
