Used for corrosion protection of field welded joints of steel pipes or as an overcoat in multi-layer sleeve systems at temperatures to 140°C (284°F).
Product Description
Canusa-CPS P Epoxy/Primer is a specially formulated 100% volume solids (solventless) two-component epoxy with a high temperature range to 140°C (284°F).
P Epoxy/Primer is typically used as an epoxy primer in a three-layer coating system for superior corrosion protection of field welded joints of steel pipes or as an overcoat in multi-layer sleeve systems. Usage of Canusa's proven method of force curing the P Epoxy/Primer to the steel enables the installer to "pre-inspect" the joint prior to field joint application. This provides the assurance that the pipe is fully protected and it will not be displaced and exposed to corrosive contaminants during field joint installation.
Application
Prepare the pipe surface as recommended in the product-specific Installation Guide.
Follow the mixing instructions that are contained within the epoxy packaging.
With a gloved hand, pour the combined mixture onto the pipe.
Begin spreading the epoxy primer (to a uniform thickness) circumferentially around the pipe surface using the applicator pad.
Use a wet film thickness gauge to ensure a correct, uniform thickness has been achieve all around the pipe.

Viscosity
P Epoxy/Primer Base - 43,000 ± 12,000 cps at 40°C (ASTM D2196 Brookfield RVT @ 10rpm) P Epoxy/Primer Cure - 750 - 1,200 cps (ASTM D2196 @ 25°C)
Typical Thickness
6 to 9 mils (0.15 to 0.23 mm mm)
Number of Coats
One
Pot Life
20 minutes @ 23°C (73°F)
Shelf Life
3 years @ 23°C, out of direct sunlight. Shelf life will be lesser at higher temperatures.

Safety
Handle with care. Before and during use, observe all safety labels on packaging and paint containers, consult CANUSA Material Safety Data Sheets and follow all local or national safety regulations. Harmful or fatal if swallowed; immediately seek medical assistance if swallowed. Avoid inhalation if possible of solvent vapors or paint mist, as well as paint contact with skin and eyes. Apply only in well ventilated areas and ensure that adequate forced ventilation exists when applying paint in confined spaces or when the air is stagnant. Always take precautions against risks of fire and explosion.
Amount Required
Epoxy required for 300 mm / 12" cutback. For other cutbacks, divide by 12 and multiply by new cutback in inches. Example: 200 mm (8") cutback on 610 mm diameter pipe Base: 92 mL x 8/12 = 62 mL base Cure: 23 mL x 8/12 = 16 mL cure
