AS/NZS 3750.2:2008

Abstract

Specifies requirements for two-component ultra high-build paints for the protection of iron and steel against exterior corrosion in aggressive service conditions.

Scope

This Standard specifies requirements for two-component ultra high-build paints for the protection of iron and steel against exterior corrosion in aggressive service conditions. They are suitable for application only by using high pressure, high volume airless spray equipment. Paints specified in this Standard comply with the requirements of Paint type C34 in AS/NZS 2312. These paints are produced in a limited colour range, usually white, grey or black.
Ultra high-build (UHB) paints are classified as follows:
(a) Type I, two-pack epoxy.
(b) Type II, polyester.
(c) Type III, vinyl ester.
Ultra high-build paints are not intended to provide an aesthetically pleasing finish, but should provide long-term protection in aggressive atmospheric exposures for periods in excess of 15 years.
NOTES:
1 These paints may be used as detailed for system EPF1, in AS/NZS 2312.
2 Appendix A contains recommendations which should be provided by the purchaser at the time of enquiry or order.
3 Additional information on the use and application of ultra high-build paints is contained in Appendix B.
