Key Features & Benefits

Customer presentation, March 2007

3 choices for Tailored Protection

Penguard Express

Fast drying, high solids epoxy coating for use as

an anti corrosive primer or intermediate coat for the protection of steel and

other substrates in atmospheric exposure

Penguard Express ZP

Offers all of the benefits of Penguard Express and is

additionally pigmented with active zinc

phosphate pigments for increased corrosion

protection

Natural choice as the first coat in a multi coat

system

Penguard Express MIO

Is reinforced with micaceous iron oxide pigments for increased

barrier effect

The overlapping pigments reduce moisture

penetrating through the paint film

FEATURE

BENEFIT

Customer presentation, March 2007

Fast to dry

Speeding up the production process

FEATURE

BENEFIT

• The range of Penguard Express products are designed to speed up the production process

– Very fast dry-to-recoat

– Very fast dry-to-handle

• At 40°C a coat of 100 m DFT is surface dry after only 30 minutes, and can be recoated after 1 hour

• At 23°C a coat of 100 m DFT is surface dry after only 1 hour, and can be recoated after 2 hours

Customer presentation, March 2007

• Fabrication yards and paint shops require processing steel in the shortest possible time

Speeding up the production processBENEFIT

– Faster throughput of the structures to be painted• Ability to provide quicker delivery times• Ability to take on increased number of projects

– Reduced space required for drying of the structures

• Avoids bottlenecks in the production process

– Reduced risk for failures• Reduced risk for rain on wet paint• No need for washing or cleaning between coats

Customer presentation, March 2007

Structural Steel

Normally coated with 1 or 2 coats of high build epoxy, potentially with a topcoat

Exposed Steel Structures

Normally protected by a coating system consisting of:

– 1 coat zinc rich primer

– 1 or 2 coats of high build epoxy

– 1 coat polyurethane topcoat

Speeding up the production processBENEFIT

• Paint systems to be completed in one day

Customer presentation, March 2007

Fast to dry

Reduced handling damage

FEATURE

BENEFIT

• The range of Penguard Express products are designed for shortest possible dry-to-handle times

– Quickly forms a hard coating - allowing structures to be handled, moved and stacked with minimum damage

– Speeds up the production process at fabrication yards and paint shops

– Complex items can be turned and coated within the same day

– Minimum damage to the coating when turn/handling

Customer presentation, March 2007

Low & High temperature application

Maximising efficiency & cost reduction

FEATURE

BENEFIT

• Penguard Express can be applied in temperatures ranging from -5°C to above 40°C

– Low temperature application is essential in cold climates to allow continous production

– Cost of heating in paint shops can be substantially reduced

– Same curing agent all year round in every climate

– Pot life above 45 minutes at 40°C

Customer presentation, March 2007

High volume solids

Compliancy – meeting legislations

FEATURE

BENEFIT

• 74% volume solids – 230 g/ltr VOC’s

– Meeting current legislations and future solvent emission directives

– In comparison with a coating with 50% solids, only 2/3rds of the paint volume is required

• Quicker application• Reduced paint & can wastage

– Reduced solvent emissions means less environment impact and safer to use

Customer presentation, March 2007

Broad dry film thickness range

Improved flexibility and efficiency

FEATURE

BENEFIT

• Application from 75 m to 250 m DFT

– Easy to apply

– Very good flow, surface wetting and levelling - even at 75 m

– Very high sag resistance

– Primer and intermediate coat can be applied in one shot

– Can also be applied by brush and roller

Customer presentation, March 2007

Optimum topcoat hiding power

• The unique Colour Management Concept

• Three base colours designed to provide optimum coverage by selected topcoat colour

• Can potentially provide same coverage and cosmetic appearance by reduced DFT or number of coats

Reduction in topcoat thickness requirement

FEATURE

BENEFIT

Customer presentation, March 2007

Customer presentation, March 2007

Corrosion Protection Performance

• All three variants of Penguard Express have gone through extensive corrosion protection testing

• Alone, and in coating systems, Penguard Express has been exposed to following corrosion tests:– Saltspray

– Prohesion

– Sea Water

– Humidity chamber

Customer presentation, March 2007

Corrosion Protection Performance

• Penguard Express can be applied direct to metal and provides sufficient corrosion protection including high durability C4 environments, as defined by ISO 12944

• For C5 environments, Penguard Express will provide sufficient corrosion protection for high durability when used in systems with zinc rich primers

• Penguard Express is not for use on immersed structures
