Resicoat® R4-ES
for Electrostatic Spray Application on Preheated Surfaces
Code: HJF14R

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. 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.

Typical value Method

Powder Binder System Epoxy
Properties Density 1.45 – 1.55 g/cm³ ISO 8130-2
Gel time at 200° C 25 – 40 sec. modified ISO 8130-6
Particle size distribution < 32 µm = 20 – 40 % Malvern
< 160 µm > 98.5 % ISO 8130-1
Storage stability 4 months from delivery date at 23° C

Application Preheating temperature object 180 – 220° C object temperature

Data Post cure conditions object - self curing if wall thickness of steel/cast iron is > 8 mm.
- if wall thickness of steel/cast iron is < 8 mm or the curing is not
sufficient, post curing of 8 to 3 min./200° C object temperature is
necessary.

Coating process 1. Pre-cleaning The surface must be free of oil, grease, salt, and other
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.
