abcd APP 120

Product Description abcd APP 120 is a powder coating primer that is designed to give enhanced corrosion protection of mild
steel. abcd APP 120 is an epoxy-polyester primer including active anticorrosive pigments. The addition of
these active pigments provides a steel passivation effect to protect the substrate. This enhances the
performance when compared with standard hybrid or other non active systems.
Interpon APP120 must be overcoated with a powder or a PU liquid topcoat.
Interpon APP120 could be used as holding primer with a maximum waiting delay of 6 weeks. In this datasheet
the abcd APP120 primer overcoated with a powder finish is termed the “abcd APP120” system.

Powder Properties Chemical type Epoxy polyester hybrid

Appearance Light grey satin 70 +/- 5 units (other colours available)
Particle Size Suitable for electrostatic spray
Specific gravity 1,65 - 1,75 g/cm³ .
Storage Dry, cool conditions below 30°C
Stoving schedule See curing condition

Test Conditions The results shown below are based on mechanical and chemical tests which (unless otherwise indicated)
have been carried out under laboratory conditions using a complete coating system and are given for
guidance only. Actual product performance will depend upon the circumstances under which the product is

Corrosion Tests The abcd APP120 system provides excellent protection against corrosion on the surface to which it is
applied. However the efficiency of this protection depends upon the surface, its preparation before coating
and the topcoat applied. If there is penetrating damage to the coating system, there may be localised signs of
corrosion where damage has occurred but this will not affect the adhesion of the film to the adjacent surface.
abcd considerably limits the extent of spread of corrosion in the event of coating damage

Pretreatment For maximum protection it is essential that abcd APP120 is applied to a clean, dry, oxide-free ferrous
metal surface, followed by recommended abcd topcoat. Surface preparation depends upon the type of
surface, its condition and the required performance. For good protection against corrosion the following is
recommended:
Degreasing & phosphating followed by passivation, rinsing with demineralised water and drying. Follow the
procedural advice of the pretreatment supplier and/or
Blast clean to at least SA 2.5 in accordance with ISO 8501.1, 1998 (F), or Swedish standard S15 05.09.00
with a sharp angular surface profile of Rz 35-65 µm, Ra 6–10 µm

Application abcd APP120 is suitable for corona electrostatic spray and for tribo depending on the tribo equipment
Recommended film thickness 60-100 µm A good protection is linked with the recommended film
thickness
Recycling Unused powder can be reclaimed using suitable equipment and
recycled through the coating system, but a minimum of 70% new
powder should be used.

Curing abcd APP120 must be cured the following conditions, depending if it is immediately overcoated or used as
holding primer. The conditions depend also on the topcoat type: liquid or powder.

For an immediate covering of the primer with the powder topcoat and to provide the best adhesion between them we recommend to
prefer the green cure conditions of the primer.
The primer should be cured in a convection oven, optionally with/ or infra-red heaters, with air temperature not exceeding 220˚C.
Note: Failure to comply with the recommended curing conditions may affect the adhesion of the topcoat and cause degradation of the
coating properties of the system. Parts coated with abcd APP120 should be handled carefully avoiding any surface contamination.

Topcoat Application abcd APP120 should ideally be overcoated within 24 hours of application. However the overcoating could
be done until 6 weeks after application and if needed with a preliminary cleaning. To ensure the integrity of the
abcd APP120 powder system, as well as optimum performance, the whole system must be cured in
accordance with the recommended curing conditions of the powder topcoat.
For a use as a holding primer before overcoating the primer should be cleaned. Remove dust by blowing with
clean dry air and/or brush with a soft brush.
For overcoating with a liquid PU topcoat Interpon APP120 must first undergo a slight dry sanding with a 800
sandpaper.

Damage repair Any damage to the abcd APP120 system must be repaired as soon as possible.
Surface preparation
Damaged areas must be clean and free of grease or rust. Dry-sand the area with 600 grade paper down to
the substrate. The area must be completely free of dust and cleaned with a non-aggressive solvent before
proceeding.
Application
For repairs the following two-coat liquid paint system from International Protective Coatings Cromadex is
Recommended:
1st Coat: two-pack acid etch primer
2nd Coat: two-pack polyurethane topcoat Interthane 990 or Cromadex 600

Pretreatment For maximum protection it is essential to pretreat architectural components prior to the application of
abcd D1036 Matt (30). Aluminium components should receive a full multi-stage chromate conversion
coating, suitable chrome-free pre-treatment or suitable pre-anodising to clean and condition the substrate.
Detailed advice should be sought from the pre-treatment supplier.
Galvanised steel requires surface preparation by either multi-stage pretreatment using either zinc phosphate
or chromate conversion or controlled sweep blasting. Depending on the type of galvanizing, degassing or use
of anti-bubbling additives may be required – follow the procedural advice of the pre-treatment supplier.
abcd D1036 Gloss (85) products may also be used on cast or mild steel.
For outdoor use abcd PZ anti-corrosive primer over a correctly prepared substrate is recommended.

Application abcd D1036 Matt (30) can be applied by manual or automatic electrostatic spray or tribo charging
equipment. For solid shades unused powder can be reclaimed using suitable equipment and
recycled through the coating system. Detailed information and specific advice for special finishes is available
upon request. Certain colours should be applied at higher film thickness to ensure coverage.

Post Application For specific advice on the suitability of post coating processes such as bending or the use of sealants,
adhesives, thermal break, cleaning, etc. please consult Akzo Nobel
