Resicoat® R4-ES
for Electrostatic Spray Application on Preheated Surfaces
Code: HGF10R
®
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.

Properties Density 1.30 – 1.50 g/cm³ ISO 8130-2
Gel time at 200° C 40 – 60 sec. modified ISO 8130-6
Particle size distribution < 32 µm = 20 – 50 % Malvern
< 125 µm > 95 % ISO 8130-1
Storage stability 6 months from date of manufacture at ≤ 23° C
Application Preheating temperature object 200 – 220° C object temperature
Data Post cure conditions object The coating is self curing, if the wall thickness of the steel/cast
iron is greater than 8 mm. If the wall thickness of the steel/cast
iron is less than 8 mm, additional curing of 3 to 8 minutes at
200° C object temperature is required.
Coating 1. Pre-cleaning The surface must be free of oil, grease, salt, and other
Process 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.

It is assumed that Resicoat R4 is suitable to meet the high atmospheric corrosivity category C4 (typically
in industrial areas and coastal areas with moderate salinity) and the very high atmospheric- corrosivity -
categories C5-I (industrial) and C5-M (marine) if applied as a holiday-free coating at a film thickness
>400 µm. A sufficient film thickness is highly required to ensure good edge coverage. For gloss and color
stability a UV-resistant polyester topcoat has to be applied.
