Epoxy MIO intermediate paint is a heavy-duty anticorrosive primer designed for steel structures requiring long-term anticorrosive protection of over 15 years in C4-C5 highly corrosive environments.The core problem it solves is: ordinary anti-rust paints fail within 3-5 years in harsh environments such as coastal areas, chemical atmospheres, and high humidity, whereas epoxy MIO intermediate paint, through the dual mechanism of "cathodic protection + barrier protection", can provide 15-25 years of long-term protection when combined with intermediate paint and topcoat — greatly reducing whole-life-cycle maintenance costs.

Definisi produk

Epoxy MIO Intermediate, Chinese standard number HG/T 3668-2020, is a two-component (2K) ambient-temperature crosslinking-curing anticorrosive primer that uses epoxy resin (bisphenol A type, CAS 25068-38-6) and polyamide curing agent (CAS 68410-23-1) as film-forming substances, ultrafine spherical zinc powder (CAS 7440-66-6, particle size 3-8μm, mass fraction in dry film ≥70%) as anti-rust pigment, and xylene/n-butanol as solvent system.

Mekanisme perlindungan kakisan:High-content zinc powder particles in the coating form continuous conductive pathways between themselves and with the steel substrate. Since the standard electrode potential of zinc (-0.76V vs SHE) is lower than that of iron (-0.44V), zinc acts as the anode in corrosion microcells and preferentially undergoes oxidation (Zn → Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻). The released electrons flow through the conductive network to the steel surface, cathodically polarizing the steel below its immune potential—this is known as "sacrificial anode cathodic protection." Meanwhile, the corrosion products of zinc (ZnO, Zn(OH)₂, basic zinc carbonate, etc.) gradually fill the coating pores, forming a dense secondary barrier layer—the "corrosion product self-healing effect."

Data prestasi penting:

The dry film zinc powder content is ≥70% (compliant with HG/T 3668-2020 Category 2).
Volume solids content ≥60% (ISO 3233:1998)
Pull-off adhesion ≥6 MPa (ISO 4624:2016, test doll diameter 20mm)
Single coating resistance to neutral salt spray (NSS) ≥400h (ISO 9227:2022, rust width at the crisscrossing ≤2mm)
The complete system (epoxy zinc-rich 80μm + epoxy micaceous iron oxide intermediate coat 150μm + polyurethane topcoat 80μm) has an NSS resistance of ≥1000h.
Mixed application period: 4-8 hours (23°C, main agent: curing agent = 10:1 w/w)

Substrat sesuai dan had:Applicable to carbon steel, low-alloy steel, and cast iron substrates blasted to Sa2.5 (ISO 8501-1:2007). Not recommended for direct application on galvanized steel (the passivation film on the zinc surface will block the conductive path—sweep blasting pretreatment or an epoxy primer transition layer is advised), stainless steel (the surface passivation film must be removed first), or aluminum alloy (risk of galvanic corrosion—the potential difference between zinc and aluminum is too large). Application temperature limits: standard type 5–40°C (below 5°C, the epoxy-amine crosslinking reaction rate is extremely low, resulting in incomplete coating curing).

Kedudukan industri dan aplikasi:Salut antara epoksi MIOis one of the most widely used primer types in global heavy-duty anticorrosive coating systems (ISO 12944-5:2019 systems A2.08/A3.08/A4.08, etc.), forming a classic triple-protection system with epoxy MIO intermediate coat and PU/fluorocarbon/polysiloxane topcoat. Typical applications include: Akashi Kaikyo Bridge Japan (opened 1998, 100-year design life), Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (opened 2018, 500,000m² steel box girders), North Sea offshore oil platforms (NORSOK M-501 system certification), etc. According to Grand View Research, the global zinc-rich primer market was approximately USD 2.8 billion in 2023, with Asia-Pacific accounting for 48% share.

Features

ProductsFeatures

1. Cathodic protection (sacrificial anode) mechanism

The dry film of the coating contains ≥70% zinc powder, forming a continuous conductive network. The standard electrode potential of zinc (-0.76V) is lower than that of iron (-0.44V). When corrosion occurs, zinc preferentially oxidizes (Zn→Zn²⁺+2e⁻), releasing electrons that cathodically polarize the steel to its immunity potential — even if the coating has 3-5mm damage, the surrounding zinc powder can still provide continuous electrochemical protection for the exposed steel, which makes the anticorrosive performance of epoxy MIO intermediate paint far superior to ordinary anti-rust primers that rely only on physical barrier.

2. Superior corrosion resistance and durability

Single coating NSS≥400h (HG/T 3668 Class 2), and the system with epoxy MIO intermediate paint + polyurethane topcoat achieves NSS≥1000h. Under the C5-M extremely high corrosion environment (marine splash zone) of ISO 12944-2, the design service life is 15-25 years. The Akashi Kaikyo Bridge in Japan adopted an epoxy MIO intermediate paint system in 1998, and the coating remains intact after more than 25 years — the actual service life far exceeds the design value.

3. Excellent compatibility

It has excellent intercoat adhesion (pull-off method ≥5MPa) with epoxy MIO intermediate paint (MIO barrier layer), polyurethane topcoat (weather-resistant decorative layer), fluorocarbon topcoat (ultra-weather-resistant ≥25 years), and polysiloxane topcoat (high weather resistance + high chemical resistance). Epoxy MIO intermediate paint + epoxy MIO intermediate paint + topcoat is the most classic three-coat heavy-duty anticorrosion system in ISO 12944-5 — the primer provides cathodic protection, the intermediate paint provides thickness and physical barrier, and the topcoat provides weather resistance and decoration.

4. Wide adaptability to construction

Supports airless spray (nozzle 0.43–0.53 mm, 15–25 MPa), air spray, and brush/roller application (for small-area touch-ups). Single-pass dry film thickness: 60–80 μm. Mixing ratio: 10:1 (w/w). Pot life: 4–8 h (23°C). Wide temperature range for application (5–40°C); low-temperature formulation can be applied down to –5°C. Continuous stirring is required during spraying to prevent zinc powder sedimentation—use of a pressure pot with a pneumatic agitator is recommended to ensure coating uniformity.

5. Shop Primer Solderability

Specialized formulation (dry film 15-25μm) can be used as a shop primer—after application in the steel structure prefabrication plant, the steel remains suitable for welding and cutting. Welding fumes comply with occupational exposure limits (GBZ 2.1-2019), and the pass rate of X-ray inspection of welds is not affected. Suitable for automated spray painting on steel structure production lines—parts can be handled and stacked within 3-5 minutes after spraying. Note: Only the specialized shop primer formulation is weldable—the standard type with a dry film thickness of 60-80μm is not suitable for welding.

6. Environmental Compliance · Global Standards

Complies with HG/T 3668-2020 (China) Standard Class 2, ISO 12944-5:2019 system numbers A2.08/A3.08/A4.08, NORSOK M-501:2022 (Norwegian Petroleum Industry) System 1, SSPC Paint 20 (USA) Zinc-rich Primer Type II (≥77% zinc powder). VOCs<420g/L（GB 30981-2020），可通过ROHS 2011/65/EU和REACH (EC) 1907/2006ComplianceTesting。Products碳足迹约2.8kg CO₂e/kg（摇篮到大门，SimaPro 9.5kira)——低于Primers anorganik kaya zink（3.5kg CO₂e/kg）。

FAQ

Sering DitanyaSoalan lazim

The anticorrosion of epoxy MIO intermediate paint is based on the electrochemical cathodic protection principle: the high content (≥70%) of zinc powder particles in the coating forms conductive pathways among themselves and conducts with the steel substrate. Since the standard electrode potential of zinc (-0.76V) is more negative than that of iron (-0.44V), zinc preferentially oxidizes when corrosion occurs: Zn→Zn²⁺+2e⁻. The released electrons flow through the conductive network to the steel surface, cathodically polarizing it — effective protection is achieved when the potential drops below -0.85V (vs Cu/CuSO₄). If the zinc powder content is insufficient (<60%），Serbuk zink颗粒被resin epoksi绝缘包裹无法形成连续导电通路——perlindungan katod失效——Coating仅剩物理屏蔽功能，Anticorrosive寿命大幅缩短。这就是HG/T 3668standard严格KeperluanKandungan zinc debu的Punca：第1类≥80%（高Anticorrosive），第2类≥70%（standardAnti-Kakisan Tugas Berat），Kelas 3≥60%（一般Anticorrosive）。

According to HG/T 3668-2020, three types of zinc content are selected: Type 1 (≥80%) — suitable for C5/CX extremely corrosive environments (offshore splash zones, tidal zones, chemical plant acid mist areas) or major projects with a design life >25 years. It offers the highest cathodic protection efficiency, but excessive zinc powder increases internal stress and reduces flexibility (flexibility ≥3mm vs. Type 2's ≥2mm), and has the highest unit price. Type 2 (≥70%) — a general heavy-duty anti-corrosion primer suitable for C4-C5 environments (coastal industrial areas, sea-crossing bridges, petrochemical storage tanks), offering the best cost-performance ratio — an optimal balance between anti-corrosion performance and mechanical properties. Recommended for most industrial projects. Type 3 (≥60%) — suitable for C3-C4 environments (urban atmosphere, ordinary industrial plants) with general anti-corrosion requirements. Can be selected if the budget is limited and the environmental corrosion level is low. Selection suggestion: When in doubt, choose Type 2 (70%) — the safest universal option.

Zinc powder has a high density (7.14 g/cm³) and tends to settle easily in low-viscosity epoxy resin solutions. Solutions: (1) After opening the container, thoroughly stir with an electric/pneumatic stirrer for ≥5 minutes—completely lift the zinc powder from the bottom until no sediment remains. (2) After adding the hardener, continue stirring for 3-5 minutes until the mixture has a uniform color. (3) Maintain continuous low-speed stirring throughout the application process—a pressure tank with a pneumatic stirrer (rotation speed 30-60 rpm) is recommended to prevent zinc powder from re-settling during spraying, which could cause inconsistent zinc content between the initial and final spray. (4) Paint that has settled and hardened into lumps—do not forcibly stir for use (the zinc powder has separated from the resin and may form lumps, leading to pinholes, uneven zinc distribution, and reduced adhesion after spraying). Paint that has exceeded its mixed pot life and shows gelation—must be discarded. It is recommended to prepare the paint as needed (estimate usage within 2 hours), in small, multiple batches.

Salut antara epoksi MIOWhen exposed to air, surface zinc powder reacts with CO₂ and H₂O to form basic zinc carbonate ("white rust"). After 7 days (23°C, 50%RH), the following treatment is required: (1) Visual inspection — white powdery zinc salts must be removed by sweep blasting using low pressure (0.2-0.3MPa) non-metallic abrasive (garnet/alumina) to remove the zinc salt layer and create 20-30μm roughness. (2) For coatings within 6 months without visible zinc salts — light sanding (180-240 grit hand sanding) is sufficient. (3) If the coating shows extensive chalking/rusting/peeling — complete blast removal and reapplication is required. Prevention: Complete intermediate coat application within the minimum recoat interval (8-24h) when the primer surface still has active amine groups (incompletely crosslinked), achieving optimal intercoat adhesion without sanding.

Perbezaan teras: bahan pembentuk filem berbeza.Epoxy zinc-rich — organic epoxy resin + polyamide curing agent; inorganic zinc-rich — inorganic ethyl silicate/lithium silicate hydrolysis condensation. Selection comparison: (1) Anti-corrosion performance: Inorganic zinc-rich primer (zinc content ≥85%) offers higher cathodic protection efficiency, certified under NORSOK M-501 and SSPC Paint 20 Type I (inorganic) — Type II (organic). Both can achieve equivalent anti-corrosion grades, but inorganic is slightly superior. (2) Application tolerance: Epoxy zinc-rich >> inorganic zinc-rich.

(4) Cost: Epoxy zinc-rich is approximately 0.7–0.8 times the cost of inorganic zinc-rich. Selection recommendations: For conventional heavy-duty anti-corrosion projects, choose epoxy zinc-rich (easy application + high cost-effectiveness); for extreme marine environments (splash zone/tidal zone) or top-tier projects with a design life of ≥30 years—choose inorganic zinc-rich + sealer + epoxy intermediate coat + polysiloxane topcoat.
