Demão intermediária epóxi MIO(Epoxy MIO Intermediate)é um fundo anticorrosivo bicomponente (2K) de alto desempenho em que a resina epóxi curada com poliamida atua como formador de filme e o pó de zinco ultrfino (teor em filme seco ≥70 %) como principal pigmento anticorrosivo.O revestimento fornece proteção ativa contra a corrosão por meio do mecanismo de proteção catódica por anodo de sacrifício do zinco sobre o aço; mesmo que o filme seco seja danificado localmente, o pó de zinco ao redor continua a fornecer proteção eletroquímica ao aço exposto.CompliesHG/T 3668-2020《Demão intermediária epóxi MIO》tipo 2; combinado com uma camada intermediária epóxi MIO (mica-ferro) e um acabamento de poliuretano / fluorocarbono, o sistema resiste a névoa salina neutra ≥1000 h e atende aos requisitos da classe de alta corrosividade C4-C5 da ISO 12944.É amplamente utilizada como fundo anticorrosivo em grandes obras, como pontes sobre o mar, plataformas petrolíferas offshore, tanques de armazenamento petroquímicos, torres de transmissão elétrica, torres de turbinas eólicas e grandes edifícios com estrutura de aço.
ProductsVisão geral
Visão geral do produto: para quem? qual problema resolve?
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.
Definição do produto
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.
Mecanismo de proteção anticorrosiva:High content of zinc powder particles in the coating forms a continuous conductive pathway between the particles themselves and between the zinc and 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 the corrosion microcell and preferentially undergoes oxidation reaction (Zn → Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻). The released electrons flow through the conductive network to the steel surface, causing the steel to be cathodically polarized 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."
Dados de desempenho principais:
- 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)
Substratos adequados e limitações: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).
Posição no setor e aplicações:Demão intermediária epóxi 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.
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
Fórmula especializada (película seca de 15-25 μm) pode ser usada como primer de oficina — após aplicação na fábrica de pré-fabricação de estruturas de aço, o aço ainda pode ser submetido a processos de soldagem e corte. A fumaça de soldagem atende aos limites de exposição ocupacional (GBZ 2.1-2019), e a taxa de aprovação do exame radiográfico de soldas não é afetada. Adequado para pintura automatizada em linha de produção de estruturas de aço — pode ser manuseado e empilhado 3-5 minutos após a pulverização. Atenção: apenas a fórmula especializada de primer de oficina possui soldabilidade — a película seca padrão de 60-80 μm não é adequada para soldagem.
