Sigmadur 1800 Extra High Gloss Set A+B

Sigmadur 1800 - 2-component High Gloss High Solid Topcoat

The Sigmadur 1800 is a high-performance, 2-component finish coating designed specifically for applications where durability, protection and a high-gloss finish are essential. Based on polymer urethane, this coating provides excellent protection against atmospheric influences and various chemicals, making it ideal for both industrial and commercial projects. The product excels in abrasion resistance and toughness, making it well suited for surfaces that are heavily used or exposed to harsh conditions.

Description

Sigmadur 1800 is a high solid finish coat that guarantees long-term protection and quality. Due to its advanced polyurethane formulation, the product offers a high degree of resistance to abrasion, oils, kerosenes, petroleum products and mild chemicals. This makes the finish coat a perfect choice for applications in demanding environments, such as the marine, industrial and petrochemical sectors. It offers not only protection against external influences, but also long-lasting gloss and color retention.

Applications

The versatility of Sigmadur 1800 makes it applicable in a variety of industries. In the maritime industry, it is often used to coat ship decks, hull structures and other parts exposed to salty sea air, UV radiation and moisture. Its abrasion resistance and resistance to chemicals also make it suitable for surfaces that frequently come into contact with oils and petroleum products, such as storage tanks, pipelines and industrial equipment.

In the construction industry, Sigmadur 1800 can be used to coat metal structures exposed to various weather conditions. The coating provides not only protection against rust and corrosion, but also a high-gloss finish that improves the appearance of the structure.

Features and benefits

Sigmadur 1800 offers several properties that contribute to the product's wide applicability and durability:

• Resistant to atmospheric influences, oils and chemicals
  The coating is specially designed to protect surfaces from influences such as rain, UV radiation, salty air, oils and milder chemicals. This keeps the surface in excellent condition even under harsh conditions.
• Excellent gloss and color retention
  The product retains its shine and color for a long time, even when exposed to intense sunlight or other influences that would normally cause discoloration or dullness.
• Non-chalking, non-yellowing
  Another important advantage is that the Sigmadur 1800 does not chalk or yellow, which often occurs with other coatings after prolonged sun exposure.
• Can be painted over indefinitely
  The finish coat is easy to repaint, even after a long time. This makes maintenance and repairs easy and efficient.
• Tough and wear-resistant
  Due to its strong formulation, Sigmadur 1800 offers a high degree of toughness and abrasion resistance, making the product particularly suitable for intensively used surfaces.
• Curing at low temperatures
  One of the unique features of Sigmadur 1800 is that it can cure at temperatures as low as -5°C, allowing the product to be applied even in colder climates or during winter conditions.

Compatibility

Sigmadur 1800 can easily be used in combination with epoxy or polyurethane primers. It is also compatible with itself, making it possible to apply multiple coats of the same finish coat without sacrificing quality. This offers flexibility for different projects and makes the product suitable for both new applications and maintenance work.

Color and gloss level

Sigmadur 1800 is available in virtually any color, making it customizable for different requirements and aesthetic preferences. In addition, the coating has a high-gloss finish that not only provides an attractive appearance, but also helps repel dirt and other contaminants, simplifying maintenance.

Drying times

At a temperature of 10°C, Sigmadur 1800 is repaintable after approximately 24 hours. The drying time may vary depending on ambient temperature and humidity, but the relatively short drying time makes the product efficient to use, especially in projects where quick turnaround times are required.

Dilution

Sigma Thinner 21-06 is recommended for thinning Sigmadur 1800. This thinner ensures that the product maintains the correct viscosity for optimal application, without compromising the protective properties of the coating.

Yield and layer thickness

The yield of Sigmadur 1800 is approximately 9.1 m² per liter at a dry film thickness of 75 µm. This makes the product cost-effective without sacrificing quality or protection. The high solids content means that the desired film thickness can be achieved in fewer coats, saving time and material.

Application methods

Sigmadur 1800 can be applied by various methods, such as spraying, brushing or rolling. Depending on the specific application and circumstances, the most appropriate method can be chosen. However, the product is only suitable for applications above the waterline, which means it should not be used underwater.

Mixing ratio

The mixing ratio for Sigmadur 1800 is 83:17, which means that 83 parts of the base component must be mixed with 17 parts of hardener. This mixing process is important for achieving the correct chemical reaction and optimal properties of the coating.
