How/Where to Use EonCoat Standard?
What Are The Most Common Applications For EonCoat?
The most common applications for EonCoat are in the oil and gas industry. Petroleum storage tanks, internal, external, and roofs top the list. Pipeline exteriors are also a common usage with interior diameter work underway. Oil platforms and mining equipment are common. Power plants, marine terminals and process equipment round out the bulk of the current industry usage of EonCoat.
Can EonCoat Be Applied Over Existing Rust And Corrosion?
With EonCoat, only a NACE 3 / SSPC-SP 6 / SA 2 commercial grit blast cleaning is typically necessary. If no mill scale or old coating are present it is possible to coat directly on existing rust as long as it is tightly bonded.
Can EonCoat Be Colored?
EonCoat is only available in white. However, a Topcoat can be applied with any color you like.
Does EonCoat Need A Top Coat?
EonCoat does not need a top coat to protect from corrosion. However, topcoats have many benefits. Durability, color, and physical protection to name a few. EonCoat requires a top coat in highly acidic and extremely alkaline environments.
Application and Training
What Does The Preparation Process Entail?
Only a NACE 3 / SSPC-SP 6 / SA 2 commercial blast cleaning is typically necessary. There is no need to blast to NACE 1 or 2 since oxidation on the surface allows for the best chemical reaction.
Can The Speed Of Reaction Be Slowed Down To Increase Working Time Before It Is Cured?
There are various ways to decrease reaction time, but they are specific to the material being coated and environmental factors. Call EonCoat to discuss your specific application.
What Spray Thickness Is Recommended?
Corrosion Protection Coating And CUI Coating: 20 mils. (500 microns)
Weldable Coating: 40 mils. (1000 microns)
Do I Need Special Equipment In Order To Apply EonCoat Coatings?
EonCoat is a two-component system applied using a High pressure plural spray pump with stainless steel lowers. The coating uses a 1:1 ratio and sprays using standard plural spray equipment that mixes either in a remote mix manifold close to the gun or in the spray gun. This is the high volume set up. The process requires no heating equipment.
For lower volumes of EonCoat, you can use a dual-component cartridge spray gun. We offer all EonCoat products in 600mL Cartridges (300mL part A & 300mL part B).

What Does The Certification Process Entail?
Training is at our facility or yours. We teach you how to use the equipment, the application process, and how to recognize proper EonCoat reactions. Experienced painters generally pick up the technique and understand the minor differences in a few minutes. We recommend one day of training to allow ample time to cover maintenance of the equipment, troubleshooting, and understanding the technology. EonCoat has a huge weather application window, generous surface prep allowances, and the ability to apply very thick coatings in one application. To be able to take full advantage of these features, it is useful for the applicator to understand why and how. If you are interested in becoming a Certified EonCoat Applicator Click Here.

If Overspray Happens On Adjacent Surfaces, Can It Be Easily Removed?
A small amount of overspray can be removed with a pressure washer. If a large amount has bonded, grit blasting might be necessary. Our training team will educate your staff on the process to minimize overspray.
Is Overspray A Problem?
EonCoat is classified as dry fall so material that doesn’t go directly onto the substrate immediately after leaving the spray gun will generally dry before it floats anywhere else.
How Should Left-Over EonCoat Be Disposed Of?
Mix equal amounts of part A with part B to get an inert ceramic rock (MgKPO4.2H2O) which can be disposed of anywhere you would dispose of rock or other inorganic materials.
