Applications and use cases
- Exterior wood structures: Topcoat for doors, trims, rails and other wooden elements exposed to the weather.
- Exterior steel surfaces: Finish coat over compatible primer systems on structural steel, fabricated items and general steelwork.
- Maintenance painting: Can be applied over sound existing coatings after proper cleaning and surface preparation.
- Marine and industrial environments: For professional coating work where a durable, sprayable alkyd finish is required on external areas.
FAQ
-
On which substrates can EVAMARINE be used?
It is recommended as a finishing coat on exterior wood and steel surfaces, applied over suitable primers such as ROSWAN QD HB or BANNOH 200.
-
Can it be applied over an existing coating?
Yes. The technical information indicates that EVAMARINE can be applied over existing paint layers, provided the surface is clean, sound and properly prepared.
-
Which application methods are recommended?
Airless spray is the primary method, but brush and roller application are also allowed. When using brush or roller, additional coats may be necessary to reach the specified dry film thickness.
-
What thinner should be used?
Use MARINE THINNER, with typical thinning between 0% and 7% by volume depending on air temperature and application method.
-
What are the minimum application conditions?
The surface temperature should be at least -5 °C or higher, maximum relative humidity 85%, and at least 3 °C above the dew point.
-
How long should I wait before overcoating?
At 20 °C the minimum overcoating interval is about 16 hours; at lower temperatures, the interval is longer (up to 120 hours at -5 °C). No maximum interval is specified.
-
Is EVAMARINE a single-component or two-component paint?
It is a one-pack (single-component) alkyd finish paint.
-
Does the product have any important safety hazards?
It is classified as a flammable liquid (Category 3). Vapours may cause drowsiness or dizziness, and repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking.
-

Section 8 – Individual protection measures
Exposure controls and personal protection
- Engineering controls: Ensure adequate ventilation using local exhaust and general extraction. If solvent vapour and particulates cannot be kept below occupational exposure limits, suitable respiratory protection must be worn.
- Respiratory protection: When required, use a respirator to EN 140 fitted with a combined particulate and vapour filter in accordance with EN 14387, with an assigned protection factor of at least 10 (for example A2P3). In spray booths where ventilation is insufficient, a compressed air-fed respirator may be necessary.
- Hand protection:
- Use chemical-resistant gloves tested to EN 374.
- For repeated or prolonged contact, recommended materials include polyethylene (PE), PVA and butyl/Viton gloves, with specified minimum thicknesses (e.g. PE 0.062 mm, PVA 0.2–0.3 mm, butyl/Viton 0.70 mm).
- Nitrile gloves provide good protection during spray application.
- Gloves should be inspected regularly and replaced at the first sign of damage.
- Eye/face protection: Use safety eyewear to EN 16321 / EN 166 designed to protect against liquid splashes.
- Skin and body protection: Wear antistatic protective clothing made from natural fibres or high-temperature-resistant synthetic fibres (EN ISO 13688). Avoid contaminated rags or clothing; these may self-ignite and must be stored and disposed of safely.
- Hygiene measures: Avoid skin and eye contact and inhalation of vapours, mists or sanding dust. Do not eat, drink or smoke in the application area. Wash hands and exposed skin with soap and water after use; do not use solvents or thinners for skin cleaning.
- Environmental protection: Prevent product and cleaning residues from entering drains or watercourses.
