Sherwin Williams Macropoxy M902 - Formerly Leighs Epigrip M902
Sherwin Williams Macropoxy M902 - Formerly Leighs Epigrip M902 is an epoxy MIO surface tolerant epoxy for low temperature curing on Network Rail, TfL or Ministry of Defence use. M24, XM92/M21/160, Item 115. Paint Systems.
Best Uses
Macropoxy M902 is suitable for new works above and below ground due to its 0°C low temperature curing. Part of the M24, XM92/M21/160, Item 115. Paint Systems. Macropoxy M902 is suitable for maintenance in harsh, cold environments where rapid overcoating and faster handling times are required. Suitable for atmospherically exposed surfaces, but not recommended for exposure to severe chemical environments.
- Certified for Network Rail and TfL use.
Macropoxy M902 has been used to success at St Pancras International Station, Earls Court Station and Tower Bridge. Suitable for use on carbon steel and stainless steel as a primer, sealer / tie coat or intermediate paint.
Application
Manually prepare surfaces to a minimum standard of St3 BS EN ISO 8501-1:2007 at the time of coating. Ensure all surfaces to be coated are clean and free from all surface contamination for application onto damp surfaces.
It is possible to apply Macropoxy M902 onto a damp substrate by brush application. If this is to be done, ensure there is no running water or pooled water on the substrate.
Recommended for application by airless spray onto blast cleaned surfaces, or via brush or roller. If applying by brush, apply onto hand or mechanically prepared surfaces and/or gingered surfaces, giving excellent wetting and adhesion characteristics. When low temperature curing is required or rapid overcoating, apply via spray to blast cleaned surfaces. Recommended Thinner No5 for thinning, or No9 / No13 for cleaning. Macropoxy M902 is compatible with Transgard TG115.

- Approved by MoD/DRA (Ministry of Defence) to Def Stan 80-134
- LuL APR No.286: M24 Paint System for Maintenance Steel for application to bridges and structures, including structures in below ground locations, to provide corrosion protection for a 25 Year service life. Complies with LU Standard 1-085'Fire Safety Performance of Materials'. M24 is a protective treatment for use on steel structures coated with sound aged alkyd paints where the existing paint cannot totally be removed. The coatings are surface tolerant and are suitable for application to abrasive blast-cleaned surfaces, hand or power tool cleaned surfaces and sound, aged alkyd paints. This paint system is a winter grade that can be used in cold conditions, slightly above freezing.
