Air-drying 2-pack high-performance epoxy primer for metal

Overcoatable, features great corrosion resistance, for high-performance outdoor coating systems.

Colours

Usually comes in white, black and grey. However, you can order custom colours or colours from international colour charts.

Uses

Used almost exclusively as an adhesion-promoting primer and corrosion inhibitor.

The extensive field of application includes:

• cars and motorcycles: chassis, frames, engine and transmission parts, axles, rims and other parts
• marine: structures and frames, panelling, stairs, trimmings, engine parts and other metalwork, offshore structures
• industry: structural metalwork for use in the chemical and petrochemical industry, farm equipment and industrial machinery
• construction: various structures and metalwork

Performance

Its main features can be summed up as follows:

• extremely high level of adhesion
• excellent anticorrosive properties certified by the manufacturer
• superior elasticity and chemical resistance
• excellent overcoatability
• good topcoat for interior use only

Treatment of surfaces to be coated

The metal’s preparation is of paramount importance in this case. Surfaces must be checked thoroughly to ensure they are clean and good quality, abrasive blasting, brushing or sanding to promote the coating’s adhesion, especially when dealing with metals that have a very smooth and reflective surface finish.

A thorough clean, taking care to remove all dirt, grease and dust, is usually more than enough to ensure good adhesion.

Application

Apply by airmix or airless spraying, using spray guns with nozzles measuring between 1.2 and 2.0 mm and air pressure set to 3-4 bar.

The thickness of the coating to be applied is 30 microns minimum, though this can be increased to 80-plus microns where greater anticorrosive properties are required.

Dries naturally at ambient temperature in approx. 30-40 minutes.

Wait at least 2 hours once dry before applying a second coat or overcoating with other finishes.

It can also be applied by roller or brush, but only where a high standard of finish is not required.
