Description

Two components, air drying, high build Epoxy primer. The product has the advantage of epoxy resin composition with specialty pigments, which facilitates one-coat, high build application for high performance. The product can be applied on minimum prepared surface and is designed to be completely wet and provide maximum intimacy with the substrate. Excellent adhesion is obtained on a variety of intact surfaces including over old coating and tightly adherent rust. With the high solids and less solvent content of the coating the risk of lifting, blistering, pin holing is reduced, and thus the risk of adhesion failure is minimized.

Recommended Use :-
It is recommended for steel structures in industrial plants, bridges, tank exteriors, oil tanks, pipes, marine atmosphere, cooling towers, etc. It has good resistance to spillage and fumes of acids, alkalis, fresh and salt water. Recommended as a primer on suitably cleaned mild steel surface in various Fertilizer units, Refineries, Chemical and other plants, Transportation industries, steel plants, cement plants, power plants, pulp and paper industries, pharmaceutical industries, etc. for application on tank exteriors, structural steel, pipelines, machineries, vessels, etc.

Surface Preparation
Abrasive blasting to Sa 21/2 Swedish Standards is the best method of surface preparation. In case blasting is not possible than manual cleaning by mechanical methods like wire brush, emery paper, hand / power tools, etc. to achieve St-2 / St-3 cleaning standards of Swedish specification. The surface should be free from moisture, oil, dust and dirt and should be absolutely dry before painting. Removal of loose rust is a must.
