About Epoxy Primer
- It penetrates into the capillaries present in the concrete & seals them
- It can be applied on fresh, moist or damp, as well as old concrete
- Improves strength of fresh concrete surface by about 10%
- Excellent adhesion with water based Epoxy and solvent free Epoxy/ Polyurethane top coat and concrete
- Eco-friendly, being water based formulation
Superior Chemical ResistanceEpoxy Primer stands out for its outstanding resilience against salts, acids, and alkalis, making it ideal for environments exposed to harsh chemicals. This property ensures long-lasting substrate protection, minimizing maintenance and increasing the lifespan of surfaces where it is applied.
Exceptional AdhesionEngineered for superior adhesion, this primer bonds securely to a wide range of substratesincluding metals and concrete. Proper surface preparation is critical: ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from contaminants to maximize bonding performance and durability.
Extended Pot Life and Safe HandlingWith a pot life of 45 hours at 25C, the Epoxy Primer provides ample time for professional application, reducing wastage and improving workflow. The flash point above 25C adds another layer of safety for users during mixing and application.
FAQs of Epoxy Primer:
Q: How should the surface be prepared before applying Epoxy Primer?
A: Before applying the epoxy primer, ensure that the surface is clean, dry, and free of contaminants such as oil, dust, or loose particles. Proper surface preparation is essential for achieving optimal adhesion and long-term performance.
Q: What are the key benefits of using Epoxy Primer with low VOC content?
A: Low VOC content reduces environmental impact and improves safety for applicators. Additionally, it contributes to better indoor air quality and compliance with environmental regulations.
Q: When is the recommended time frame for using the primer after mixing?
A: The pot life of Epoxy Primer is 4 to 5 hours at 25C. It should be applied within this period to ensure effective adhesion and coating performance.
Q: Where can Epoxy Primer be used considering its heat resistance?
A: With heat resistance up to 120C, Epoxy Primer is suitable for use on surfaces that are exposed to moderate temperatures, such as industrial floors, machinery, pipelines, and storage tanks.
Q: What process should be followed when thinning Epoxy Primer?
A: Epoxy Thinner is recommended for thinning. Add the thinner gradually while stirring, until the desired consistency is achieved. Always follow manufacturers guidelines for the correct ratio to maintain product integrity.
Q: How does Epoxy Primer benefit industrial and commercial applications in chemical environments?
A: Due to its superior chemical resistance to salts, acids, and alkalis, Epoxy Primer protects surfaces from corrosion and chemical damage, making it ideal for warehouses, factories, laboratories, and other facilities handling aggressive substances.
Q: What are the optimal storage conditions for Epoxy Primer?
A: Epoxy Primer should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat to maintain its quality and extend shelf life.
