High-performance anti-corrosion epoxy zinc-filled primer is used in coating systems for the protection against corrosion of metal structures, bridges, pipelines, machinery, equipment, and railway, marine, and river transport. Steel sheets that are coated with protective primer can be welded.

Serves as a primary primer in anti-corrosion protection systems according to ISO 12944-5:2018.

Designed for priming metal with a long service life. Has increased adhesion to metal surfaces.

Can be applied by air and airless spraying, as well as with a roller and brush.

Recommended for initial and repair painting with a long service life of rolling stock, automotive transport, agricultural machinery, painting bridges, steel and reinforced concrete structures, tanks, equipment for the chemical and petrochemical industries, port and waterfront facilities, marine and river vessels.

Requirements for the substrate

The metal surface must be dry, cleaned of rust, debris, dust, grease, and other contaminants that may act as separators. If necessary, the substrate should be treated by sandblasting or shot blasting to a degree of Sa 2-2.5 (ISO 8501-1:2007). After cleaning, the steel or galvanized surface must be dusted and degreased.

Application

Before application, after mixing the components, the primer should be thoroughly mixed for at least 5 minutes until a homogeneous consistency appears. Apply to the prepared substrate by air or airless spraying, with a brush, or roller. To achieve the required working viscosity of the material, the addition of the mixing solvent Defens is possible. The surface to be painted should be dry and have a temperature at least 3 °C above the dew point. The recommended number of layers is 1-2. Control of the work performance should be carried out according to the standard ISO 12944-7:2017.

During the work process, it is necessary to mix the mixture every 30-45 minutes to avoid material delamination.

Packaging and storage

The material is stored in tightly closed containers, protecting it from moisture and direct sunlight, away from heat sources, at a temperature of 0 to +30°C. The warranty storage period is 12 months from the date of manufacture without violating storage conditions. Minor delamination is allowed during prolonged storage, which does not affect the quality of the material.

Cleaning of tools

Working tools and equipment should be rinsed with solvent R-4 immediately after use.
