Features & Benefits


  • For professional use only
  • For new build
  • Functions as a zinc-rich epoxy featuring a higher mechanical strength
  • Recommended as a versatile primer for long-term protection of steel in severely corrosive environments
  • Reduces the effect of corrosion and provides very good galvanic protection
  • Fast drying primer with short minimum overcoating intervals
  • Excellent mechanical strength, also in cyclic temperatures, with improved tolerance to high film thickness through high flexibility and self-healing effect
  • Superior tolerance to high relative humidity during application
  • Cures down to -10°C
  • Service temperature up to 160°C (dry exposure)
  • Apply with brush/roller, air spray or airless spray. Nozzle pressure: 220 bar [3200 psi] Nozzle orifice: 0.017-0.021"

If brush or roller application is used, more coats will be necessary to achieve the specified dry film thickness. Spray data are indicative and subject to adjustment. Pressure is for a material temperature of 20°C.

Product may be specified in another film thickness than indicated depending on purpose and area of use. This will alter spreading rate, drying and curing time and overcoating interval. For best performance, avoid excessive film thickness. Overthickness should be closely controlled and never locally exceed 100 micron [3.9 mils] DFT. On irregular surfaces it is recommended to employ special care in avoiding over application.
