Product Data
- Formulated for direct-to-metal application with excellent substrate wetting while retaining excellent edge coverage
- Exceptional corrosion protection in salt and fresh water immersion and corrosive chemical environments
- Surface tolerant, lowers the cost of surface preparation
- Excellent adhesion to tight rust
- Compatible with water jetted or hand and power tool cleaned surfaces.
- Low temperature cure down to 0°F (-18°C) without additives or alternate curing agents
- Fast dry-to-recoat and rapid handling properties
- High-build (up to 12 mils) in one coat
- Abrasion resistant
Very low solvent content meets VOC requirements, reduces the risk of pinholing and solvent entrapment at the substratecoating interface, often a major cause of coating failure with conventional epoxies and lower solids systems.
