Epoxy Clear Primer
THE RANGE OF APPLICATION: The system recommended for application on steel, concrete structure exposed to chemical and industrial environment in refineries, petrochemicals, paper and pulp plants, food and pharmaceutical units, and fertilizer industries. This product can be applied on floor for protection from saline and chemicals.This product is recommended for use in sea weather (Coastal Areas).
KEY PROPERTIES OF SYSTEM:
1. The ability to be cured rapidly or slowly over wide range of temperature. Cold curing and baking both are possible.
2. Low shrinkage during cure.
3. Excellent adhesion to many different substrates.
4. High level of mechanical strength, which is retained at, elevated temperatures.
5. Outstanding toughness and good flexibility.
6. Excellent solvent, Acid and Alkali resistance. Excellent water and alcohol resistance, salty water resistance. (Not recommended for immersion)
7. Unaffected by Oil and Grease, detergents.
8. Good electrical properties.
9. The System is suitable for Food & Pharma packaging industry.

Application - Before application of Epoxy EP FL Clear Primer do all necessary pretreatment of the job. For M. S. surface, remove grease oil and other contamination by using proper degreasing agent. Blast clean the surface for heavy rusting or remove with de-rusting chemicals to clean the surface. For old concrete surfaces, remove all salt deposition/fungal growth, loosely bound coatings, and dust particles and make the surface rough. Also for new concrete coating do the needful pretreatment, then Use Epoxy EP Fl Clear Primer. Stir the base component thoroughly and mix two parts of base and one part of hardener by volume to uniform consistency. Allow it for intermediate reaction for few min for stabilization and stir again before use. Make required viscosity as per application method with TC/EP-102 Thinner.
The pot lifetime is only limited so mix the materials as per requirement. Close the containers immediately, to avoid the chances of moisture absorption in material and solvent losses. Do not apply in humid condition, during raining or mist and fog or at very low temperature below 10°-12° C.
