EPOXY-BASED PAINTS
BRIEN EXPOXY ANTI-RUST PRIMER
Two-component epoxy zinc-rich primer with excellent adhesion on shot blasted iron or steel substrates. It offers high performance corrosion protection, and produces a film that is resistant to abrasion, chemicals and moisture. It is especially designed for the severely corrosive environments with high relative humidity, high salinity, and aggressive atmospheres faced by marine and offshore assets, such as coastal power plants, bridges, oil refineries/ platforms and mining machinery.
Has excellent sealing properties and highly alkali-resistant, chromate and lead free.
Excellent for commercial and residential application. This Zinc Rich Epoxy Primer must be recoated with primer or Topcoat.
SURFACE PREPARATION
NEW CONCRETE, MASONRY AND STUCCO
- Allow new concrete, masonry and stucco to cure for 28 days.
- All surfaces should be sound, clean, dry and free from loose and flaking material, dust, dirt, oil, efflorescence, and other contaminants.
OLD CONCRETE
- Remove loose and flaking material on previously painted surfaces.
- Sand old paint in good condition, and then dust off before repainting.
- All structural defects such as cracks, faulty construction joints, pinholes, honeycombs or any part of concrete surfaces should be treated properly prior to application.
WOOD
- Surface to be painted should be clean, dry, free from dust, dirt and other foreign matter.
- Hammer all nails deep enough prior to application.
- Sand rough wood until smooth, then dust off.
- If repainting, first remove all blistering, peeling and scaling paint by wire brushing or using thinner. Clean thoroughly prior to painting.
METAL
- Wipe the surface with rag soaked in paint thinner to remove dust, dirt, grease, oil, wax and other foreign matter that may contaminate the paint.
- If repainting, wire brush or scrape rusted metals. Let it stay for 10-15 minutes. Be sure to wash off surface thoroughly with water, let it dry before applying paint.
APPLICATION
- Brien Anti-Rust (Zn-rich) Epoxy Primer is supplied in pre-measured packs. With the aid of electric drill equipped with propeller blade, mix the two components by adding epoxy catalyst (Component B) to epoxy base (Component A) until a complete uniform color is obtained.
- Allow 24 hours curing time before the surfaces are subjected to stresses.
- Prepare enough amount that can be use within the pot life so as to avoid hardening of the mixed material during application..
- Mixed material can be thinned with not more than 3 liters of Brien epoxy reducer .
- CAUTION:
- Using mineral spirits, turpentine, oil-based solvents, or alcohol to thin Brien Anti-Rust (Zn-rich) Epoxy Primer can lead to poor adhesion of the paint to substrate and may even peel off after drying.
