HPE High performance High-build epoxy primer ±T!\ 09 The printing process may render some of the colour samples imperfectly. We recommend testing the paint before committing to a colour. HPE is a 2-part epoxy primer with a high built capacity providing outstanding adhesion and protection features over fibreglass or metal substrates. Easy to use, to apply and to sand, HPE can be applied in one thick layer as tie-coat to shape hulls and profiles. HPE has been developed for underwater applications : 1 layer for antifouling adhesion, 2 layers for protection against abrasion, and 5 layers to prevent osmosis on a clean hull. d=days h=hours min=minutes *Overcoating time recommended for 1 layer (120pm wet thickness) - Please refer to Application *If maximum overcoating time is exceeded, sand with 120 grade wet or dry paper Finish Mixing ratio (volume) Mixing ratio (weight) Coverage Flash point Unit size Typical shelf life Thinner/Cleaner Colours • GRP / Composite • Steel (for more details, please refer to our technical specifications for “Steel boat") • Aluminium (for more details, please refer to our technical specifications for “Aluminium boat") • Rigid wood (for more details, please refer to our technical specifications for “Wood boat") Technical recommendation On metal hull, it's recommended to apply this primer as soon as possible after having degreased and sanded the surface to get the best adhesion (for more details, please refer to our technical specifications for “steel" and “aluminium" boats) Important: 2-pack epoxy primer (hard finish) should not be used over any 1-pack product (soft finish). It's recommended to control humidity rate of the hull before application of several coats of primer. In case of doubts about old primer compatibility or quality, remove all the former primer. New hull (epoxy or GRP) • The surface should be degreased with Nautix SD and free of all contaminants (oil, grease, salt etc). • Rinse with fresh water and let dry. • Sand with P120 grade paper to improve adhesion of primer. • Ensure the substrate to be dried, degreased, and free of dust. Over antifouling or existing primer • Remove the old antifouling : - 1 to 3 coats : Nautix STRIPPER. - More than 4 coats : air-blasting, high-pressure water blasting or scraper • Check the condition of old primer : the former paint must not come unstuck from the support or must not crumble. Scrape with a brush to check support quality and remove any loosing paint • Surface must be degreased with Nautix SD and dust free • Rough sand with 120 grit to favour adherence • Ensure the substrate to be dried, degreased, and free of dust • Work in well-ventilated area (ensure adequate ventilation during use), wear suitable protective clothing, gloves, glasses and eye/face protection. Unprotected person must be kept away from treatment area. Dispose of protective gloves and equipment after use. • Read the label safety section for Health and Safety Information before application.

HPE High performance High-build epoxy primer Application methods : brush, roller, spray gun , airless. Apply between 10 and 30°C (ideally inside with hygrometry rate no greater than 85%). Whilst curing in high humidity conditions and at lower temperatures, epoxies can develop an ‘amine bloom’ on the surface. This slightly sticky substance must be removed with Nautix SD. Failure to remove the bloom will also make sanding more difficult. Do not apply when there is a chance of condensation forming on the substrate (Dew-Point) : substrate, ambient air and product temperatures must be close....
