Product catalog summary
Product Description: SeaGuard MP Multi-Purpose Epoxy Primer is a high-performance, low VOC primer designed for various substrates. It contains anticorrosive pigment for non-iron/steel substrates, enhancing adhesion and dielectric properties with epoxy topcoats. Suitable for immersion service with recommended topcoats.
Product Characteristics: The primer has a flat finish and is yellow in color. It has 62% volume solids and 76% weight solids. The VOC content is less than 340 g/L. The mix ratio is 1:1 by volume. Recommended spreading rate is 5.0-7.0 wet mils and 3.0-4.0 dry mils per coat. Drying times vary with temperature, with a pot life of 8 hours at 50°F.
Recommended Uses: Suitable as a primer for stainless steel, aluminum, and galvanizing. Ideal for marine environments and as a primer under epoxy systems for tanks with fuel, brine, and non-potable water. Can be used on underwater aluminum hulls with recommended topcoats and antifouling coatings.
Performance Characteristics: The primer is abrasion, corrosion, and impact-resistant, with outstanding adhesion. It is compatible with multiple substrates, though epoxy coatings may darken or yellow over time.
Surface Preparation: Surfaces must be clean, dry, and sound. Specific preparation standards are provided for different materials, including iron, steel, galvanized steel, and aluminum. Detailed standards are listed for various conditions.
Application Conditions: The temperature range for application is 50°F to 100°F, with a maximum relative humidity of 85%. Detailed application equipment guidelines are provided, including airless spray, brush, and roller methods.
