Epoxy primer is a coating composed of epoxy resin and hardener, which is widely used in the surface treatment of various substrates to improve adhesion and durability. Here are some of the key features and functions of epoxy primers:
- Excellent Adhesion: Epoxy primers form good mechanical bonds with a variety of substrates such as metal, concrete, wood and plastic, ensuring strong adhesion to subsequent coatings.
- Corrosion resistance: It has good corrosion resistance, especially suitable for metal surfaces, and can effectively prevent rust and oxidation.
- Chemical Stability: Resists a wide range of chemicals (e.g., solvents, acids, bases), making epoxy primers suitable for use in industrial environments and chemical treatment facilities.
- Abrasion Resistance: Provides good abrasion resistance, can withstand certain mechanical impact and abrasion, and is suitable for the protection of ground and heavy-duty equipment.
- Moisture Resistance: Epoxy primers also work well in wet environments, preventing moisture from penetrating and damaging the substrate.
- Fast curing: Epoxy primers usually have a faster curing time, which can speed up the application schedule and reduce waiting time.
- Mold & Algae Resistant: Some epoxy primer formulations also have anti-mildew and algae properties and are suitable for use in humid environments such as sinks and bathrooms.
- Multiple Applications: Commonly used in industrial and commercial fields, such as ships, automobiles, steel structures, chemical facilities, floor coating, etc.
