Using Epoxy Primers for longer paint life on Frangible
Towers
Have you ever seen a non-porous finish on a tower or any
frangible structure? Well, that's the work done by an Epoxy primer. It is a
sealer that is primarily recommended as the first base coat over any bare
frangible structure. For that matter, Epoxy primers can be used over plastic,
black iron, and fiberglass, etc. for coating.
Key attractions of Epoxy primers
Epoxy primers are widely used due to
- Strong adhesion
- Mechanical ability
- Durable nature
- Substrate penetration
- Lower Viscosity
- Elimination power for air bubbles and pinhole
- Chemical resistance for humid and aqueous environments
- Corrosion resistance
- Moisture tolerance
- Thin-film build-up
- Damp-proof membrane
Epoxy primers have excellent adhesion and can be used for
- All bare composite material surfaces
- Coat metal containers like those containing acidic food
- Waterproof materials to protect from oxidation
- Due to high-build thickness thus they are recommended for
external environments with an application of one or two coats
How to apply Epoxy primer?
Primarily, a very clean and dry surface is needed for
applying epoxy primer. Since epoxy primer acts as a sealer thus it produces an
excellent surface finish on the application of the right number of coats. For
your information, a corrosion-resisting pigment is present in the two-part
epoxy primer in the form of zinc phosphate so ensure that you get a latest
dated manufactured product. Since a two-part epoxy primer needs two components
that are cured chemically through cross-linking so mix the two-part epoxy
primer thoroughly before applying. This two-part epoxy primer leads to the
generation of a film or coat which is completely resistant to moisture,
abrasion, and any other chemicals.
Quality assurance from SGS Frangible for longer paint
life by using epoxy primers on its frangible towers
With formulations penetrating deeper into the pores of
the substrate, SGS Frangible uses epoxy primer on frangible towers and other
composite structures to achieve a better mechanical bond. It is ensured that
their adhesion comes out to be greater than the topcoat for longer paint life
due to the inclusion of adhesion promoters.
Furthermore, specialist primers are used on composite
structures to cope with a range of situations from rising damp to dust,
unstable substrates to oily surfaces, and so on. Due to the penetration
capabilities of professionally formulated primers for frangible towers and
other composite structures of SGS Frangible, a superb chemical bond with the
subsequent topcoat gets generated.
With all the benefits that can be gained from using an
epoxy primer on frangible towers and poles, we assure you of the best adhesion,
a durable and long-lasting investment.
