Asian Epoxy Zinc Phosphate Primer
Asian Epoxy Zinc Phosphate Primer
Asian Epoxy Zinc Phosphate Primer
Product Description
Two component, high build polyamide cured epoxy primer with zinc phosphate pigment
Technical Data
The data given is for guideline only. The physical values are subject to normal manufacturing tolerances, colour and testing variances
The volume solids indicated are as per ASTM D 2697 air drying method.
The actual drying time/ overcoat interval may be shorter or longer, depending on film thickness, ventilation, humidity, temperature etc.
The information provided above is at 30°C and 65% relative humidity.
Surface Preparation
General
• Surfaces must be dry, clean and free from contaminants
• Ensure removal of dirt, dust, oil and all other contaminants that could interfere with adhesion of the coating. Oil
and grease should be removed as per SSPC-SP1 solvent cleaning with aromatic solvents.
• Surface should be checked and treated in accordance with ISO 8504 prior to priming
Blast Cleaning
• Steel, abrasive blast clean to min. Sa 2 1/2 (ISO 8501-1: 200) or SSPC –SP6. Incase oxidation has occurred between
blasting and application of Apcodur HB Red Oxide Zinc Phosphate Primer, the surface should be reblasted.
• Steel, if blast cleaning is impractical remove the loose rust/scale using power tool to achieve St3 grade of
surface preparation as per Swedish standards.
• Substrate temperature should be at least 3°C above dew point but not above 50°C.
• Relative humidity should be below 85%
• Good ventilation is required in confined areas to ensure proper curing
Mixing
• Asian Epoxy Zinc Phosphate Primer is supplied in two packs. Stir the base and hardener separately. If settling is
observed in the base or hardener, loosen the settled material with the help of hand stirrer followed by power driven
stirrer (at lower RPM) for quick homogenous mixing.
• Mix hardener gradually into the base under continuous stirring as per the mixing ratio. Once the unit has been
mixed, it should be consumed within the working pot life. In case of part mixing (which should be avoided), close
the lids of containers tightly to avoid contact with atmospheric moisture.
• Thinner should be added after mixing the components and post the induction time. Addition of too much thinner will
lead to reduced sag resistance.

INFORMATION
SAFETY INFORMATION
• As a general safety measure, inhalation of solvent vapours or paint mist and contact of liquid paint with skin
& eyes, should be avoided. Forced ventilation should be provided when applying paint in confined spaces or
stagnant air. Even when ventilation is provided, respiratory, skin and eye protection are always recommended
when spraying paint.
