Resincoat Epoxy Primer

Description

Resincoat Epoxy Primer is a high-quality epoxy primer that serves as a sturdy base for various surfaces, boasting strong adhesion due to its low viscosity, solvent-free composition. With an industrial twin pack formulation, it prepares surfaces effectively for Resincoat Epoxy Floor Paint application, offering both sealing and a smooth base coat. This primer’s benefits encompass enhanced paint-substrate bonding, moisture protection, and improved final coat coverage.

Using Resincoat Epoxy Primer before applying Resincoat Epoxy Floor Paints is crucial for three key reasons. It establishes a robust bond that prevents peeling, making it suitable for high-traffic areas. Additionally, it guards against moisture infiltration, particularly important in environments vulnerable to water damage. Lastly, the primer ensures a polished base for the top coat, resulting in a professional appearance and reinforced defence against wear and tear.
