This 2-component epoxy primer for boats provides a strong and durable primer with effective protection for surfaces both above and below the waterline. The epoxy primer forms a robust and waterproof barrier that reduces water penetration and provides a solid base for subsequent painting, antifouling, and other surface treatments.
On fiberglass, the epoxy primer can be used as part of a protective treatment against water penetration and osmosis, while on steel and aluminum it provides effective protection against corrosion. The primer is also suitable for plywood and can therefore be used for a wide range of priming and repair tasks on boats.
Its excellent adhesion makes the epoxy primer suitable as an intermediate layer between the substrate and subsequent treatment. It can be applied by brush, roller, or spray and has a coverage of approximately 8.2 m² per liter, depending on the substrate and application method.
The epoxy primer can also be used as pretreatment before Hempel Silic One Tiecoat and integrated as part of the Hempel Silic One system buildup.
If thinning is required, use Hempel Thinner 845 (No. 5). On porous surfaces, the first coat can be thinned by up to 20% in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Always follow the current technical data sheet for mixing ratios, temperature, recoating intervals, and application.
