Product Description
Epifanes Epoxy Primer, White, 2000ml (XPW.2000) is a tough, modern two‑component zinc‑phosphate epoxy primer formulated for use above and below the waterline. It offers excellent filling properties, strong adhesion, fast drying, and easy sanding.
This primer provides outstanding rust protection on steel, deep penetration and sealing on wood, and superior adhesion and osmotic protection on fiberglass (FRP). With sufficient film build, Epifanes Epoxy Primer can fully seal a surface against water intrusion and delivers excellent scratch resistance above the waterline.
Epifanes Epoxy Primer is unique in that it is recoatable with both one‑component and two‑component Epifanes paints, making it ideal for new construction, repair, and maintenance of existing epoxy systems.
Package includes 1600ml Component A and 400ml Component B for a total mixed volume of 2000ml. Download the technical data sheet here.
