Two component epoxy zinc-rich and solvent free primer
Vetoprime EP390 is a two-component solvent-free epoxy modified with zinc to provide the highest protection against corrosion of steel. It is a specialty industrial primer for the Vetorep and Vetotop product range, its applied on prepared concrete and cementitious substrates to seal the substrate and enhance bonding with topcoats. The product can be used as a stand-alone product in internal applications as a seal coat to harden cementitious surfaces and prevent dusting. Vetoprime EP390 has sealing properties making it ideal for concrete substrates.
- Easily applied by brush, roller, or spray.
- Versatile with applications in a large number of coating materials and sealants.
- Can be applied on damp concrete.
- High wetting properties.
- Damp tolerant.
- Perfect for use with epoxy, urethane repairs, screeds, and self smoothening toppings.
- Prevents corrosion and rust of rebars and steel reinforcement.
- Cost effective, suitable for use in MENA region conditions.
Vetoprime EP390 is supplied in 4 Liter kits, coverage: 28 - 40 m2 /Kit
Stated consumptions data are for general guidance. Actual consumption depends on the nature of the substrate, method of application, and wastage.
Original sealed containers of Vetoprime EP390 have a shelf life of 12 months provided it is stored clear of ground in a dry shaded place below 35ºC.
General Applications
- Priming of joint edges to receive urethane, epoxy, and polyurea based sealants.
- Priming of concrete slabs and walls to receive solvent free epoxy, urethane, MMA, polyurea, hybrid coatings, screeds, and self smoothening toppings.
- Priming of concrete substrates to receive epoxy and urethane based repair mortars.
- Priming of cementitious screeds to receive epoxy, urethane, and resinous toppings.
- Priming of steel substrates
Priming
Mix Vetoprime EP390 as supplied. Add the entire content of the hardener container to the base container and mix thoroughly for about 2 minutes. Once mixed, apply Vetoprime EP390 in a thin continuous film by using stiff brushes or rollers. Avoid over-application and puddles.
Allow Vetoprime EP390 to become tack-free prior to the application of epoxy coating (unless otherwise specified) but well within the open time specified for the given temperature.
The hotter the substrate, the more quickly the primer will become dry.
Cleaning
Clean all tools and equipment immediately after use with Vetonit Solvent XX400.
It is essential that Vetoprime EP390 is applied to a sound, clean, and dry surface in order to achieve maximum bond strength between substrate and coating/repair products.
Concrete Substrates
Should be at least 28 days old and relative humidity of the concrete is 75% or below. Laitance deposits on new concrete are best removed by light grit blasting, mechanical scrabbling, or grinding.
Where heavy contamination by oil and grease has occurred or existing coatings are present, it is essential that all contaminations are removed.
Some people are sensitive to epoxy resins; so gloves and a barrier cream shall be used when handling these products. If contact with the resin occurs, it must be removed, before if hardens, with a resin removing cream follow by washing with soap and water. Do not use solvent.
During use, avoid inhalation of solvent and contact with skin and eyes. Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves, eye protection, and respiratory protective equipment. In case of contact with the eye, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water, and seek medical advice. If swallowed, seek medical attention immediately – do not induce vomiting.
Vetoprime EP390 is non-flammable.
