Generic Type Epoxy Phenalkamine

Description

An all-purpose immersion-grade epoxy that has a variety of attributes including low-temperature
cure, surface tolerance, fast recoat times, moisture tolerance during application and cure, and
excellent corrosion protection. Can be used direct to metal as a corrosion resistant primer,
an intermediate coating over itself and many other primers, and can be used as a finish coat.
Suitable for both maintenance and new construction projects due to its excellent surface wetting
characteristics and quick cure for handling. May also be used for immersion in fresh or salt water
(marine) exposures. Meets IMO performance for ballast tanks for marine vessels.
