Description
Silkon Zink Primer is supplied as a two component system based on metallic zinc and epoxy resin which on mixing gives a grey colored liquid. One or two coats of Silkon Zink Primer are generally required, dependent largely on the nature and profile of the substrate. Silkon Zink Primer is recoatable generally between 30 minutes and one hour after the application of first coat. Application of top coat may also proceed at this time. At elevated temperatures, the recoatable
and overlay times will be reduced. The minimum application temperature for Silkon Zink Primer is 100 C. The local Silkon office may be consulted for further information.
