Applications

BestPrimer EP602 has low viscosity and high penetration, so it is used to create an interface primer between surfaces to be protected and epoxy-based Epoline protective paints, increasing adhesion strength.

BestPrimer EP602 can be applied to concrete floors and bases, cement render, fiber-cement cladding panels, epoxy mortar, etc., for factories, warehouses, parking garages, etc.

Advantages

  • High penetration, providing durable bonding.

  • Good adhesion to common construction surfaces, including metal.

  • Usable on high-moisture surfaces (relative humidity up to 8%).

  • Allows the surface to release moisture during curing.

  • High resistance to alkalis, aggressive corrosion and chemicals.

  • Easy to apply with tools such as brushes, rollers and pressure spray guns, etc.

  • Long workable time, easy to apply and material-saving.

  • Environmentally friendly.

Application instruction

Surface preparation:

  • If the substrate is concrete, compressive strength ≥ 20 MPa, tensile strength ≥ 1.5 MPa. The base surface must be flat, dense and dry. Cracks and defective spots must be treated, repaired and patched according to the proper procedure. Impurities, debris, dust and grease, etc. must be completely removed.

Coating system:

  • For highly absorbent and friable surfaces, add 10% clean water by weight for the first coat and apply at least 2 primer coats before applying BestCoat-line epoxy paints.

  • For flat, dense surfaces with medium roughness, only one coat of BestPrimer EP602 is needed after the surface has been cleaned by suitable means.

  • For surfaces previously treated with a power-floated hardener, treat the surface with BestClean FA or roughen it before applying BestPrimer EP602.

Mixing:

  • Add component A into component B at the specified ratio. Use an electric mixer or a dedicated mixing machine (300 to 400 rpm) to mix for about 3 minutes or longer until homogeneous. Let the material stand for about 05 minutes and re-mix before application.

Application:

  • Use a brush, short-nap roller or pressure spray gun to apply BestPrimer EP602 evenly over the entire surface to be coated at a rate of 0.10 ÷ 0.25 kg/m²/coat. When applying the second primer coat or subsequent finish coats, ensure the first coat is fully surface-dry (not tacky).

Notes:

  • Do not exceed an application rate of 0.40 kg/m² in any case.

  • The work area must be well-ventilated and protected from rain until the material is fully cured.

  • Do not use material that has exceeded its allowable working time.

Cleaning:

  • Use clean water and soap to wash tools before the material cures.

Safety guidance:

  • Both components are non-hazardous and non-flammable but may cause irritation to sensitive skin. Wear gloves, a mask and safety goggles during application.

  • If splashed into the eyes, nose or mouth, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water several times before going to the nearest medical facility for timely and proper treatment.
