TowerPlex Acrylic Bonding Primer - 5 Gallon Pail

TowerPlex Acrylic Bonding Primer is a 100% pure acrylic emulsion DTM primer that develops barrier corrosion resistance, normally associated only with solvent-borne primers. This product offers excellent adhesion to various substrates such as structural steel, aluminum, galvanize, concrete, masonry, and wood.

Finish:
Low Sheen

Surface Preparation:
Apply only over clean, dry and properly cured surfaces that are free of cutting solutions, form release agents, dirt, loose foreign matter and moisture. On structural steel, the substrate shall be thoroughly degreased in accordance with SSPC-SP1 standards. All burrs should be removed and sharp edges or rough weld seams should be ground down. All rust and mill scale should be removed as required by SSPC-SP6 surface preparation (minimum). For bridge construction, SSPC-SP5 is recommended.

Thinning: Thin with water.

Surface Temperature:

• Minimum 50 F         
• Maximum 90 F
• Application Equipment:
• Airless Spray
• Pressure: 1800-2400 psi

Application Considerations:
Spray recommended. Do not apply when overnight freeze, rain or dew is forecast. NOTE: During Conditions of high humidity or moist air, allow for a much longer cure time. Warm air, moving over the substrate, will promote drying and improve cure time when less than optimum application conditions exist. When applying this coating by roller application, extra attention to detail is necessary to avoid pinholes.
