ARMEPOX® PRIMER 041 UHS

Two‑component epoxy coating with high solids content, providing reliable anticorrosion protection for metal structures. Contains zinc phosphate, suitable for new constructions where minimizing coverage time and accelerating subsequent work is important. Can be used as a primer‑finish coating or intermediate layer in protective coating systems on thoroughly prepared carbon steel surfaces. Application is permitted at sub‑zero temperatures down to −10 °C.

Application area:

  • Anticorrosion protection of metal structures, buildings and facilities.
  • Use in civil construction, petrochemical complex, transport construction.
  • Effective in various corrosion environments: C2–C5 (ISO 12944-2), HA1–HA3 (CN 2.01.07-2020).

  • High dry residue – reliable corrosion protection.

  • Fast‑drying – minimizes recoat time and speeds up subsequent work.

  • Contains zinc phosphate – effective anti‑corrosion protection for carbon steel.

  • Universal application – primer or intermediate layer in protective coating systems.

  • Operation at low temperatures – application permissible down to −10 °C.

  • Thixotropic viscosity – prevents sagging and ensures uniform coating.

  • High adhesion – reliable bonding to metal surface and existing coating.

  • Suitable for various corrosive environments – C2–C5 (ISO 12944-2), HA1–HA3 (CH 2.01.07-2020).
