Rust-Oleum 9180 Epoxy Metal Primer is a high build metal primer based on two-component epoxy resins offer extra protection against corrosion on bare or blasted metal.

Recommended Use

Grey Primer 9180 should be used on bare steel, on blasted steel and properly prepared galvanized substrates or as an intermediate coat. 9180 Primer can be recoated with 9100 Topcoats assuring the appropriate protection against corrosion, strong chemicals, acids, alkalis and solvents; frequent product spillage and frequent chemical cleaning; high humidity and moist conditions. 

Features

• High build primer for optimal opacity with topcoat 9100
• Touch dry after just 1 hour
• Contains a high amount of rust inhibitors
• Easy to apply by brush, roller or spray
• Easy 1:1 mixing ratio

Surface Preparation

Remove grease, oil and all other surface contaminations by alkaline or high pressure (steam) cleaning in combination with appropriate detergents. For optimum results remove rust, rust scale, mill scale and deteriorated coatings by abrasive blasting to Sa 2½ (ISO 8501-01 :1988), blast profile max. 50 µm. Salts, "white rust" (on galvanised steel), etc. should be removed by washing with Surfa-Etch 108 Etching Solution or by sweep blasting. Sand previous coatings, which are in good condition to remove gloss and to roughen the surface slightly, check compatibility. From surfaces to be submerged all previous coatings should be removed by abrasive blasting to Sa 3 (ISO 8501-1 : 1988), blast profile max. 50µm. New concrete should cure and dry for at least 30 days prior to application of the coating. The surface must be clean and dry during application
