Description
Two Pack High Build Epoxy Zinc Phosphate Primer is a premium anti-corrosive primer designed specifically for metal fabrications that require exceptional adhesion and chemical resistance. This high-performance epoxy primer is ideal for industrial applications, providing reliable protection in challenging environments.
Formulated to offer excellent adhesion to a variety of metal surfaces, this primer creates a strong foundation for subsequent coatings, enhancing durability and longevity. Its high build formulation ensures a robust barrier against moisture, rust, and other corrosive elements, making it perfect for both marine applications and heavy-duty industrial settings.
Important Notice:
Do not apply two pack epoxy paint in temperatures below 10 degrees Celsius, as the cross-linking of the paint and catalyst will not occur, preventing the coating from fully drying.
It is also essential to remember that two pack epoxy paints cannot be applied over existing single pack paints, as they will react with them.

Application
Before starting, have your PPE ready, as our paint will not wash off easily with soap and water.
Ensure you have good ventilation to allow vapour to escape; ventilation is also necessary to maintain drying times. Without air movement, the coating won’t dry properly.
Painting Bare Metal:
Step 1 - Prep: Ensure the substrate is completely dry and free of any dirt, oil, or grease by using a degreaser.
Step 2 - Prime: Apply one coat of the Two Pack HB ZP Primer.
Step 3 - Topcoat: Once the previous steps are complete, apply your first coat of Two Pack Epoxy top coat within 12-24 hours.
Mixing
- Use a mixer on a slow-running drill or a palette knife on smaller cans to mix the paint and catalyst together. An egg whisk, screwdriver, or small stick that doesn’t reach the bottom of the can is insufficient for proper mixing.
- Mix for 3-5 minutes, allow to stand for a minute, and then repeat.
- Combine the catalyst into the can before pouring it into a paint tray.
- If you are thinning the paint, this is added once the paint has been catalysed.
- Ensure all components are thoroughly mixed to avoid any colour inconsistencies or drying issues.
