Epifanes Antifouling Primer CR

Epifanes CR Antifouling Primer is an underwater and antifouling primer based on chlororubber. It dries quickly and is suitable for use on a wide range of surfaces. When applied in sufficient thickness (min. 5 coats), it provides excellent rust protection and preservation. The chlororubber provides sufficient elasticity/toughness to accommodate any movement in the substrate.

Application:
Protective underwater system for steel, wood, aluminium and possibly polyester. Also suitable as an intermediate coat over existing antifouling (-remains) and tar-based systems to prepare for a hard and/or self-polishing antifouling.

Overcoating time:
24 hours

Coverage:
9 m2/l @ 30 microns

Recommended dry film thickness:
50 microns

Recommended wet film thickness:
100 microns

Description: underwater paint based on bitumen and aluminium for application below the waterline. When applied in sufficient coats, it provides excellent rust protection and preservation. Due to its high aluminium pigment content, this underwater paint inhibits the so-called bleeding of existing tar layers. On bare steel and existing (coal) tar systems, dilute the first coat of Underwaterprimer by 15-20% with Epifanes 1-C Spray Thinner and apply with a stiff brush (block brush or badger brush). Overcoat with so-called classic (soft) antifoulings, but also with self-polishing antifoulings. However, allow the Underwaterprimer to cure for 7 days before applying an antifouling. Apply the antifouling in one full roller stroke, so do not brush back and forth too much. Do not apply hard antifouling based on chlororubber or vinyl. Application: As a new protective underwater system for wood and steel. Also suitable for the maintenance and repair of existing coal tar layers and can be used as a barrier coat over traditional systems and remains of existing (tar) antifoulings. Brush application: Epifanes Paint Thinner 1st coat on bare steel and tar layers; Epifanes 1-C Spray Thinner Advice: Stir well before use. Overcoating time: After 24 hours at 18°C. Overcoat with: After 7 days with Werdol Copper-Free and Epifanes Foul Away Coverage: 9 m2/l @ 50 microns Colours: silver-bronze
