Propspeed Etching Primer bonds tenaciously to non-ferrous metals like aluminum, brass, and bronze. For maximum adhesion, pre-treat metal with Propprep metal conditioner before applying Etching Primer. Includes Primer Base & Hardener only.
Propspeed Etching Primer is used as a pre-treatment primer on non-ferrous metals such as bronze and aluminium, as well as zinc and galvanized iron. It may also be used as pre-treatment primer on blast-cleaned steel plates.
When applied properly, the Propspeed system has excellent adhesion to keep underwater metal components clean and corrosion-free for up to 2 years. It’s also safe for marine life because its silicone-based formula contains no biocides.
Mixing Tip: Propspeed Paint Mixing Wheels (sold separately) ensure thorough and easy mixing of the Propspeed Etching Primer Base and Hardener components prior to application. Be sure to stir thoroughly to remove all the solids at the bottom of the Etching Primer Base container before adding in the Etching Primer Hardener and mixing completely. Mixing thoroughly prevents inconsistencies and premature hardening, while increasing the longevity of the final Propspeed coating system.
IMPORTANT: Proper timing of the application for each component in the Propspeed system is critical for maximum adhesion, efficacy, and longevity of the cured Propspeed coating. For best results, read all instructions and watch the videos before applying. It’s also recommended to have a second person to help.
