POLEPOX-EPX ZP
Two component primer containing zinc phosphate. It is best for protecting sheet metal and steel from atmospheric corrosion between blast cleaning and production process.
APPLICATION AREAS
Iron-steel surfaces, power plants, petrochemical facilities, storage tanks where corrosion protection is needed. Have excellent adhesion capability on aluminum and galvanized surfaces.

SURFACE PREPARATION
- Steel Surfaces: Oil, grease, dust, and other particles should be cleaned with appropriate organic solvents, detergent or pressured water. For best results, apply Swedish Standard SA 2 ½ Blast Cleaning. After 2-3 hours, apply POLEPOX-EPX ZP Epoxy Zinc Primer as 15-20 microns.
- Repair and Maintenance: Surface should be free of dust, oil and grease. Worn and damaged surface should be St3 or Sa2 standard blast cleaned.
APPLICATION CONDITIONS
For best results, surface temperature should be between 10°C and 30°C and relative humidity at maximum 80%. To avoid condensation, metal surface temperature should not be 3°C higher than dew point.
MIXTURE PREPARATION
Product should be homogeneously mixed with a mechanical mixer. Add the thinner and hardener as specified in the technical properties section. Before application, let the mixture rest for 15 minutes.
APPLICATION METHODS
Application is suggested at 20°C for best results.
- Airless Spray: Nozzle diameter: 0.015-0.017 inch; Nozzle pressure: 120-200 bar; Application Viscosity (DINCUP4): 30-40 sec.
- Air Spray: Nozzle diameter: 1.6-1.8 inch; Nozzle pressure: 4 bar; Application Viscosity (DINCUP4): 20-24 sec.
- Roll-Brush: Suggested for small areas. Pay close attention to reach the desired dry film thickness.
STORAGE INFORMATION - HEALTH AND SAFETY
Keep in cool, dry, ventilated storage. Keep away from direct sunlight, sparks, and open flame. Shelf life is 12 months.
Follow safety measures on the packaging and MSDS. Provide well ventilation; use mask and gloves. Do not breathe the vapor.
