Metal Etch Primer™

Corrosion Resistance Metal Primer

Metal Etch Primer™ is a waterborne, acrylic primer for optimum corrosion protection of ferrous metal substrates.

Uses

Metal Etch Primer™ is used as a first coat on bare ferrous metal surfaces and as an adhesion coat over non-ferrous metals.

Advantages

Metal Etch Primer™ displays the following characteristics:
• Forms a tough, non chip film
• Good chemical and abrasion resistance
• Quick Drying
• Inhibits rust formation
• Waterborne for easy wash up
• No dangerous fumes from solvents
• Metal Etch Primer™ is used as a primer for all metal accessories e.g. drip edge, trim pieces, etc.
• Excellent adhesive to Kynar®, and silicone polyester based coatings.

Surface Preparation

Surface must be clean, oil and grease free and free of loosely adhering particles. All rusted areas must be sandblasted or wire brushed to remove any loose rust. Power washing of the general area to be coated is highly recommended for optimum bonding. Unless the metal is prepared to shop conditions, it is required to first apply one coat of Rust X-2020™ to the prepared surface.

Application

Apply the Metal Etch Primer™ by brush, roller or spray. Allow to dry. Then coat with appropriate Sealoflex product and/or Sealoflex System within 48 hours.

Cleaning

Wash tools and equipment immediately after use with water. Cured Metal Etch Primer™ can be removed with Quickclean™ available from Sealoflex,Inc.

Precautions

Do not apply Metal Etch Primer™ over existing asphalt, bituminous coatings or bituminous aluminum coatings.
