ACID
ETCH PRIMER
(PTI-YACID & GACID) |
|
PTI’s Air
Dry Wash Primer
is a polyvinyl butyral zinc chromate formulation that may be used to prime
all plain or plated metallic surfaces. Priming surfaces with this primer
will ensure maximum adhesion of all bake or air-dry finish coats (including
lacquer finish coats). The finely ground emulsions of zinc chromate pigment,
resins and phosphoric acid hardeners are virtually non-settling. Once applied, PTI’s air
dry wash primer requires no sanding. For the best results follow the instructions
on the technical data sheet. This primer exceeds the performance standards
specified in Department of Defense specification (DOD) 15328 and Military
Specification MIL-8514. |

EPOXY
PRIMER
(PTI YEP & GEP) |
|
PTI’s Epoxy
Primer
is a low VOC (volatile organic compounds) epoxy polyamide solvent primer
which conforms to the military specification MIL-P-23377 Rev. E. This formulation
has been tested by the U.S. Government and is on the Federal Government’s “Qualified
Products List.” This coating is highly recommended for use
on aluminum and all plated or unplated metallic surfaces to insure maximum
protection against corrosion. This primer may be used as an interior or
exterior primer that insures maximum adhesion of any paint or lacquer finish
coats. In laboratory tests, PTI’s epoxy primer maintained
its integrity when subjected to the following chemical and other resistance
properties tests:
