Gulf Coast Paint PC-2.8

Poly-Chemcure PC-2.8 is a high-performing, very fast recoat, sandable, two component, VOC conforming (2.8lbs./gal./low HAPS) Amine Cured Epoxy that will cure at temperatures down to 20°F. PC-2.8 Epoxy Primer is specially modified with a proprietary blend of selective resins, wetting agents and penetrants to provide excellent adhesion and protection to properly prepared carbon steel, galvanized steel, and aluminum surfaces. Depending on the temperature, the fast setting PC-2.8 can be recoated in 90 – 105 minutes. PC-2.8 High Production Epoxy Primer is used as a regular and high build primer under a wide variety of Epoxy and Polyurethane topcoats.

    Product Features
    • A high performance primer on properly prepared carbon steel, galvanized steel, and aluminum where:
    • Recoating in 90 minutes is possible for maximum productivity.
    • No induction time and longer pot life will improve productivity.
    • A smooth, sandable primer, at 3 mils DFT, for maximum appearance when topcoating is required.
    • A high build primer, up to 6 mils DFT, over abrasive blasted or power tool cleaned substrate is needed for
    • additional corrosion resistance.
    • Application by brush and roller, in addition to spraying, may be necessary.
    • Spray application with minimal dry spray is desired.
    • Application at temperatures as low as 35°F is needed. Will cure down to 20°F.
