TriBond W™ is a water-based, two-part epoxy primer that dries quickly. This primer can be quickly overcoated to meet the demands of high-speed production. TriBond W™ adheres extremely well to iron phosphate and blasted surfaces that have been properly prepared. TriBond W™ adheres well to most non-ferrous metal surfaces and can be applied over zinc galvanizing, inorganic zinc, and most other non-ferrous metal surfaces. Corrosion, water resistance, adhesion, and overall durability are all excellent.

Application Data

Surface Preparation:
All surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of contaminants. All dirt, grease, rust, mill scale, or loose chalky paint must be removed.
Recommended surface preparation includes:

  • surface blasting to remove all mill scale (maximum profile: 0.5-1.0 mils) iron phosphate* (35-40 milligrams per square foot)
  • zinc phosphate* (25-30 milligrams per square foot)
  • seal coat or DI final rinse recommended

APPLICABLE SUBSTRATES: [when properly prepared]

  • ferrous or non ferrous
  • primed galvanized
  • primed aluminum
  • concrete

APPLICATION TEMPERATURE:

  • Substrate must remain 10° F above the dew point during application and for 24 hours after application.
  • Not recommended for substrate temperatures below 50° F or above 100° F.
