Applications & Uses

Application Method
Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
Substrates

EpoxyGrip 2900 is normally applied directly to steel as recommended. Substrate should be dry and free of debris and all contaminants. A blasted profile of the substrate is recommended for optimum EpoxyGrip 2900 performance.

Topcoats

EpoxyGrip 2900 is normally topcoated with an epoxy finish such as EpoxyGrip 2000 or a urethane finish such as UreGrip 3900 or UreGrip 3000. EpoxyGrip 2900, like other epoxies, tends to chalk and amber when exposed to sunlight in a humid environment.

Pot Life

Four hours at 75° and less at higher temperatures.
