- Mixing
DO NOT HAND MIX. Use a power mixer. Consistency should be uniform and smooth with no settled pigments remaining at the bottom. Pour hardener into the pail containing the resin and thoroughly mix for three minutes. When temperatures are below 50°F, allow a 15 minute induction time of the mixed primer before application. The two components must be combined in proper ratios for this product to cure properly. Failure to adequately mix, to achieve a uniform dispersion, or failure to blend to the proper volume proportion will result in a failure of the coating to perform adequately. DO NOT THIN. Allow cold material to warm to room temperature before applying. If needed warm each component before mixing to lower viscosity. Do not heat containers above 120°F.

- Paints & Coatings
- Printing & Packaging
- Storage
Store at 40°F to 110°F (5°C to 43°C) temperature.
- Pot Life
- About 45 minutes at 77°F (25°C).
- PACKAGING
CIM EMT Epoxy Primer is packaged in 3 gallon units consisting of 2 gallons of CIM EMT Resin and 1 gallon of CIM EMT Hardener. Proper volumes of each must be mixed thoroughly prior to application.
- Advantages
Moisture tolerant.; Improves adhesion to surfaces where a dry condition cannot be achieved.; Penetrates concrete surfaces in order to help limit outgassing.; Solvent free formula is ideal for use in environments sensitive to solvent odors.; Can be used as an alternate to CIM 61TN Epoxy Primer.; VOC Compliant.
- Shelf LIfe
- 1 year
- Precaution
Mixing equipment must be DRY. Standing water and excess moisture must be removed from the surface before the material is applied. Do not apply in wet weather, when rain is imminent or when the surface may become wet before the coating is dry. Strictly observe mixing, induction times and substrate temperature requirements.
