ARCOR® EE-11 Prime
ARCOR® EE-11 Prime is a solvent-free, high-functionality epoxy Novolac formulated as a corrosion inhibiting primer specifically designed for steel and metal alloys in immersion service. With the inclusion of Zinc Phosphate, ARCOR® EE-11 Prime effectively inhibits corrosion of the metal substrate, preventing damage caused by water, salts, or mechanical factors. This primer is particularly well-suited for aggressive water service, such as salt or brackish environments, as it eliminates corrosion undercutting of the coating. The multi-functional chemistry of ARCOR® EE-11 Prime results in a fine multipurpose coating that offers excellent resistance to moderate acids, severe caustic substances, and elevated temperatures. Additionally, its ceramic fillers contribute to exceptional abrasion resistance. The formulation of ARCOR® EE-11 Prime ensures flexibility, enabling it to withstand impacts, thermal expansion and contraction, as well as mechanical stresses with ease. ARCOR Epoxy Technologies can tailor make or reformulate the product to suit customer needs. Please reach out if you need a custom formulated product!
