ARCOR® EE-80
ARCOR® EE-80 is a solvent-free epoxy formulation characterized by its exceptionally low viscosity, making it an ideal penetrating pre-primer. Specifically designed for use on extensive metal surface areas that require protection until an ARCOR™ coating system can be applied, it also serves to enhance the adhesion of a coating system to metal surfaces in immersion service situations where achieving SSPC-SP5 cleanliness through blasting is not feasible. When applied to external metal structures, ARCOR™ EE-80 effectively penetrates through rusty surfaces, curing into a durable, water-resistant coating. Moreover, it performs excellently as a sealer on aged zinc surfaces exhibiting "white rust," requiring just one thin coat with a thickness of 1.5 mils. Additionally, this versatile product serves as an effective primer for concrete surfaces, especially in cases where hydrostatic pressure may pose a concern. ARCOR Epoxy Technologies can tailor make or reformulate the product to suit customer needs. Please reach out if you need a custom formulated product!

- Overcoat and Cure Time
By Brush, Roller or squeegee re-coat while material is still soft, but tack-free, between 2hrs-7 days at 77ºF (25ºC).If over coat window is exceeded wipe entire coated area with MEK or Acetone. By spray application re-coat between 1 hour – 7 days at 77ºF. Full cure before immersion refer to top coat data sheet. Add 2 days additional overcoat time for each 10ºF below 77ºF. Subtract 18 hours of overcoat time for each 10ºF above 77ºF.
