Product Description
Hempel's Underwater Primer is a fast drying underwater primer containing aluminium flakes.
Best Uses
Hempel Underwater Primer is suitable for use on glass fibre, wood and steel. For use on all areas below the waterline, including keels.
Ideal for below water use as a sealer onto old antifouling, or as a tiecoat over an epoxy primed surface before antifouling.
Application
Remove oil, grease and other contaminants by suitable detergent cleaning. Clean with Hempel's Pre-Clean.
New build:
- Uncoated surface: Sand and remove all dust.
- New wood: Saturate the dry, clean surface with a suitable wood treatment, allow to dry.
- Steel: Remove salt and other contaminants by (high pressure) fresh water cleaning. Remove all rust and loose material by abrasive blasting or power tool cleaning. Dust off residues. Prime with specified Hempel's Primer.
Maintenance and Repair:
- Previously coated surface: Abrade, clean and dry the surface.
- Spot repair and sand to obtain a uniform surface profile.
Stir well before use. Prime porous surfaces with first coat of the product thinned with specified Hempel's Thinner: max 20%. Apply 2 full coats undiluted.
Previously epoxy primed surface: Apply 1 coat of the product as a tiecoat. Overcoat two component products with a single component product whilst the surface is almost dry but has a slight tacky feel.
Previously coated surface: Apply 1 full coat undiluted. Add thinner to assist application if necessary: max 5%. Overcoat with chosen antifouling.
