VpCI-395 2K Water-Based Epoxy Primer for Industrial Metal Protection
A 2K Water-Based Epoxy Primer good coating system starts with the primer. If the primer does not grip the surface properly, the topcoat can fail early. This becomes more important in the UAE and GCC, where metal faces heat, humidity, dust, salt air and industrial exposure almost every day.
VpCI-395 2K Water-Based Epoxy Primer is made for metal surfaces that need strong adhesion and corrosion protection. It is a two-component water-based epoxy primer that can apply DTM, direct to metal, in harsh outdoor and unsheltered applications. It also provides multi-metal protection and can compete with many paint and zinc-rich primer systems in protective performance.
Alvina supplies this 2K Water-Based Epoxy Primer across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain and other UAE locations. Customers in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain can also source it for industrial coating and maintenance projects.
What is VpCI-395 2K Water-Based Epoxy Primer?
VpCI-395 2K Water-Based Epoxy Primer is a fast-drying used for corrosion protection on metal. It works as a two-part system, so users mix Part A and Part B before application. Once applied, it creates a strong primer layer that supports adhesion, corrosion resistance and long-term coating performance.
This Water-Based Epoxy Primer offers excellent adhesion, salt spray resistance, immersion resistance and long-term corrosion protection for steel. It also dries to touch in around 20–30 minutes and has a long pot life of about 6–8 hours, depending on conditions.
Use of 2K Water-Based Epoxy Primer
- Primes metal before applying a protective coating system.
- Helps protect steel from corrosion in outdoor and industrial areas.
- Supports direct-to-metal application on suitable surfaces.
- Works for structural steel, tanks, OEM parts and equipment overhauls.
- Helps protect immersed equipment and holding tanks.
- Gives a strong base for compatible topcoats.
- Supports coating work in humid, coastal and corrosive environments.
- Helps reduce coating failure when users prepare the surface correctly.
- Fits industrial projects across UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain.
