Carboline Carboguard 553 is a two-component, water-based epoxy primer that is easy to apply and has very good chemical resistance.
Carboline Carboguard 553 is a two-component, water-based epoxy primer that is easy to apply and has very good chemical resistance.
This primer demonstrates increased film hardness and durability in comparison to straight acrylic or acrylic-epoxy systems. This straight epoxy formula is more chemical and abrasion resistant than most water-based epoxies, which translates into superior performance and longer service life
It is an outstanding corrosion resistant primer for steel or concrete substrates where a typical epoxy cannot be used due to odour or VOC requirements. It has superior performance properties over more typical acrylic-modified epoxies.
| Reasons to use Carboguard 553 | ||
|---|---|---|
| Performance Feature | Advantage | Benefits |
| Low odour, Low VOC | Compliant to VOC Regulations; worker safe conditions | Less ventilation requirements; can apply more square feet over a given period |
| Water-Based | Water Clean-Up and Thinning | No need to purchase or use additional solvents/ thinners |
| Fast-Drying | Quicker recoat or handle times | Increased productivity and faster job completion |
| Unique Inhibitive Epoxy Formula | Long-term corrosion protection in severe environments | Cost effective due to longer repaint periods |
