Description
ALL in ONE EPOXY PRIMER P-76 is a heavy-duty, marine grade, two component anticorrosive epoxy primer with multiple applications. It has excellent durability, deep penetration and excellent anticorrosive properties. It’s modified epoxy resins improve the adhesion of topcoats and provide unique protection to the substrate from osmosis (polyester and epoxy boats), corrosion (metal surfaces). It also reinforces and protects cementitious surfaces from adverse weathering conditions (primer). It is ideal for industrial use when maximum performance is required.
ADVANTAGES
- Excellent adhesion
- Prevents osmosis
- High anti-corrosive & anti-rust protection
- High mechanical strength and chemical resistance
- High resistance to high temperatures
- High resistance to moisture and frost
- Does not crack
- Suitable for axles and propellers
APPLICATIONS
- Primer and anticorrosive protection of metal and aluminum structures exposed to corrosive conditions above and below the waterline.
- Primer and antiosmosis protection of GRP/FRP structures exposed to corrosive conditions above and below the waterline.
- Primer of wooden structures above and below the waterline.
- Enhances the adhesion of the topcoat.
- Excellent as a bonding layer between old and new polyurethane topcoats (e.g., X-88) or antifouling paints (e.g., YFALON).

Instructions for use
Surface Preparation
- Surfaces should be dry, clean, and free from dust, oil, and friable residues. Degrease new metal surfaces with DIL X 100 solvent.
- Surfaces should not be cleaned with water. They should be brushed, scrubbed, or sandblasted (Metal – Sa2½) instead.
- If there are any cracks or openings, they should be spotted and filled using epoxy putty EPOXITE CONSTRUCT or EPOXITE LIGHT FILLER.
- Sand with #120 - #180 grit all epoxy putty patches. Remove dust.
- New cementitious substrates should be allowed to dry for at least 28 days.
- Substrate humidity should not be over 4%.
Mixing
- Α (resin) and Β (hardener) components are already packed in separate containers with a preset mixing ratio. Any modification of the mixing ratio will result in improper polymerization of the mixture.
- Β component should be added completely to component A.
- The two components should be mixed for about 3 - 5 minutes using a low-speed mixer.
- It is important to stir the mixture thoroughly near the sides and the bottom of the container to achieve uniform dispersion of the hardener.
Application
- ALL in ONE EPOXY PRIMER P-76 should be applied in one, two, or more coats if required, using a roller, brush, spray, or airless spray. Wait 8 hours to dry between coats.
- Allow the last coat to dry for 24 hours and slightly sand the surface. Clean with DIL X 100 solvent, wait for the surface to dry completely, and apply the topcoat, either polyurethane 2-pack coating X-88, antifouling paint YFALON, or other appropriate 2-pack epoxy-based coating.
REMARKS
- The ideal temperature for applying epoxy coatings is between +15°C and +25°C. In lower temperatures (<+15°C), delayed hardening is observed, while in higher temperatures (>+30°C), curing is accelerated. It is advised to store the product at room temperature between +15°C and +25°C prior to mixing.
- Substrate’s temperature must be at least 3°C above the dew point.
- Bonding between successive layers may be severely affected by the intervention of moisture or dirt.
- Primed surfaces should be protected from moisture until dry. Moisture may induce unwanted effects during hardening. Discolored or sticky parts of the surface should be removed by grinding or milling and laid again.
- ALL in ONE EPOXY PRIMER P-76 contains solvents. Ventilate the working area adequately. It is advised to use protective gloves and a mask suitable for solvents.
- Do not apply ALL in ONE EPOXY PRIMER P-76 over any conventional 1-pack products without making a compatibility check first.
- For optimum adhesion over plywood and metal, apply the first coat with a brush, thinned 20% with DIL X 100 solvent.
- Do not apply wet-in-wet.
- Do not apply excessive wet films to avoid the formation of curtains and drying problems.
- Avoid applying in direct sunlight or too much wind.
- Before using the product, consult the SAFETY DATA SHEET.
