IZOLEP-eps — epoxy shop primer for automatic lines
Epoxy pre-fabrication primer for rolled steel plate: protection up to 24 months, allows high-speed welding and thermal cutting.

A highly filled epoxy primer-enamel for structures in water and in the variable level zone: port and river hydraulic structures, ships, underground fire-water tanks, water conduits, and structures at pulp and paper and chemical plants. It can be applied to a damp surface and cures under immersion — when painting between tides, the structure is immersed after just 2 h at 20 °C. It is produced in two grades, standard and GF with glass flakes for increased abrasion and corrosion resistance; it is compatible with cathodic protection, immersion categories Im1–Im3 per ISO 12944.
