IZOLEP-235 — epoxy primer-enamel for ships, ballast tanks and hydraulic structures
High-build epoxy primer-enamel for ballast tanks, decks, hydraulic structures and pressure vessels; applied down to −10 °C.

A two-pack vinyl-epoxy primer-enamel with adhesion to steel, galvanised steel and aluminium; it can be applied over tightly adhering rust and old coatings at temperatures down to −10 °C. The coating has low flame spread and does not emit excessive smoke or toxic products when burning, so it is suitable for ship spaces and escape routes; there is a type approval certificate of the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping. It works on its own, as a finish coat over VINIKOR-marin, VINIKOR-ecoprime-01, TSINEP or as an adhesion layer under antifouling enamel.
