IZOLEP-gidro — epoxy primer-enamel for underwater and damp structures
Epoxy primer-enamel for berths, tanks and water conduits: applied to damp surfaces, cures under water, Im1–Im3 per ISO 12944.

A primer-enamel on a vinyl-polyester binder that is applied directly to metal and fibreglass and allows painting in frost — down to −25 °C. It is used on the topsides, decks and superstructures of ships, on freight rolling stock and railway infrastructure (except railway bridges), and on steel structures of oil and gas and power facilities. It goes over tightly adhering rust and old vinyl, vinyl-epoxy and epoxy coatings; it works on its own or over VINIKOR-marin, VINIKOR-ecoprime, IZOLEP-mastic primers, and the service temperature is from −60 to +60 °C.
