TSVES-SP — ethyl silicate pre-fabrication primer (shop primer)
Zinc-containing shop primer for automatic lines in steel fabrication and shipbuilding: interim protection up to 1 year, welding and cutting through the coating.

A dual-action epoxy primer: zinc phosphate works as a corrosion inhibitor, while micaceous iron oxide creates a barrier effect. High-build and fast-drying, it is particularly recommended for shop application on steel structures and bridges, while also allowing painting at air temperatures down to −10 °C. It is used in environments of categories C1–C5, CX and Im3 per GOST 34667 in all macroclimatic regions (from −60 °C); it works on its own or under IZOLEP-mio, POLITON-UR (UV), VINIKOR-62, and also in certified systems with PLAMCOR fire protection.
