ALKA 104
2-Component, Solvent based Epoxy PrimerSolvent-based Epoxy Primer
Alka104 is generally used to prime concrete surfaces prior to the application of the main coating products or systems. Alka104 improves the adhesion between substrates and coatings, particularly on difficult surfaces (such as power-floated concrete). It can also be used to prime for application of polyurethane and polyurea coatings as well as sealing concrete.
