ALKA 105

2-Component, Solvent Based Epoxy Primer for Damp Surfaces

Solvent-based Epoxy Primer

Alka 105 is generally used to prime concrete surfaces prior to the application of the main coating products or systems. Alka 105 improves the adhesion between substrates and coatings, particularly on difficult and damp 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.
