ALKA 412

Two-Component Surface Tolerant Epoxy

Alka-412 is a Surface Tolerant Epoxy is a specialized protective coating designed to adhere effectively to steel and metal surfaces that cannot be perfectly cleaned or fully abrasive blast-cleaned before painting. Unlike conventional epoxy coatings that require near-white metal surface preparation, surface-tolerant epoxies can be applied over tightly adhered rust, aged coatings, or minimally prepared surfaces while still providing strong corrosion protection and durability.
