MARKETS & APPLICATIONSMajor market for this unique Spray Pri-mer is within the coating business in the foundry production of counterweights where there is a need of high quality sur-face cosmetics, good adhesion as well as corrosion protection and fast and easy sanding before painting. PRIMER 1202 is starring all of these benefits!
Industrial maintenance is also another segment where PRIMER 1202 is very welcome for repairing and finishing high cosmetics parts made from either Alumi-num, or Iron or Composites! There are many applications in the Transportation segment (trucks parts – aviation – train
parts), but also for utility poles repair, off-road segment (large metal cast parts re-pair, rebuilding equipments, bridge part maintenance.
PRIMER 1202 is an effective solution for metal coating everywhere high surface finish is requested, good adhesion on many substrates, corrosion protection, ra-pid curing at room temperature and easy sanding properties. There are many new areas to develop with this High Build Pri-mer and convert old fashion priming solu-tion to our unique one.

PRODUCT INFORMATIONPRIMER 1202 is based on unsaturated hybrid Polyester & Epoxy resin systems. Product performances such as adhesion, elongation, thermal properties and fast curing are coming from the unique base resin system in use within this formulation together with the well-designed curing agents and selected fillers.
FEATURES:
• High Build capability in one layer – Up to 800µ wet• VOC compliant – Low Volatile Organic Compound Product• Ready to spray with a 2-component spray equipment• Excellent adhesion to various substrates (iron-aluminum-
metal-composites-wood…)• Adhere perfectly well on non-sanded sealers, car body
fillers, primers…
• Very fast cure! Ready to sand < 60 minutes after spraying! • User friendly to sand• Reduce cycle times effectively• Fill most of surface imperfections and leave a levelled
and smooth surface before sanding• Porosity free coating• Strong against corrosion
APPLICATIONPRIMER 1202 is a 2-component system. MEKP50 peroxide (Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide) is to be used at 1-2% to cure it. It is a sprayable primer only. Due to its very fast gel time (3-6 minutes) in 200gr mass with 2% peroxide MEKP50, there is no time enough to use it by brush. The use of a cup gun for spraying will not be possible as well for same reasons.
To spray it, a 2 component system with mixing by the gun (internal mix) is the best
option. The equipment specifications are very similar to the ones for spraying Polyester Gel coat or Polyester resins. Most 2-components equipment builders will have the right machine to spray PRI-MER 1202. Good to have a heater in-line to ease the application.
Our Technical Sales teams at EUROMERE and at our global distribution network can direct you to the nearest equipment sup-plier if needed.
SURFACE PREPARATION
• Sand blast or take imperfections out of the surface before spraying
• Remove dust from the surface with air blowing and solvent
• Fill deep cavities with car body filler and sand after cure and remove dust again
• Make sure there is no moisture in the workshop air and/or in the compressed air line to avoid contamination of the substrate. Moisture can affect product performances (adhesion – curing)
APPLICATION PROCEDURE
• Remix the product in the drum during 20 minutes or more with an adequate mixer
• Stop remixing before starting the spraying operation
• Check Catalyst ratio on the machine. Better to use a red dye peroxide to have a visual color indication in the mix
• Start spraying with spraying distance between 50 and 90 cm
• Use a mil gauge to check the desired thickness
• Spray perpendicularly to the surface (90°)
• Spray in cross passes to obtain regular thickness
• Spray multi layers to build the overall thickness
• Wait few seconds in between the layers
• Use the mil gauge regularly to get what expected
• When finished, flush the spraying machine accordingly.
PRIMER 1202 film curing will depend on peroxide level, application tempera-tures (substrate – product – ambient air) and sprayed thickness. Part will be ready to sand in 30 to 60 minutes after spraying!
High Surface Cosmetics, close to Class A finishing is made possible with PRIMER 1202!
