Deine Fragen / Unsere Antworte

Do I need a primer if I paint directly over old antifouling?
That depends on how well the old coating adheres and whether you are changing the system. When changing systems or if the substrate is damaged, a compatible adhesion primer is almost always necessary to ensure adhesion and protective effect.
Can I use an epoxy primer on aluminum?
Only if it is explicitly approved for aluminum. Standard epoxy primers can promote galvanic reactions on aluminum. Use a primer specifically formulated for light metal that takes this problem into account.
How many coats of primer are advisable below the waterline?
This is determined by the respective product system. For osmosis protection on GRP, two to three coats of epoxy primer are often recommended, each applied within the specified recoating time.
How long do I have to wait after priming before applying antifouling?
The recoating time is stated in the technical data sheet for the primer and varies depending on temperature and humidity. Adhere to this time window precisely – painting too early or too late will compromise adhesion and durability.
