EpoPrime™ Epoxy Sealer is a two component, solvent borne, epoxy/polyamide sealer designed for use on concrete, masonry, and brick. Dustproofs concrete by penetrating surface pores leaving a tough durable film. Can also be used as primer/sealer for epoxy and thermoplastic traffic applications.
EpoPrime™ Epoxy Sealer is ideal for interior concrete floors, concrete block walls, terrazzo, rock and most masonry-based surfaces. In exterior applications, ideal bond coat for epoxy, urethane, and thermoplastic.
Mixing | This is a two-component coating. Add equal parts of ITS 500 and ITS 550 to larger container and mix thoroughly. Allow mixed coating to set for 10-20 minutes before applying |
Pot Life | 12 hours at 68°F |
Application Equipment | Conventional or Airless spray |
Application Temperature | Use between 50 – 90°F, maximum humidity 80%, 5 degrees above dew point. |
Surface Preparation | Remove all old paint. Adhesion is greatly improved when the surface is roughed up using a light “brush blast” prior to sealer application. Surface must be dry. |
Striping Application | Apply ahead of striping application. When the sealer is almost dry to touch with a slight tacky feel, the thermoplastic should be applied. |
Thinning | Epoxy Thinner |
Clean-Up | Epoxy Thinner |
Stir each container thoroughly prior to use. Mix equal parts ITS 500 and ITS 550 by volume. Allow for a minimum of a 15 minute induction time before applying. Material is packaged at a viscosity requiring little or no reduction for application by brush, roller or spray.
Solvent of choice is Epoxy Thinner. MEK and acetone may be used. To store partially used container, pour a small amount of the recommended thinner over the surface. Do not stir. Replace lid securely. Store away from heat or open flame. Mix thoroughly before reusing.

Surfaces to be finished must be clean, dry and free of dirt, oil or any contamination that would adversely affect adhesion, protective properties or appearance of the coating.
Any concrete must be sufficiently cured to have complete hydration, approximately 28 days before applying EpoPrime™ Epoxy Sealer.
All other substrates contact your EpoPrime™ representative.

EpoPrime™ Epoxy Sealer has a recommended film build thickness of:
Wet (unreduced): 4-6 mils wet (100-150 microns)
Dry: 0.8-1.2 mils dry (20-30 microns)
Thermoplastic applications will be 2 to 3 times above the above wet film recommendations when applied by striping machine.
Theoretical coverage at 1.0 mil (25 microns)
DFT: 352 ft² per gallon at 100% transfer efficiency.

Note: Spraying viscosity and thinning will depend on ambient conditions, spray equipment used, and the desired surface finish.
See Mixing & Thinning section for recommend reducing solvents
Optimum drying conditions are 60°F to 90°F (16°C to 32°C) at 50% R.H. Lower temperatures and high humidity will slow dry. Surface must be dry and at least 5°F above the dew point. Never apply to masonry surfaces that are high in moisture content (above 20%), check with a moisture meter.
Cure Time (Based on 70°F & 50% R.H.):
To Touch: 5-10 minutes
To Handle: 30 minutes
Dry Through: 16 hours, Full Cure: 7 days.
To Recoat: May be recoated as early as 1 hour.
(Once solvent has left the film, thermoplastic may be applied)
• Avoid think films or puddling of product.
• Coverage will depend on porosity of substrate
• Clean all equipment immediately after use with xylol for spray guns and line, pots and other equipment
• Follow manufacturer’s safety recommendations when using any solvent.
Available in Gallon, 5-gallon, 55-gallon drum. Custom sizes may be available.
For optimum coating performance product, substrate and ambient temperature should be above 50°F (10°C). To prevent condensation during application the surface temperature must be 5°F (3°C) or more above the dew point at all times.
Note: For use outside this range please contact your EpoPrime™ Representative.

EpoPrime™ Grade II is a two component solvent based cross-linking, non-pigmented epoxy coating / primer.
Use on porous cementitious and asphalt surfaces viz roads, streets, parking decks.
Good surface preparation is essential for the optimum performance of any paint or primer. Substrates must be dry, free of dirt, grease and loose debris. Get an expert opinion before spraying hard to stick surfaces or for problematic environmental conditions during application.
Brush, roller, conventional or airless spray machines. Check the proper pump pressures, tip sizes, atomizing pressures that are best suitable to get the most efficient spray pattern for the correct mil thickness required. EpoPrime™ Grade II is a solvent based, flammable product. Make certain spray machine is designed for spraying solvent based flammable liquids and is grounded properly.
Mix equal parts of Part A and Part B in an appropriate size container for the batch size needed. Mix the two parts thoroughly. Use before the pot life or product will harden up in the mixing container or the spray machine. When EpoPrime™ Grade II is used as a primer, the Thermoplastic traffic paint ( top Coat ) can be applied over the EpoPrime™ Grade II prime coat after the solvents have flashed out and the EpoPrime™ Grade II has started to cure is slightly tacky.
Flammable, solvent based paint. For professional use only. Keep away from children. Proper agitation and mixing of paint is imperative to ensure proper spray consistency, application results and performance. Make sure lids are properly closed and resealed properly to avoid any spillage
