What is Epoxy Primer with Hardener EF10?
Epoxy Primer with Hardener EF10 is an industrial primer designed to prepare and enhance the adhesion of various surfaces, such as concrete, metal, and wood. Made from a combination of epoxy resin and hardener EF10, this product creates a durable, adhesive, and insulating layer that protects surfaces from moisture, corrosion, and chemical infiltration. Due to its high durability and ease of application, it is widely used in industries such as epoxy flooring, sealing, and preparing industrial coatings. This product is an ideal choice for priming before the application of final layers.
How to Use Epoxy Primer with Hardener EF10?
Pre-application Checks and Recommendations
- Surface Inspection: Ensure that the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, or dust. The moisture content should not exceed 4-5%.
- Ambient Temperature and Humidity: The environment should be between 10 to 35°C, and the relative humidity should not exceed 80%.
- Proper Ventilation: Ensure that the workspace is well-ventilated to allow the fumes to escape.
- Tool Inspection: Tools like rollers, brushes, or sprayers should be clean and ready for use.
- If the surface is coated with alkyd or polyester-based coatings, the entire layer should be sanded off first.
- Oil and grease must be removed and sanded after cleaning with a degreasing agent like OP30.

Steps for Applying Epoxy Primer with Hardener EF10
- Before adding the hardener to the primer, mix the primer (EF10) in a clean container for 2 minutes using a mixer.
- After adding the hardener, mix the hardener and primer for 3 minutes, then allow the mixture to rest for 1 to 5 minutes before application.
- Apply the mixture onto the surface using a primer roller (Fia Roller) or brush.
Note 1: Never use hardeners for primer or topcoat for this product.
Note 2: Resin and hardener mixing should follow the exact ratio specified for primer mixing.
Note 3: Using too little or too much resin or hardener will negatively impact the drying of the primer.
Note 4: Do not mix more than 10 kg of primer with hardener in one batch.
Note 5: Weigh all the materials accurately using a scale (designed for industrial measurements).
