Dimetcote - Amersun Singapore

1 Dimetcote 9 Inorganic-zinc silicate primerPerformance Coatings & FinishesProduct Data A heavy-duty primer that protects with a single coat. Outstanding application characteristics over a wide range ofatmospheric conditions. Can be applied by airless or conventional spray leaving asmooth film with negligible overspray even in hot weather. Excellent heavy-build film tolerance in corners and angles. High-metallic zinc content provides long-term corrosion protection that reduces maintenance costs. Abrasion resistance and minimum burn-back during welding reduce touch-up requirements. Applied over blasted or pickled UsesAs a single coat, Dimetcote 9 resists severe weathering andmarine environments.
