The Epoxy A/F Tie Coat is a two-component epoxy tie coat, tar-free, specifically developed to ensure excellent adhesion between anticorrosive coatings and antifouling paints. It is an essential product for achieving a high-performance coating system in professional marine applications, particularly on the underwater hull.
This epoxy product creates a strong chemical and mechanical bonding layer between coatings, minimising the risk of adhesion failure and ensuring maximum system durability. It is suitable for both newbuild projects and maintenance or repair work.
