Epo-chem™ RL 500PF
Epo-chem™ RL 500PF
Epo-chem™ RL 500PF is a high solids, wet, rust & oil tolerant primer/finish coating.
It has been specifically designed as a one-coat system or as a high performance coating which can be over-coated with coloured topcoats.
This system has been specified and utilised by almost all major marine, offshore, petrochemical and power generation companies.
RL 500PF is particularly effective as an all-weather coating for large external structures (including steam pipes) where complete encapsulation or weather proofing is not possible. Rain, water and high humidity have no effect on the freshly-painted surface.
