Pettit Protect High Build Epoxy Primer

Pettit Protect High Build Epoxy Primer is a heavy duty, two component epoxy coating for use where maximum resistance to fresh or salt water is required. It reduces water absorption in fiberglass hulls, making it an excellent choice for the prevention and repair of osmotic blisters. Pettit Protect's high-solids formula allows for quicker and easier application with fewer coats necessary for effective protection. Higher-solids equals 2 coat application instead of 6 needed by competitive products. Pettit Protect also provides dependable corrosion protection on steel, aluminum, and all other underwater metals. It is ideally suited for commercial and pleasure craft applications and has excellent durability.

Features:

• Reduces water absorption in fiberglass hulls and prevents osmotic blistering
