Delaware, OH (PRWEB) April 26, 2016 -- Matthews Paint's newest low VOC epoxy primer provides corrosion resistance, excellent paint adhesion and increased paint durability. It is an ideal primer in areas where a maximum 2.1 VOC is required. In addition, the 2.1 Low VOC Gray Epoxy Primer does not contain target-HAPs (Hazardous Air Pollutants) and complies with the EPA 6H Rule.

The 2.1 Low VOC Gray Epoxy Primer has the added advantage of fast dry times. Having a Dry-to-Handle time of 30 to 45 minutes and a Dry-to-Topcoat time of only 45 to 60 minutes makes this primer ideal when production time is critical.

"The ability to cover a large variety of substrates, including stainless steel, makes the 2.1 Low VOC Gray Epoxy Primer the go-to primer for fabricators looking to consolidate the number of primers used," stated Jan Scheske, Manager of Marketing and Customer Service at Matthews Paint. This sandable primer is recommended for properly prepared steel, stainless steel, blasted steel, carbon steel, galvanized steel, aluminum, fiberglass, body fillers, masonry, wood, sign foam and previously painted surfaces.

This two-part system consists of the Epoxy Primer (274 528SP) and the 2.1 Low VOC Gray Epoxy Hardener (274 529SP), with a mix ratio (by volume) of 4:1. The usable pot life is approximately 4 hours at 70°F (21°C).
