Primer 28 (Rigid or Flex)
Primer 28 is a one-component primer used primarily for concrete substrates and other inherently dust prone applications. It is available in Rigid or Flexible formulations. It is a moisture-cure solvent based polyisocyanate which is reduced 3:1 using Xylene, Naptha Aromatic 100, Butyl Acetate or MEK. This primer may be also formulated with zinc to provide galvanic protection when used in industrial metal assemblies. It is ideal for polyurea or polyaspartic topcoats which require high performance adhesive characteristics. It is normally used in demanding environments such as coastal marine, industrial chemical processing and oily water treatment plants where superior adhesion is required. Top-Coats include SuperSkinSytems’ polyurea coatings as well as other top coating systems such as uethanes, enamels or acrylics. If application surface retains extensive corrosion, normal forms of media blasting is recommended to create a secure surface preparation. PRIMER 28 is applied in thin coats and quickly flashes off to a dry-tacky touch in minutes depending on relative humidity and temperature. If the primer becomes totally dry or exceeds the max working application window of 24 hrs then a quick recoat will be necessary. Top coating must be applied to the primer while in a tacky wet to tacky dry state.

Pole-Setting Rigid Foam
Pole Setting Foam is designed specifically for fast-setting structural pole-setting applications such as utility/telephone poles, flag poles, fence posts, etc. It is a tough 100% solids non-hydrophilic 6 pcf foam formulation exhibiting 100 psi compressive strength to provide secure fast-installations. The foam may be used directly in holes which contain a water volume of less than 5% of the total hole volume. It delivers excellent chemical resistance and may be applied in dirt having a wide pH range. For special applications a 9.0 PCF density is also available with the same characteristics, but higher compression strength.
Pole-Setting Foam is mixed 1:1 using a hand-held drill jiffy mixer until both components mix into a uniform color (approx 1min). It is then poured directly around the pole into the surrounding hole which obtains a firm material set-up within 15 minutes. The foam may be covered with dirt immediately after it becomes rigid to the touch. It will not be damaged by rain after this point. Material reactivity time may be adjusted to accommodate specific demanding application environments if requested. Please contact Customer Service/ Tech Support for application recommendations and procedures.
