PRODUCT DESCRIPTION |
|
LOCTITE R Big Foot O Metal Primer is a two-component, epoxy-polyamide primer under typical dry service temperatures of ¡V29¢X to +60¢XC (¡V20¢X to +140¢XF). It is recommended for increasing adhesion of Big Foot anti-slip coatings on metal surfaces and for reducing corrosion on metal surfaces. |
|
|
|
• Superior resistance to chemicals and wear
• Does not require induction time
• Enhances adhesion properties to metal surfaces
• Reduces corrosion to metal surfaces
|
|
|
|
Big Foot Metal Primer is designed to be used in conjunction with Big Foot anti-slip coatings.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Surface Preparation
|
| ¡V Big Foot Metal Primer can be applied to any clean, dry surface. Recommended methods of cleaning are as follows: |
1. |
Remove all paint films, laitance, and unbonded particles, preferably by sandblasting. Remove oil, grease, dirt, wax or other contaminants by dissolving with a water-based cleaner/degreaser. Then flush thoroughly with clean water and allow to dry.
|
2. |
After cleaning, all loose particles must be removed by brushing, air hosing or similar method.
|
|
|
|
|
1. |
Mechanically mix the resin using a JiffyR mixing blade, Product No. 96131 until it is homogenous.
|
2. |
Pour the hardener into the base component container. Mechanically mix (using same mixer blade), scraping material from the sides and bottom of the can. Mix thoroughly until uniform, approximately 3 minutes.
|
NO THINNERS MAY BE ADDED. |
|
|
|
|
Big Foot Metal Primer can be applied at surface temperatures between 10¢XC to 37¢XC(50¢XF to 100¢XF). Application is not recommended at higher or lower temperatures. Big Foot Metal Primer can be applied by roller or brush.
|
1. |
Big Foot Metal Primer does not require an induction period and may be applied immediately after mixing. |
2. |
Big Foot Metal Primer should be applied to a minimum 2-3 mils (50-75 microns) dry film thickness. |
3. |
Weld seams and edges should be stripe coated prior to the complete prime coat. |
4. |
If the anti-slip application is delayed so that the surface becomes contaminated, clean the area again. Tack coat is not normally required provided the anti-slip application is made with 72 hours. After 72 hours, the primed surface must be mechanically abraded or grit-blasted prior to application of a tack coat. |
5. |
Clean tools immediately after completing installation using an epoxy solvent such as xylene. |

| TYPICAL CURING PERFORMANCE |
| |
* Temperature and thickness of application affect dry time. Temperatures under 10¢XC (50¢XF) will result in a substantially longer cure time. Temperatures over 27¢XC (80¢XF) will result in a shorter cure time. The thicker the application, the longer the cure time.
