Coal tar Epoxies although chemically curing need a certain amount of temperature to cure. The substrate temperature relatives to the air temperature and relative humidity are very critical conditions to attain optimum film formation and proper adhesion.

Paint application can be applied by brush, roller or spray. Brush and roller application method do not allow high film build and also slow down the pace of work.

Spray application provides speed and right film build, especially airless spray method.

The following systems are provided as guide to obtain good coating performance from the MEYER PAINTS PROMARINE range.
