Description
Diamond 2-Pack Wash/Etch Primer is Polyvinyl Butyral resin blended with anti-corrosive zinc
chromate pigment and acidic etching agent which make it as pre-treatment type primer. It is
designed to etch and passivate ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It provides a resistant wearing
base coat for single and two pack coating systems. Diamond 2-pack Wash/Etch Primer offers
excellent adhesion and barrier properties under high build epoxy coatings i.e Diaoxy Hi-Build
coatings and Dia Acryl 2K PU Enamels to extend their life and performance.

Use
It is designed for aluminum, galvanized steel and light alloys for good adhesion of subsequent
paint coatings when applied in a thin coat. Suitable on steel for marine coatings when sand
blasting is not possible.
