Disperse the Thixatrol ST in the EPONOL Resin 53-BH-35 along with the solvents using high speed dispersing equipment. It should be noted that maximum thixotropy is developed at about 130 F to 140 F. The zinc dust and Syloid ZN-1 are then added with good agitation until they are thoroughly dispersed. Package immediately to minimize water pickup by this primer system. The primer may be thinned to application viscosity with a blend of propylene glycol methyl ether acetate/xylene, 60/40 by weight. The coating should be dry to handle in about 25 minutes. CAUTION: While the adhesion of epoxy two-package topcoats over EPONOL Resin zinc-rich primers is excellent, alkyds and epoxy ester topcoats should be avoided because poor adhesion has been observed in those types of topcoats over zinc-rich primers.
