TIE-COAT PRIMER
Product Information and Specifications
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Tie-Coat Primer is a very tough and sandable,
non-moisture sensitive single-component polyurethane primer.
It contains hybrid polymeric resins which have excellent adhesion
characteristics to most painted surfaces, especially that of POR-15,
because we have matched and blended the isocyanate resin components
of both coatings to make them fully compatible. Tie-Coat Primer is
highly resistant to penetrating topcoats such as enamels, lacquers,
and two-component finishes ("penetrating topcoats" refers to topcoats
with especially aggressive solvent bases which can penetrate and ruin
a partially cured base coat).
Tie-Coat Primer is not a reactive coating
(as is POR-15, which reacts to moisture),
but its revolutionary adhesion promotors make it an ideal
interlocking prime coat between POR-15 and various topcoats.
It sands to a perfectly smooth finish. It may be used over
well-seasoned POR-15 coatings even if they are more than a
year old, with no special preparation other than cleaning the surface.

SUPPLEMENTARY INSTRUCTIONS
Surface Preparation: Surface to be coated should be free
of grease, oil, foreign substances. Use a water soluble
cleaner like POR-15 Marine Clean. Use of a scuff pad will
create the best surface for adhesion.
Thinning: May be thinned up to 5% with POR-15 Solvent.
Thinning is not usually required. Subsequent coats may be
applied at 12 hour intervals if desired. Stir Tie-Coat
thoroughly before using; do not shake as this will
create air bubbles.
Pressure: Spray at approximately 35 lbs.
Do not sand between coats of primer.
Sand only after final coat of primer has fully dried (24 hours).
Topcoating: Allow a minimum of 24 hours before applying
any topcoat over Tie-Coat Primer. Failure to allow enough
dry time before applying topcoats may result in spidering
or crinkling of the finish.
Storage & Handling: Store in tightly closed container and
protect from moisture and foreign materials. Ideal storage
temperature range is 50 - 81° F (10 - 27° C).
Summary:
- Stir, do not shake, Tie-Coat Primer before using.
- Do not sand between coats. Sand only after final
coat has dried thoroughly (24 hours).
- As with all solvent-based coatings, use an organic
vapor particulate respirator, NIOSH/MSHA approved, when
spraying or brushing. In closed areas, use an air-supplied
respirator when spraying.
