Teamac Metaclor Underwater Primer is a modified chlorinated rubber-based primer designed for excellent adhesion and protection on steel, wood and GRP (glass-reinforced plastic).
Containing zinc phosphate for added corrosion resistance, this primer performs exceptionally as both an underwater primer on properly prepared steel and as a sealing coat compatible with most conventional coating systems.
Recommended for use below the waterline or as part of a full marine protection system when overcoated with Teamac Chlorinated Rubber Topcoat.

Surface Preparation
All surfaces should be clean, dry and free from grease, oil, and contaminants.
Bare Steel: Abrasive blast to SA 2½ where possible. If blasting isn’t practical, use mechanical cleaning; hand preparation is not sufficient. Degrease with solvent prior to de-rusting.
Existing Coatings: Clean, degrease and lightly abrade to provide a key. Remove all loose or flaking paint and treat exposed metal as new steel.
Wood & GRP: Lightly abrade, remove dust and ensure the surface is fully dry.
Maintenance Work: Remove marine growth, oil and grease; high-pressure wash with fresh water; feather back edges and spot prime any bare areas before applying a full coat
Directions for Use
Mix thoroughly before application.
Apply by brush, roller or airless spray.
If spraying, use a 0.017"–0.021" tip at approx. 1900 psi (130 bar).
Thin if required with up to 5 % Teamac Thinners 16.
Apply at approx. 100 microns WFT to achieve 38 microns DFT.
Allow to dry at least 8 hours before overcoating.
Overcoat with Teamac Chlorinated Rubber or other compatible systems.
Ensure good ventilation during application and drying. Avoid high humidity or low temperatures.
