Product Overview

Space Arc Engineering, an Authorized Project Distributor for STP Limited, supplies ShaliPrime® Etch — a two-component etch primer from STP Limited that prepares galvanized sheets and other metal surfaces for good coating adhesion. Galvanized surfaces are notoriously difficult to coat due to the smooth zinc surface and zinc soaps; etch primer solves this by chemically etching the surface.

Key Applications

• Galvanized sheet metal priming before coating
• Zinc-coated steel surface preparation
• Aluminum surface priming before coating
• New galvanized water tanks before internal coating
• Light metal fabrications requiring coating adhesion

Advantages

• Chemical etching ensures adhesion on galvanized surfaces
• Two-component — controlled and consistent etch
• Enables painting over difficult galvanized substrates
• Compatible with most topcoat systems
