Maximize Protection with Hempel Epoxy Zinc Rich Primer 171CE

In the demanding world of industrial and marine coatings, long-lasting corrosion protection is non-negotiable. Enter Hempel's Epoxy Zinc Rich Primer 171CE, a high-performance, solvent-based coating engineered to provide superior sacrificial protection for steel substrates. Manufactured in Kunshan, this primer stands as a testament to Hempel's legacy of quality and innovation in the protective coatings industry.

The core strength of Hempel 171CE lies in its high zinc content, which acts as a sacrificial anode, offering cathodic protection to the underlying steel. This means the zinc preferentially corrodes, effectively shielding the steel from rust and degradation even if the coating is slightly damaged. With a high total solids content of ≥66±2%, it ensures a thick, durable film build in fewer coats, enhancing productivity and cost-efficiency on any project.

Productivity is further boosted by its practical dry time of approximately 3 hours, allowing for faster recoating and project turnaround. The primer exhibits excellent water resistance, making it perfectly suited for environments exposed to moisture, splash zones, and atmospheric conditions. Available in a standard Red Grey / 19830 shade, it provides a reliable base for a wide range of topcoat systems.

As a non-dangerous chemical product and a locally manufactured solution in China, Hempel 171CE simplifies logistics and procurement. Beyond the product itself, Hempel offers added value through expert technical guidance, ensuring optimal surface preparation, application, and compatibility with subsequent coats for a flawless, long-lasting finish.

Choosing Hempel Epoxy Zinc Rich Primer 171CE is an investment in unparalleled corrosion defense. It combines the trusted Hempel Old Man brand reliability with robust performance specs—high solids, fast drying, and excellent water resistance—delivering a proven solution for infrastructure, marine, and industrial assets that require maximum durability and protection against the elements.
