Epicon DSP
High Performance Surface Primer

Epicon DSP is a solvent free adhesion promoter for use in difficult conditions where a more conventional primer may not give adequate
performance, providing a moisture barrier tack coat to green or damp concrete and as an excellent anti-corrosion protection primer for
steel.
