About the material

The intermediate layer in the coating system

Component A is an acrylic base with pigments and fillers; component B is a polyurethane hardener. The system description places this material between the epoxy primer and the decorative coats.

Material selection and the application process depend on the substrate, previous coats and service conditions. Request the current TU specification and instructions before use.

Purpose

Where the material is used

The list is based on the AKRYL presentation. Suitability for a specific project is confirmed through technical selection.

Railway vehicles

Exterior surfaces of passenger carriages, locomotives and multiple-unit rolling stock.

Preparation for enamel

Surface levelling in a system with the recommended primer, enamel and protective and decorative clearcoat.

Separate supply

The material can be requested separately. Its combination with other coatings must be agreed.

Preparation

What to check before application

Clarify the substrate

Identify the initial primer, surface condition and levelling requirements.

Prepare the 2K formulation

Mix the base and hardener at the ratio specified in the current TU specification before application.

Agree the intercoat conditions

Determine sanding, drying and enamel application using the procedure for the specific project.

Questions

What to clarify before ordering

Is this a standalone primer?

The presentation describes use over a previously primed surface and the possibility of a standalone coating. Confirm the specific procedure with the technologist.

How does it differ from the epoxy primer?

The epoxy primer is shown as the initial material on metal. The primer surfacer prepares the surface for enamel.

Is this the same product as '2K polyurethane primer'?

The presentation uses both names with the same TU specification and values. We do not claim a separate product grade without clarification of the range.

Which surface is the primer surfacer applied to?

In the tested system it follows the epoxy primer. The presentation also describes application to a surface previously primed with a polyurethane material; compatibility is checked for the specific procedure.

What are the application conditions?

The presentation specifies at least +10 °C, humidity no more than 80 %, and substrate temperature at least 3 °C above the dew point.

How long should you wait before sanding?

The presentation table specifies up to 18 h at 20 ± 2 °C and up to 6 h at 60 ± 2 °C. Check the project's conditions against the TU specification.

Can enamel be applied without this layer?

The VNIIZhT conclusion covers a four-material system with the primer surfacer. A different procedure must be evaluated separately.
