VOC Compliant Wash Primer

Abstract

DOD-P-15328 Wash Primer is a unique coating that passivates metal surfaces against corrosion and enhances adhesion of primers/topcoats. However, the chromate and high solvent content subject it to strict EPA regulations. This report evaluated a waterborne substitute with the desired properties. Laboratory evaluations revealed a film softening effect when topcoated with solvent type epoxy primers due to trapped solvents in the wash primer.
