International Primocon Metal Primer Quart

International Primocon Metal Primer for Underwater Use

Primocon is a high-performance underwater metal primer designed to bond antifouling paint to bare metal hull surfaces. It provides excellent adhesion on aluminum, steel, and lead, creating a stable, compatible base coat that ensures your antifouling paint performs as intended. Whether you’re applying antifouling to a new aluminum hull or recoating a steel keel, Primocon is the correct first step before any antifouling topcoat.

• Excellent adhesion to bare and lightly corroded metal
• Compatible with a wide range of antifouling topcoats
• Prevents galvanic corrosion between metal hull and antifouling paint
• Single-component formula easy to apply by brush, roller, or spray
• Fast drying ready for antifouling topcoat application same day

Parts Desk Insights

Best use case: Primocon is essential when applying antifouling paint directly to a bare metal hull particularly aluminum, which requires a compatible primer to prevent galvanic reaction with copper-based antifouling paints. It is the recommended primer step before applying International or Interlux antifouling topcoats including Interlux Micron CSC and Interlux Micron 66. Do not skip the primer step on bare metal applying antifouling directly to aluminum without Primocon will result in poor adhesion and accelerated corrosion. One quart covers approximately 5060 sq ft per coat; two coats are recommended on bare metal.
