PPG 09109000 GPR0 (1.32 US gal / 5 Ltr Can)

F580-2080 Epoxy Primer

Overview

F580-2080 Epoxy Primer is a two-component, conventional solids, strontium chromate-based epoxy primer developed by PPG Aerospace for interior and exterior aircraft applications. Designed for suitably pre-treated aluminium alloys, it provides long-term corrosion inhibition, excellent adhesion and fluid resistance while also being suitable for aircraft fuel tank applications. The primer is compatible with a wide range of aerospace topcoat systems and can also be incorporated into PPG's F565-4010 selectively strippable coating system.
