Using this specific product
WEG W-Poxi ERP 30 is listed here as the Epoxy primer version for primers. For coating steel or industrial surfaces, the useful question is not simply whether the surface looks finished—it is whether the exact next-action milestone shown above has been reached.
Before you start
- Confirm the package says Epoxy primer; related versions can use different timing.
- For primers, pay particular attention to surface preparation, film thickness, temperature, dew point and pot life.
- Values are for 25°C (77°F). The sheet also lists 10°C and 35°C columns. 35 minutes at 10°C and 15 minutes at 35°C. 15 hours at 10°C and 90 minutes at 35°C. 72 hours at 10°C and 36 hours at 35°C. 15 hours at 10°C and 3 hours at 35°C. 216 hours at 10°C and 144 hours at 35°C.
How to check readiness
Check dry film thickness and the recoat window before the next coat. The sheet gives a pot life of 8 hours. Touch only a hidden edge first; a dry surface can conceal a soft layer underneath. Lift or move the item gently and avoid twisting the bond or pressing finished faces together.
Avoid this mistake
Recoat windows can close; past the maximum, abrading is usually required.
