Product description

Good maintenance of your boat, ship or yacht is essential for years of trouble-free enjoyment. International Primocon has been specially developed for boats, ships and yachts. It is a quick-drying primer for sealing and protecting bare surfaces below the waterline. This is why International Primocon is an indispensable product in our range.

International Primocon Primer is a one-component primer for underwater hulls. It is ideal as an adhesion primer, sealer or tie coat when the existing antifouling is unknown or incompatible. The primer is tar-free, easy to apply, and quick-drying. Thanks to its anti-corrosive properties, Primocon is suitable for a wide range of substrates, including aluminium, GRP (gelcoat), lead, steel, wood, carbon fibre, and cast iron. Primocon is widely used by professional boatyards and is equally suitable for DIY boat owners thanks to its ease of application.

Tip: if you have a GRP (polyester) boat and want to protect it against osmosis, we recommend applying five coats of International Gelshield 200 as an epoxy primer for the underwater hull.
