Axalta Launches New Activator for Corlar 2.1 PR-P Epoxy Primer for its General Industrial Market

HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Axalta Coating Systems (NYSE: AXTA), a leading global supplier of liquid
and powder coatings, is pleased to announce an expansion to its Corlar^®
2.1 PR-P Epoxy Primer line with the introduction of FG-042 High Build
Activator. Ideal for general industrial, construction, fabrication and
oil and gas markets, the new activator gives users additional
flexibility to achieve higher film builds per coat for extra corrosion
protection.

“Axalta is excited to bring the new FG-042 activator to our fast growing
Corlar^® 2.1 PR-P Epoxy Primer product line,” said Ross
Morgan, Axalta Product Manager. “Customers have asked for this
additional capability and now users can get higher film builds where
that extra bit of corrosion protection is needed.”

Available in multiple colors, Corlar 2.1 PR-P products are highly
durable, VOC compliant, two-component, high solid epoxy primers that
deliver excellent chemical and corrosion resistance. This product line
is recommended for coatings on properly prepared carbon steel,
galvanized steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.

The other activators in the Corlar^® 2.1 PR-P product line are
the FG-040, a standard activator used on steel surfaces and the FG-041,
a low viscosity activator designed for use with plural component
systems, but with additional melt. The new FG-042 will give a higher
film build per coat, therefore doubling the normal films of the other
two activators in one coat to get the job done in less time.
