SOLUTION
Solvent-Free, Wet & Rust Tolerant System

RS 500P is a solvent-free, wet & rust tolerant primer or primer-finish epoxy coating system. The system’s long-term performance is based on completely sealing the surface (porous-free film) and arresting the rust totally.
RA 500M is a solvent-free, wet tolerant and highly chemical resistant glassflake epoxy single/topcoat.
RS 500P and RA 500M combine to make a multi-functional, groundbreaking coating system which is perfectly suited to cargo holds and cargo tanks.
