Propeller Primer Red

International's Propeller Primer is a quick drying, one part primer that is specially formulated for use on outdrives, outboard legs, propellers and stern gear. Suitable for use below the waterline, the water based, low odour primer can easily be applied with a brush and has excellent adhesion properties to a range of underwater metals including aluminium, zinc, galvanised steel, bronze and stainless steel.

Combine with International antifouling to form a unified coating system that resists dynamic and cavitation forces to protect propellers and underwater metals from fouling build up.
