C-COAT PCSE – Solvent Etching Primer
C-COAT PCSE is a solvent-based etching primer from C-Coat, formulated to chemically key into non-ferrous and hard-to-adhere substrates before the application of topcoat or thermal insulating coating systems. The etching action creates a reactive bond with the surface, delivering superior adhesion where water-based primers are less effective.

Applications
C-COAT PCSE is used as a preparatory primer on substrates that require chemical etching for adequate adhesion, including aluminium, galvanised steel, and other non-ferrous metals. It suits industrial, marine, and commercial projects where a C-Coat thermal insulating or protective topcoat will be applied over a difficult substrate.
Frequently asked questions
What is the purpose of an etching primer?
An etching primer uses reactive components in a solvent carrier to chemically bond with the substrate surface, providing a mechanical and chemical key that improves adhesion of subsequent coating layers.
When should PCSE be used instead of a water-based primer?
PCSE suits non-ferrous metals such as aluminium and galvanised steel, where water-based primers may not achieve sufficient adhesion without surface etching.
Can C-COAT PCSE be applied by roller?
Yes. PCSE can be applied by airless spray, brush, or roller, allowing use across a range of site conditions.
