Primax Hi-Build Chlorinated Rubber Paint
Primax Chlorinated Rubber Paint – Protective Coating for Demanding Environments
Some surfaces are exposed to far more demanding conditions than ordinary decorative areas. Chemicals, dampness, mould, moisture, and industrial environments can quickly affect conventional coatings if the wrong paint system is used.
Primax Chlorinated Rubber Paint is a high-performance protective coating developed for surfaces exposed to chemicals, dampness, and mould. Its chlorinated rubber resin-based formulation makes it suitable for a wide range of challenging industrial, commercial, marine, and institutional applications.
The product can be applied on suitable wood, steel, plaster, concrete, and brickwork surfaces, providing a practical protective finish where durability and resistance to demanding conditions are important.
Why Choose Primax Chlorinated Rubber Paint?
In areas exposed to chemicals, moisture, or persistent damp conditions, surface protection becomes especially important. Primax Chlorinated Rubber Paint is designed to create a protective coating over correctly prepared substrates, helping the surface perform more reliably in difficult service environments.

- Remove loose or poorly adhering previous coatings.
- Prepare the steel surface according to the condition of the substrate.
- Ensure the surface is dry and stable before application.
Concrete, Plaster & Brickwork
- Remove dust, loose particles, weak material, and surface contamination.
- Repair damaged or unstable areas before coating.
- Ensure the substrate is adequately dry and sound.
- Remove mould or other contamination before application.
Wood Surfaces
- Ensure the wood is clean, dry, and stable.
- Remove dirt, grease, loose coatings, and surface contamination.
- Sand rough or uneven areas where required.
- Remove sanding dust before application.

Drying & Recoat Time
Under normal conditions, Primax Chlorinated Rubber Paint has the following drying characteristics:
- Touch Dry: 30–40 minutes
- Recoat: 6–8 hours
Actual drying time may vary according to temperature, humidity, ventilation, film thickness, application method, and substrate condition.
Coverage
The expected coverage is approximately 10–12 m² per litre per coat under normal conditions.
Actual coverage may vary depending on surface roughness, porosity, application method, coating thickness, and material loss during application.
Equipment Cleanup
Clean brushes, rollers, spray equipment, and other application tools with Primax Chlorinated Rubber Thinner or NC Thinner immediately after use.
Prompt cleaning helps prevent coating material from drying inside application equipment.
Common Application Mistakes to Avoid
- Applying over damp or contaminated surfaces: Moisture, dirt, grease, and loose material can affect coating performance.
