Primax Hi-Build Hydro Epoxy
Primax Two-Component Water-Based Epoxy Coating – Durable Chemical & Abrasion Resistant Protection
High-performance surfaces often need more than an ordinary decorative coating. Areas exposed to chemicals, abrasion, repeated use, and demanding service conditions require a coating system designed for stronger and more durable protection.
Primax Two-Component Water-Based Epoxy Coating is a high-performance epoxy system developed to provide excellent chemical resistance, high abrasion resistance, and strong substrate penetration while using water as its stated solvent type.
Supplied as a two-pack system consisting of Part (B) Base and Part (A) Activator, this coating combines the performance benefits of an epoxy system with a water-based formulation. It is available in a gloss transparent finish and can also be supplied in shades for projects where both protection and appearance are important.
High-Performance Protection with Water-Based Technology
Epoxy coatings are widely selected for surfaces that need stronger resistance to wear, abrasion, and chemical exposure. Primax Two-Component Water-Based Epoxy Coating is designed to provide these performance benefits while offering the convenience of a water-based system.
Its two-component chemistry allows the Base and Activator to work together after correct mixing, forming a durable protective coating over suitable prepared substrates.
Key Benefits
- Exceptional Chemical Resistance: Designed to resist chemical exposure under suitable service conditions.
- High Abrasion Resistance: Helps protect surfaces exposed to wear and repeated use.
- Excellent Substrate Penetration: Supports effective penetration into suitable prepared substrates.
- Water-Based Formulation: Uses water as the stated solvent type.
- Two-Component System: Supplied with separate Base and Activator components.
- Gloss Transparent Finish: Provides a clear glossy appearance and is also available in shades.
- Durable Protective Layer: Designed for long-lasting protection on suitable surfaces.
Why Choose a Two-Component Epoxy Coating?
A two-component epoxy coating contains separate materials that must be combined before application. Primax Two-Component Water-Based Epoxy Coating is supplied as:
- Part (B) – Base
- Part (A) – Activator
Correct proportioning and thorough mixing are important for achieving the intended coating performance. Once the two components are properly combined, the mixed material forms the working epoxy coating system.
The exact Base-to-Activator mixing ratio is not included in the supplied product information, so the current technical data sheet or product instructions should be followed before application.
Chemical Resistance
Ordinary coatings can be affected by chemical exposure, especially in demanding industrial and commercial environments. Primax Two-Component Water-Based Epoxy Coating is designed with exceptional chemical resistance as one of its key performance characteristics.
Actual chemical resistance may depend on the type of chemical, concentration, exposure time, temperature, coating thickness, curing conditions, and substrate preparation. For specialized chemical exposure, project-specific compatibility should be confirmed before use.
High Abrasion Resistance
Repeated friction, movement, and physical wear can reduce the life of conventional coatings. Primax Two-Component Water-Based Epoxy Coating offers high abrasion resistance, helping suitable surfaces withstand demanding service conditions more effectively.
Correct preparation, application thickness, mixing, and curing are important for achieving dependable abrasion-resistant performance.
Excellent Substrate Penetration
Strong interaction between the coating and substrate is important for overall system performance. Primax Two-Component Water-Based Epoxy Coating is designed to provide excellent substrate penetration when applied over a suitable, properly prepared surface.
The substrate should be clean, stable, and free from dust, grease, oil, loose material, and other contaminants that may affect coating performance.

Appearance & Finish
Primax Two-Component Water-Based Epoxy Coating is available in a gloss transparent finish. It is also available in shades, providing flexibility for projects where a coloured epoxy finish is required.
The final appearance can vary depending on substrate condition, number of coats, applied film thickness, application technique, curing conditions, and the selected shade.
Recommended Dry Film Thickness
The recommended dry film thickness is:
100–200 μ per coat
Maintaining the specified film thickness is important because excessive or insufficient coating thickness may affect the intended performance of the system.
Application Conditions
Environmental conditions can influence the application, drying, curing, and final performance of an epoxy coating.
The stated application conditions for Primax Two-Component Water-Based Epoxy Coating are:
- Temperature: 13–32°C (55–90°F)
- Relative Humidity: Below 75%
Application should be carried out within these specified conditions. Temperatures outside the recommended range or excessive humidity may affect coating behaviour and curing.
Surface Preparation
Proper surface preparation is essential for obtaining reliable performance from a high-performance epoxy coating.
- Remove dust, dirt, grease, oil, and other contamination.
- Remove loose or poorly adhering material.
- Repair weak, damaged, or unstable areas before application.
- Ensure the substrate is sound and suitable for the epoxy system.
- Prepare the surface according to the substrate and project requirements.
A detailed substrate preparation standard was not included in the supplied information, so project-specific requirements should be confirmed before application.
General Mixing Guidance
Because this is a two-component coating system, proper mixing of the Base and Activator is essential.
- Identify Part (B) Base and Part (A) Activator.
- Ensure both components are in suitable condition before mixing.
- Follow the exact product mixing ratio specified in the current technical instructions.
- Mix the components thoroughly until a uniform mixture is achieved.
- Make sure material around the sides and bottom of the container is properly incorporated.
- Apply the mixed coating according to the recommended working instructions.
The exact mixing ratio and pot life are not included in the supplied technical information and should be confirmed from the current product data sheet before use.
Common Application Mistakes to Avoid
- Incorrect Base-to-Activator ratio: Use the exact specified mixing ratio for the product.
- Incomplete mixing: Poor mixing can result in inconsistent coating performance.
- Applying outside the temperature range: The specified application temperature is 13–32°C.
- Applying above the recommended humidity: Relative humidity should remain below 75%.
- Applying over contaminated surfaces: Dust, oil, grease, and loose material can affect performance.
- Incorrect film thickness: Maintain the recommended 100–200 μ dry film thickness per coat.
- Ignoring pot life: The working time of the mixed coating should be confirmed before application.
