A new generation, high build water dispersed ceramic epoxy coating.
RECOMMENDED
Ideal for use as floor and wall coatings especially where solvent-based material is not desirable; for protection of surfaces againts dustin, solvent, chemical attack. Very hard and abrasion resistant replacing traditional solvent - based coating in food,glove, assembly plant, pharmaceutical, warehouse, garages, car parks and other important. Good anti carbonation properties making it suitable protective coating for road tunnels to incorporate with Dencil CD - a high reactive bactericide. AQUAREX 1001 NWB is the recommended product for hospital, clinics, food processing plant for it’s board range of antibacterial properies.

What is Water-based Epoxy Coating?
Water-based epoxy coating is a type of epoxy coating that uses water as the primary solvent instead of traditional solvents like volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It is a more environmentally friendly alternative to solvent-based epoxy coatings.
Water-based epoxy coatings are formulated using water as a carrier for the epoxy resin and other additives. When the coating is applied, the water evaporates, leaving behind a cured epoxy film. The curing process may involve a chemical reaction or crosslinking of the epoxy components.
Here are some key features and benefits of water-based epoxy coatings:
-
Low VOC Content: Water-based epoxy coatings have significantly lower VOC content compared to solvent-based coatings. This makes them safer to use and minimizes harmful emissions during application.
-
Environmentally Friendly: The reduced VOC emissions and use of water as a solvent make water-based epoxy coatings more environmentally friendly and compliant with stricter regulations on VOC emissions.
-
Easy Application and Cleanup: Water-based epoxy coatings are relatively easy to apply, and they can be cleaned up with water and mild detergents. This simplifies the application process and reduces the need for strong solvents or chemicals for cleanup.
-
Quick Drying Time: Water-based epoxy coatings generally have a faster drying time compared to solvent-based coatings. This allows for quicker turnaround times, minimizing downtime in commercial or industrial settings.
-
Good Adhesion and Durability: Water-based epoxy coatings offer good adhesion to various surfaces, including concrete, metal, and wood. They provide a durable and protective layer that is resistant to chemicals, abrasion, and impact.
Water-based epoxy coatings are commonly used in a range of applications, including residential, commercial, and industrial settings. They are often applied to concrete floors, walls, countertops, and other surfaces that require protection and enhanced aesthetics.
It's worth noting that water-based epoxy coatings may have different performance characteristics and limitations compared to solvent-based epoxy coatings. Proper surface preparation and application techniques are still crucial for achieving optimal results, and it is recommended to follow the manufacturer's instructions when using water-based epoxy coatings.
