Waterborne Epoxy Zinc-RichPrimer
KF-WZ500 Water-Based Epoxy Zinc-Rich Primer
KF-WZ500 Waterborne Epoxy Zinc-Rich Primer is based on waterborne epoxy resin and waterborne curing agent, with ultrafine zinc powder content greater than 70%. It uses water as thinner, with VOC approaching zero, making it environmentally friendly. The coating provides excellent cathodic protection and anti-rust performance, with salt spray resistance greater than 2000h. It is an environmentally friendly upgrade solution for solvent-based epoxy zinc-rich primers. Widely used in environmentally friendly heavy-duty anti-corrosion coating for steel structures, bridges, wind power, petrochemical and other industries.
ProductsOverview
Waterborne Epoxy Zinc-Rich Primer is a heavy-duty anti-corrosion coating designed by KeXin New Material in accordance with ISO 12944 standards. It is scientifically formulated with high-quality resins and high-performance anti-rust pigments, offering excellent anti-corrosion performance and adhesion. Widely used for protective coating in heavy-duty anti-corrosion fields such as steel structures, bridges, petrochemicals, and ships.
The product has passed rigorous salt spray testing (>1000h) and adhesion testing (>5MPa), and with a complete base-intermediate-topcoat system, it can provide long-lasting protection for 15-25 years. Kexin provides free coating design solutions and technical support services.
Why choose waterborne epoxy zinc-rich primer?
CoreAdvantages
Zinc content >70% · Cathodic protection
Ultrafine spherical zinc powder (particle size 3-5 microns) content greater than 70% ensures electrical contact between zinc particles. The coating provides reliable cathodic protection (sacrificial anode) to prevent steel corrosion. Salt spray resistance greater than 2000h, rust creep at scribe less than 2mm. Anti-rust performance comparable to solvent-based epoxy zinc-rich primers.
Waterborne and eco-friendly · Zero VOC
Uses water as thinner, VOC approaching zero. Odorless, workers do not need to wear gas masks. Non-flammable and non-explosive, storage and transportation do not require hazardous chemical qualifications. Certified by HJ2537 China Environmental Labeling and Green Coating Product Certification. Helps enterprises reduce VOC emissions and achieve green manufacturing.
Primer and topcoat compatibility · Full waterborne system
Compatible with waterborne epoxy micaceous iron oxide intermediate coat and waterborne polyurethane topcoat to form a full waterborne heavy-duty anti-corrosion coating system. For C3-C4 corrosion environments, total dry film thickness of 280 microns, design life greater than 15 years. Can replace solvent-based three-coat systems to achieve environmental friendliness throughout the coating process.

Frequently AskedFAQ
ApplicationProcess
Surface preparation
Clean substrates thoroughly of oil and rust. Blast steel to Sa2.5. Pre-treat per product spec to keep the substrate clean. Ambient 5-40°C, relative humidity<85%。
Primer / pre-treatment
Select the matching primer or pre-treatment per substrate and system. Mix strictly at the stated ratio and control DFT. Proceed after the primer dries; pre-stripe critical areas.
Main-coat application
Apply the main coat per the process spec, strictly controlling DFT, temperature/humidity and flash-off to keep the film uniform without sagging or pinholes.
Curing process
Cure fully by stoving or by ambient air drying as the product requires. Keep oven temperature uniform within ±5°C and ramp up gradually to avoid coating defects. For ambient-curing grades, ensure adequate ventilation and suitable humidity.
Inspection & acceptance
Inspect all parameters: dry film thickness, adhesion, gloss, colour difference and chemical resistance. Full performance testing is carried out against the relevant standards. Only after everything passes are the test report and warranty issued, and the goods are packed and shipped in dust-free conditions.
