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.

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.

Professional coating technology support services

Kexin has an experienced coating R&D and application team providing full-process support — from substrate analysis, coating selection and process-parameter optimization to on-site application guidance.

Eco-compliant green manufacturing system

Frequently AskedFAQ

Which substrates does it suit?+
Suitable for sandblasting and rust removal up to Sa2.5 grade on carbon steel and cast iron surfaces. The substrate must be free of oil, rust, and old paint; a roughness of Rz40-75μm is optimal.
Why can't it be left exposed?+
Epoxy is not UV-resistant and chalks under long exposure. It must be paired with an epoxy MIO intermediate coat and a weather-resistant topcoat to form a complete system.
Which primer or topcoat completes the system?+
We recommend using a matching primer and topcoat from the same Kexin series to secure system compatibility and best performance. A Kexin engineer can design a complete primer-midcoat-topcoat system for your specific service conditions, free of charge.
How to get samples and a quote?+
Free samples of standard products are provided (freight at the customer's cost), supplied with TDS and MSDS documentation. For bulk purchases please contact 400-901-0757 or 13531350189. Sample quantity from 1 kg; bulk orders from 20 kg.
How do I pick the right grade for my operating conditions?+
Choosing a coating product requires considering the substrate type, the service environment (temperature / humidity / chemical media), the required corrosion protection class (ISO 12944 C1-C5M), the application conditions and the budget. We recommend contacting our technical engineer on 400-901-0757 for professional selection advice; free trial spraying and test verification are supported.
What is the MOQ and lead time?+
Samples from 1 kg; regular products from 20 kg per batch. Stock items ship within 48 hours, made-to-order products in 3-7 working days. Door delivery can be arranged within the Pearl River Delta region.

ApplicationProcess

1

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%。

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.

5

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.
