COATGUARD 110

HIGH BUILD EPOXY PRIMER

High Build Epoxy Primer is a two-component, high-solids epoxy polyamide primer engineered to deliver superior adhesion, corrosion resistance, and durability on both concrete and metal surfaces. Specially developed for industrial and commercial environments, it serves as a reliable base coat for a wide range of protective and decorative coating systems.

Ideal for use in flooring, wall systems, tank linings, and structural steel applications, this high-build primer withstands harsh conditions such as chemical exposure, abrasion, and heavy traffic. Its excellent bonding properties make it the preferred choice for factories, warehouses, food processing facilities, and marine or oil & gas infrastructure.

Compatible with epoxy, polyurethane. High Build Epoxy Primer enhances system performance and extends service life — ensuring long-term protection and reduced maintenance costs.

❗LIMITATIONS: Not recommended for concrete less than one month, any unsound substrate, and substrate with moisture content exceeding 3% as per ASTM D4263, non-hardening sealants and caulking, form- release agents containing wax or oil. Silicone-coated surfaces, expansion joint, soluble stains, asphalt surfaces and areas where water seepage exists.

Application Guide

Surface Preparation

A. Concrete Substrates

    1. Inspect the Surface

        • Ensure concrete is cured for at least 28 days.

        • Check for moisture content; must be below 4% before priming.

  1. Remove Unstable Areas

        • Chip off any “kapak” (unbonded concrete toppings), loose aggregates, laitance, or surface contamination using mechanical means (grinder, chipping gun, or PCD tools).

        • All old paint, curing agents, or contaminants should be stripped using paint strippers or mechanical abrasion.

  2. Grinding & Profiling

      • Grind the surface using 25-grit diamond grinding tools to achieve a profiled, porous finish for better adhesion.

  3. Repair Deep Cracks and Holes

      • Prior to primer application, fill and level deep holes, cavities, or cracks using Coatguard 702 Heavy Duty Epoxy Grout.

      • Allow Coatguard 702 to cure completely before applying primer.

  4. Final Cleaning

      • Vacuum all dust, debris, and loose particles thoroughly. Surface must be dry, clean, and free from any oil or moisture before primer application.


B. Metal Substrates

    1. Rust and Coating Removal

      • Abrasive blast to SSPC-SP10 / NACE No. 2 (Near-White Metal) standard.

      • If blasting is unavailable, power tool clean to SSPC-SP11 standard.

  1. Surface Profile

      • Achieve a profile of 40–75 microns (1.5–3.0 mils).

  2. Cleaning

      • Wipe surfaces with solvent degreaser (e.g., xylene or acetone).

    • Prime immediately to avoid flash rusting.


Mixing Instructions

  • Mix Part A and Part B as per specifications (refer to product label or TDS).

  • Use pre-measured kits for easy and accurate mixing:

    • 1:1 Kit – Both cans (e.g., 1 gallon each) are half-filled. Pour Part B into Part A and mix directly.

    • 1:3 Kit – One gallon of Part A is 2/3 full; pour entire quart of Part B into it and mix thoroughly.

  • Mix mechanically at low speed for 2–3 minutes until uniform.


Paint Application Instructions

  1. Mask Off Unpainted Areas

    • Use painter’s tape or masking film to protect baseboards, drains, equipment edges, and adjacent surfaces.

    • Cover nearby areas with plastic sheets to prevent accidental splatter.

  2. Plan Your Exit

    • Always start painting from the side opposite the exit to avoid painting yourself into a corner.

  3. Application Methods

    • Apply using a roller, brush, or airless spray.

    • Work in small, manageable sections and maintain a wet edge to prevent visible lap marks (streaks or uneven buildup from overlapping dried sections).

    • Do not stop mid-way in large open areas—finish full passes to maintain uniformity.

  4. Environmental Conditions

    • Ensure application is within recommended temperature and humidity ranges (refer to TDS).

  5. Ventilation & PPE

    • Ensure proper airflow. Wear gloves, goggles, and respirators during application.


Next Coating Window

  • Minimum: 3-4 hours at 25°C

  • Maximum: 24 hours

  • If exceeded, clean with vacuum and mop the area, wait till dry before application.
