Waterborne Acrylic Primer

Performance and Uses

This product is an eco-friendly, single-component anti-rust primer formulated with waterborne acrylic resin as the base material, complemented with anti-rust pigments/fillers, functional additives, and deionized water. It features fast drying times and outstanding weather resistance.

  • Excellent Anti-Rust & Sealing Performance: The paint film exhibits strong adhesion, good sealing properties, and superior corrosion prevention, effectively blocking moisture and air to prevent substrate oxidation and rusting.

  • Eco-Friendly & Safe: Waterborne formula, non-toxic, odorless, non-flammable, and non-explosive. It ensures safe storage, transportation, and easy application via clean water thinning.

  • Outstanding Weather & UV Resistance: Highly resistant to ultraviolet radiation. Long-term outdoor exposure will not cause easy chalking or discoloration, making it ideal for protecting exterior steel structures.

  • High Application Tolerance: Offers great film-forming properties at low temperatures, fast drying speeds, and highly convenient touch-up or maintenance procedures.

Applications

Suitable for anti-rust priming in mildly to moderately corrosive environments on outdoor steel structures, guardrails, billboards, mechanical equipment, metal components, and ventilation ducts. It is widely used for the general anti-corrosive coating of civil steel structures, municipal facilities, and engineering machinery.

Surface Preparation

  • The steel substrate surface must be clean, dry, and completely free of oil stains, dust, mill scale, and loose rust. Cleanliness should reach at least St3 grade using power-tool cleaning.

  • When overcoating existing coatings, the old film must be abraded and roughened to eliminate chalked or loose paint layers. Clean thoroughly before primer application.

Application Conditions

  • Temperature & Humidity: The application temperature range is 5 ~ 40°C with a relative humidity (RH) below 80%. The substrate surface temperature must be at least 3°C above the dew point.

  • Constraints: Humidity levels must not be excessively high, as high-humidity environments easily induce flash rusting. Outdoor application is strictly prohibited during rain, snow, heavy fog, or severe wind and sandstorms.

  • Sub-Zero Warning: The application ambient temperature must never fall below 0°C. Low temperatures will cause latex emulsion breakage (phase separation), rendering the coating ruined and unusable.

Coating System Compatibility

  • Subsequent Coats (Topcoats): Waterborne Alkyd Topcoat, Waterborne Acrylic Topcoat, or standard solvent-borne Alkyd Topcoat.

Packaging Specifications

Storage

  • Store this product in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated indoor warehouse. Ensure protection against freezing.

  • The storage temperature range must be maintained between 5°C and 30°C. The shelf life is one year under standard temperature conditions.

Safety Precautions

  • This product is a waterborne coating and is non-flammable. Maintain good ventilation throughout the application site.

  • Applicators must wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent inhalation of paint mist and avoid contact with eyes or skin.

  • If paint contacts the skin, wash immediately with fresh water and soap. If it splashes accidentally into the eyes, rinse continuously with a large volume of water and seek immediate medical attention.

Disclaimer

  • The protective performance of any coating largely depends on application factors. Surface preparation and film thickness will directly affect the service life of the coating. Users must ensure compliance with the specified application conditions.
