AQUADUR is a two-component, water based, epoxy coating. It has a track record of more than 20 years of successful use as primer for the HYPERDESMO® line of products, as well as other ALCHIMICA polyurethane based products. It is certified as “Class III” water and humidity barrier, which makes it ideal for applications subject to negative pressure / rising humidity.

Application in thin coats only. Apply with roller in one or two coats with total consumption of 150-200 gr/m².

Use as:

• Primer in applications with rising humidity / negative pressure (tanks, pools, foundations etc.)
• Primer for other systems, e.g. epoxy or polyurethane based, cementitious
• Sealing coat for concrete
• Adhesive layer between old and new concrete
• Water / humidity barrier

Recoat time cannot be determined in terms of hours since it is highly dependent on weather conditions: It can be as low as 5 hours during summer and as high as 24 hours during winter. Use the following rule of thumb to determine when recoating should take place. Recoat (with AQUADUR or HYPERDESMO®) once the colour on the current coat goes from milky white to transparent. Also, check that the current coat has hardened to the degree where it can no longer be punctured by finger nail.

• Do not exceed the stated consumption numbers, as this will affect adversely its adhesion and durability.

• Pot life of mixture is 1-hour maximum at 25° C.

• Do not apply when temperature is below 12° C.

• Hot concrete should be wetted before application.
