Acqua Primer
Water-based epoxy primer, of ultra-low VOC emissions.
Qualified for use in LEED projects globally, by showing compliance with the specifications for VOC content (<1g/l) and VOC emissions, achieving the highest classification in terms of TVOC emissions (<0,5mg/m3). Classified in the highest emission class A+ with respect to VOC emissions in interior areas.
Fields of application
- Floors and walls which will be covered with resinous systems or coatings (Epoxol®, Neopox®, Neodur®)
- Floors, walls and joints prior to sealing them with epoxy repairing materials Epoxol® Putty and Epoxol® Liquid for adhesion improvement
- As an anti-dust sealer on old or new cement-based surfaces which require stabilization
Properties – Advantages
- May be applied on substrates with increased moisture content (e.g. cementitious substrates with humidity up to 8%, without rising moisture)
- Excellent adhesion on various construction surfaces, e.g., concrete, plaster, gypsum boards, etc.
- Practically zero content in volatile organic compounds (Zero-VOC), combined with ultra-low VOC emissions
- Contributes to the optimization of indoor air quality: A+ acc. to the French legislation requirements
- Complies with the strict VOC requirements for sustainable buildings, according to LEED guidelines
- Presents high hardness and very good abrasion and chemical resistance
- Ideal for stabilization and sealing of cementitious and various others porous substrates, preventing dust generation
