1. Product description

Rayson HydroShield WE45 is a two-component, water-based epoxy primer-and-topcoat system for concrete, screed, asphalt and metal — covering duties from warehouse floors to rubbish chute coatings.

HydroShield WE45 extends the water-based HydroShield seal-coat approach across a wider set of duties: warehouse flooring, production floors, car park decks and rubbish chute coatings. Like WE40, it is self-priming — the first coat primes, the following coats finish — so one product covers the whole build-up.

2. Recommended uses

  • Coloured seal coats on cementitious screeds
  • Warehouse flooring and production floors in normal to medium-heavy exposure
  • Rubbish chute coatings
  • Car park deck coatings
  • Self-priming primer-and-topcoat systems on new and existing concrete

3. Suitable substrates

  • New and existing concrete (minimum 28 days old, moisture content below 5%)
  • Cementitious screeds, including highly absorbent substrates
  • Asphalt
  • Metal (mechanically prepared)
  • Dry or damp surfaces (no standing water)

4. Key properties

  • Self-priming primer-and-topcoat in one product
  • Handles demanding details including rubbish chute coatings
  • Water-based and suitable for unventilated areas
  • Applies to dry or damp surfaces with excellent adhesion
  • Low odour

Vacuum all dust. New concrete should be at least 28 days old.
