Plastinum Hydro Epoxy

WHEN WATER, PRESSURE & FAILURE ARE NOT AN OPTION

HIGH-PERFORMANCE EPOXY FOR WET & SUBMERGED CONDITIONS

Hydro Epoxy is a premium, hydrophilic, 100% solids epoxy designed for structural repairs in wet, submerged, and potable water environments. Where conventional epoxies fail, Hydro Epoxy delivers unmatched adhesion, strength, and durability.

Hydro Epoxy is a hydrophilic epoxy, which is a type of epoxy resin chemically designed to have a high affinity for water, allowing it to bond tenaciously to damp, wet, or even fully submerged substrates. While many traditional epoxies are hydrophobic (water-repelling) and will fail if moisture is present during application, Hydro Epoxy, being a hydrophilic version, actively displaces water from the surface at a microscopic level to create a powerful chemical bond

Certified to AS/NZS 4020:2018 for contact with drinking water, it is ideal for critical infrastructure and aggressive environments, including sewage and treatment plants.
