WTR-Prime’s specialized chemistry ensures strong adhesion across porcelain, ceramic, fiberglass, acrylic, cast iron, and laminate surfaces, making it the ideal choice for demanding refinishing applications. Its superior substrate compatibility means consistent, long-lasting refinishing results, even on difficult surfaces where traditional primers fail. 

Designed by Zen-Tek Coatings to increase efficiency without sacrificing quality, WTR-Prime features fast recoat times, allowing professionals to accelerate project turnaround without compromising durability. Whether used in bathroom refinishing, tile reglazing, or commercial applications, WTR-Prime ensures a seamless, high-performance base for topcoat adhesion, maximizing the lifespan of refinished surfaces

Speed up your workflow with WTR-Prime™'s 30-minute recoat time and one-hour topcoat application. This wb epoxy primer allows you to finish jobs faster, reduce downtime, and take on more projects, increasing overall profitability.

With water, chemical, and abrasion resistance, WTR-Prime™ is the ideal water-based bathtub primer for high-use areas. It prevents chipping, peeling, and premature failure, ensuring your refinishing work lasts longer and keeps customers satisfied.

Unlike other water-based tile primers, WTR-Prime™ requires no reducers or extra additives. Just mix at a simple 1:1 ratio and apply—it’s that easy, whether you're working on a wb tub primer, wb shower primer, or commercial refinishing project.

WTR-Prime™ is a high-performance wb primer that creates a strong, lasting bond on bathtubs, tiles, and showers, ensuring the topcoat won’t peel or lift. Even in high-moisture areas, this water-based epoxy primer prevents failure, reducing costly callbacks and touch-ups.

Unlike traditional primers, WTR-Prime™ is a low-VOC, odor-free epoxy primer water based, making it the perfect choice for hotels, hospitals, and apartment projects. Refinishers can work indoors without overwhelming clients or disrupting businesses, ensuring a smooth refinishing experience.

Water-Based Bathtub Primer

Bathtub refinishing demands a primer that ensures long-term adhesion and moisture resistance. Zen-Tek Coatings’ WTR-Prime™ excels as a water-based tub primer, creating a sealed, stable foundation for topcoat application. Professionals rely on it when clients require a wb bathtub primer that meets strict odor and VOC regulations without compromising durability.

Cabinet Epoxy Primer & Laminate Refinishing

Refinish and repaint cabinets with confidence. Prime-X acts as a strong adhesion primer for wood, laminate, and composite surfaces, preventing peeling and lifting. Whether you’re tackling kitchen cabinet refinishing or furniture restoration, this cabinet refinishing primer provides a smooth, professional-grade base.

Water-Based Shower Primer

Shower refinishing requires a primer built to handle humidity and water exposure. WTR-Prime™ is the preferred wb shower primer for fiberglass, acrylic, and tile applications, delivering a strong foundation that won’t crack or peel over time.

Commercial Water-Based Bathroom Primer

Refinishers working on hotels, hospitals, and rental properties need a reliable, odor-free solution that meets regulatory requirements. WTR-Prime™ is the ideal water-based bathtub primer for projects where low VOCs and minimal disruption are critical.

Achieving optimal wb primer performance requires meticulous surface preparation:

1. Remove all contaminants, including silicone, soap residue, oils and release agents
2. Create appropriate surface profile through mechanical or chemical preparation
3. Neutralize any etching compounds and thoroughly rinse substrate
4. Ensure complete drying before WTR-Prime™ application
   

Surface Preparation Excellence

To maximize WTR-Prime™ wb epoxy primer performance:

1. Thoroughly agitate individual components before combining
2. Mix at prescribed 1:1 ratio until completely homogeneous
3. Apply using appropriate technique for project requirements
4. Allow minimum 30-minute curing between primer coats
5. Proceed with topcoat application after recommended one-hour curing period
