Two-component, high build, 100% solids, chemical resistant epoxy coating specifically formulated for underwater applications while also delivering excellent performance on wet and dry substrates. It is suitable for use on concrete, wood, or steel.
Five Star ARMX DeepGuard UW Light Gray is a two-component, high-build epoxy coating formulated for underwater application and use on wet or dry substrates. This fiber-reinforced, 100% solids coating provides chemical, abrasion, and corrosion resistance on concrete, steel, and wood surfaces. DeepGuard UW is well suited for marine structures, concrete tanks, secondary containment areas, and process equipment supports that require a durable, low-permeability protective coating.

What is Five Star ARMX DeepGuard UW used for?
It is used as a protective epoxy coating on underwater, wet, or dry concrete, steel, and wood surfaces, including marine piles, tanks, secondary containment areas, and equipment supports.
Can DeepGuard UW be applied underwater?
Yes. It is specifically formulated for underwater applications and is designed to adhere to submerged, wet, and dry surfaces.
How much area does one 2 gallon unit cover?
One unit covers approximately 106 square feet when applied at a wet film thickness of 30 mils.
How is DeepGuard UW applied?
It may be applied using a stiff-bristle brush, squeegee, trowel, or sponge. The coating should be worked firmly into defects from multiple directions to displace trapped air.
What is the mixing ratio?
Component A resin and Component B hardener are mixed at a 1:1 ratio by volume. Both components should be premixed separately before combining.
How long is the working time after mixing?
The pot life is approximately 40 minutes at 77 Degrees F. Only mix the amount that can be placed within that time.
How soon can the coated surface return to service?
Foot traffic may begin after approximately 24 hours and forklift traffic after approximately 48 hours, assuming proper curing conditions.
