Five Star ARMX DeepGuard UW is a two-component, high-build, 100% solids epoxy coating for underwater, wet, and dry concrete, steel, and wood.
Five Star ARMX DeepGuard UW is a two-component, high-build, 100% solids epoxy coating formulated for underwater application on wet or dry substrates. Fiber reinforcement helps it stay in place for diver work on concrete, steel, and wood. Use it on marine piles, tanks, and secondary containment where dewatering is not practical, including splash-zone and fully submerged steel.

Can Five Star ARMX DeepGuard UW be applied underwater without a cofferdam?
Yes. Five Star ARMX DeepGuard UW is a high-build, 100 percent solids epoxy coating formulated for underwater application on concrete, wood, or steel, including when dewatering is not practical.
When should a contractor pick Five Star ARMX DeepGuard UW instead of Five Star ARMX DeepGuard WS?
Pick Five Star ARMX DeepGuard UW for underwater, high-build marine coating work. Use Five Star ARMX DeepGuard WS on wet, damp, or dry surfaces above the waterline where a thinner 8 to 16 mil film can be rolled, brushed, or sprayed.
What structures is Five Star ARMX DeepGuard UW used on?
Five Star ARMX DeepGuard UW is used on marine piles and structures, concrete tanks, secondary containment, and process equipment supports and pads.
Is Five Star ARMX DeepGuard UW fiber-reinforced?
Yes. Five Star ARMX DeepGuard UW is fiber-reinforced and anti-corrosive so the film resists chipping, cracking, abrasion, and chemicals.
When can foot traffic go on Five Star ARMX DeepGuard UW?
At 77 F, Five Star ARMX DeepGuard UW is typically ready for foot traffic in 24 hours and forklift traffic in 48 hours.
Does Five Star ARMX DeepGuard UW bond to wet steel as well as dry steel?
Yes. Five Star ARMX DeepGuard UW is made for underwater, wet, and dry substrates. Typical adhesion to wet steel is over 2,000 psi and to dry steel over 3,300 psi when tested to ASTM D4541.
