Axalta Industrial Modified Vinyl White Base Binder 4.8L – 17MVP-WBT-5 is a tintable base component used within the professional Axalta Modified Vinyl colour mixing system.

The White Base is designed to be tinted using Axalta Pro-Stain IM tinting components according to the relevant colour formulation.

The specified tint or combination of tints is accurately added to the White Base to produce the required finished colour. Once thoroughly mixed, the completed Modified Vinyl coating is ready for application in accordance with the current Axalta technical data.

Modified Vinyl, previously known as Stokes Modified Vinyl, is a single-pack vinyl anticorrosive primer/finish designed particularly for galvanised steel and suitably prepared steelwork. It can be applied to correctly degreased new galvanising without requiring a separate etch primer.

The finished coating provides a sheen / semi-gloss appearance, zinc phosphate anticorrosive protection, high moisture resistance and resistance to weak acids and alkalis.

This product is a White Base binder and must be tinted to the appropriate formula before use. It is not a 2K product and does not require a hardener.

Colour Mixing

Modified Vinyl White Base is a binder and must be tinted before use.

Add the appropriate Axalta Pro-Stain IM tinting components according to the required Axalta colour formula.

Depending on the colour being produced, the formulation may contain components such as:

  • Strong Black

  • Weak Black

  • White

  • Blue

  • Green

  • Red

  • Red Oxide

  • Yellow Oxide

  • Citron Yellow

  • Orange Yellow

  • Magenta

  • Other compatible Pro-Stain IM tinting components

Always accurately weigh each tint according to the relevant Axalta formulation.

Mixing Process

1. Modified Vinyl White Base Binder
Use the quantity of White Base specified by the colour formulation.

2. Add Pro-Stain IM Tint(s)
Add the specified Axalta Pro-Stain IM tinting components.

3. Mix Thoroughly
Mechanically mix until the tint components are fully incorporated and the colour is uniform.

4. Ready for Application
Modified Vinyl is a single-pack / 1K system, therefore no hardener is required.

Apply in accordance with the current Axalta Modified Vinyl technical data.
