Magna Prime Chemical Technologies, Inc.

Magna Prime Chemical Technologies, Inc. is one of the Philippines’ leading construction chemical companies that provides different construction chemical products from waterproofing, sealants and adhesives, tiling, finishing, flooring, protective coating, up to innovative paint products.

Aligning with the then ongoing test kitchen of DTC Promos Inc., a renowned marketing and activations company in the country, Magna Prime presented on July 18, 2025, some of its best products, such as antimicrobial paints and antislip flooring, from Sinclair and Buildrite. It gathered chefs, restaurant owners, and contractors — some of those coming from Allied Metals Inc. and Kitchenline Enterprises OPC — to talk about what would make an ideal test kitchen from both an architectural and culinary perspective.

Magna Prime for Kitchens and Commissaries

Food facilities have unique demands. They’re cleaned constantly, exposed to high moisture levels, and disgustingly vulnerable to mold and bacterial growth.

Surface materials in these environments aren’t superficial like in home kitchens that we only use to place bowls for whisking eggs. Commercial kitchen countertops are basically plates, which means they need serious attention from building to maintenance, and even in monitoring that they remain durable for all the cooking to come.

This kind of difference makes commercial kitchens a whole new world; you have to be extra careful and crazy hygienic so as to prevent getting dirt in your food.

With the vast selection of Magna Prime’s construction materials, the brand makes it the rational choice for anyone’s construction needs. In this context, however, some of its products exhibit intention for specific needs — such as in kitchens, commissaries, food laboratories, and even hospitals and bathrooms.

One of the best Magna Prime products developed for these kinds of high-demand environments was the Blocktite XTR, a hygienic coating with high-heat resistance. Then there’s also the Floortek Polycoat Mortar MD, a 3-5 millimeter self-leveling polyurethane that prevents microbial and fungal growth. It’s impact-resistant, abrasion-resistant, chemical-resistant, and designed for heavy traffic areas with its antislip finish. It can also withstand temperatures ranging from -15 to 90 degrees celsius, which makes it great for both cold and hot temperatures.

The top two features you should look for when building a kitchen or any facility that is in any way sensitive are antimicrobial and antislip. Magna Prime has just the right products for this.

Buildrite StopSlip Grip

Buildrite StopSlip Grip is a modified polyurethane (PU) anti-slip floor coating designed for high performance and abrasion resistance. Applied as a thin-film coating, it is suitable for medium-duty traffic areas that require enhanced slip resistance such as stairways, corridors, and fire exits.

This topcoat has a micro-grit texture that creates grip without causing discomfort under the foot. It’s quick-drying and has low-VOC, so it’s safe for homes and commercial spaces. VOC stands for Volatile Organic Compound; these are organic chemicals found in solvent-based and water-based liquids, such as paint and coatings, which vaporize and enter the atmosphere. Its purpose is to help paint glide smoothly onto surfaces, but when inhaled (too much), it can cause many negative health effects. That’s why you’d want to be looking for little to no VOC content in your paint or coat materials.

To apply, just roll or brush onto a clean, dry surface. Once cured, you already have a tough, scratch-resistant finish that resists wear and everyday cleaning agents. An invisible upgrade that makes a visible difference!

Features and Benefits:
• Better anti-slip grip
• Durable and excellent color retention
• Low odor and non-toxic
• Excellent adhesion on surfaces
• Non-flammable

Recommended for floors, porch, decks, patio, steps, hallway, and other floor applications.

Buildrite Klaro

Klaro is a sealant specialized in waterproofing tile grouts and porous surfaces. Like StopSlip Grip, it is also transparent and water-based so it doesn’t interfere with the appearance of your flooring. It can penetrate deep into fine cracks and fill micro gaps to form an invisible barrier against moisture, oils, and grime.

This is great for tiled kitchen floors, backsplashes, and bathroom surfaces, as it can prevent mold and mildew growth, not just preserving hygiene but also extending tile life. Because it is breathable, it also allows trapped moisture to escape while protecting the surface from water ingress.

Klaro’s low-odor and non-toxic formulation makes it safe for enclosed indoor spaces and food-prep zones. It adds long-term protection in a single coat, keeping your tiled surfaces cleaner, safer, and easier to maintain.

Features and Benefits:
• Safe to use
• Surface is ready to walk on immediately after treatment
• Single treatment makes tiles non-slip for years
• Can be reapplied as often as necessary
• Fast acting and easy to apply

Recommended for shower rooms, bathrooms, porcelain bathtubs, and other floor tiles that are exceptionally slippery when wet.

Sinclair Dr. Paint

Now, Magna Prime really hit it off with this one. In partnership with BASF, a global leader in chemical manufacturing, Magna Prime developed the Philippines’ first antimicrobial and anti-COVID paint: Dr. Paint.

Sinclair Dr. Paint employs IO-Hybrid antimicrobial technology, an alkaline-enriched micro-pore system that denatures proteins and reduces viral and bacterial activity. It shows laboratory activity against EV71 (HFMD), H3N2 (Influenza A), Human coronavirus 229E, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli, with retained efficacy after one year of film storage.

Dr. Paint’s efficacy against COVID-19 is at 99.41%, Influenza Virus A at 99.93%, and Hand-Foot-and-Mouth Disease at 99.11%. It is compliant with international health standards and is hypoallergenic and APEO-free, so it is guaranteed safe for individuals with sensitive skin.

Performance isn’t compromised either, the finish is smooth, matte, and low-odor which is very ideal in interior walls in enclosed environments. Application is similar to standard acrylic paint but gives an even better performance with long-lasting protection.

Features and Benefits:
• Superior antiviral and antimicrobial protection technology
• Mold and mildew resistance
• In-can biocide-free
• Excellent durability
• Outstanding cleanability and washability
• Good stain-resistance
• Low odor, low VOC, and environmental-friendly

These are just some of Magna Prime products that work excellently with such special facilities. With over hundreds of SKUs, Magna Prime does show real progress and effort in making their vision of the Philippines having world-class standard construction products and methodologies.

About Magna Prime

Magna Prime Chemical Technologies Inc. was founded in 2001 by Derrick Tan under the trade name Magna Asia Enterprises. It started as a small retailer of tires, batteries, and lubricant products, until the team decided to manufacture construction chemicals and adhesives in 2009.

In 2011, Magna Prime started to offer a wider range of construction chemical products under the name Buildrite Construction Chemicals and started distributing Sinclair paints two years later. With more efforts in between, the company officially became Magna Prime Construction Chemicals Inc. in 2015 and is now thriving more than ever with more products, services, projects, and recognitions.

Today, Magna Prime is one of the few local companies in the industry with ISO 9001:2015 certification, a globally recognized quality management system standard. They also operate the country’s first Modified Silicone Manufacturing Facility in collaboration with Kaneka Malaysia, and recently launched a TESDA-accredited training center for construction skills called Buildrite Academy.

Proving through all these and more other achievements, CEO Derrick A. Tan was awarded Outstanding Achievement in Entrepreneurship at the 42nd Agora Awards in 2024— one of the highest honors in the Philippine marketing and business industry.

Some of their product breakthroughs include Smartbond Flex Hydro, Kryocrete, Tofil 801 Extra, and of course, StopSlip Grip. Got more questions or need construction assistance? Consult with Magna Prime today!
