EPILACK EPOXY COALTAR A paint containing Epikote resin - ta be used as protective coatings in carrasive environments. Propertie © Excellent water resistence. + Excellent flevibility, hardness and adhesion, use of primer is often unnecessary ‘* Excellent protective coatings for long-term exterior exposure. © Good resistance to aliphetichydracarbans and crude cil © Good Alkali resistance, Extensively used to protect concrete and steel structures especially in carrosive atmosphere. Storage Tanks Crude Gil black petroleum products alkails, ather aqueous sclutions and demineralized water. Rubber latex and amonia stabilized rubber latex.Ships. Hulls even when cathodically protected, decks, rudders, fuel tanks, ballast tanks and cargo holds. istrial Installations: Pines, tanks, satting basins, waste disposal equipment, structural steel work and concrete. Marine installation Off-shore drilling rigs, platforms, piping dacks, lock gates, piling, machinery and equiament, Water Pipe lines, dam faces, panstock and equipments The critical factors in application of epoxy paints /adhesives ‘Three factors ere most important in the successful application and performance of epoxy resin system 1. Temperature during application and cure: 2. Mixing of the components 3. Surface preparation of the substrate on to which the compositions is to be applied. Mixing When using epoxy product it is important that the components are throughly mixed in the cerrect prapartars and also that it is applied on clean, mechanically sound substrates,Surface Preparation: Itis very important to note that to achieve optimum performance with epoxy the substrate must be carefully prepared to give 4 clean dry and mechanically sound surface. The need for adequate surface prepsration cannot ba aver-emphasisted no matter whether it be a coating, structural, adhesive concrate repair mortar etc Where problems have occurred with epoxy resin compositions in service, lack of adequate substrate preparation has often been found ta be a major contributary actor Road and Bridges As a water proofing membranes to protect reinforce cancrete bndge decks. Epilack applied before Asphalt topping Surface Preparation: Optimum results can b= obtained with Enilack when it is applisd over well prepared surfaces/Steel, which is ta be completely immersed should be grit blasted but for atmospheric exposure through mechanical cleaning may well be satisfactory. In all case, lose will scale, rust, dirt, old paint, other contaminants, must be removed before painting, Conerete surface should be throughly clean and free from grease concrete preferably acidetched to remove alaze or laitence before painting: Itis not necessary to use a primer with Epilack, However, steel soon after blasting can be protected with Epikote Iron Oxide Primer.
