IPNet®

Interpenetrating Polymer Network Concrete Coating System

Interpenetrating Polymer Network Coating System is a novel type of polymer formulation consisting of more
than two polymers cross linked in the network form by synthesis. The morphology studies conducted at
CBRI, Roorkee using Scanning Electron Microscopy & Differential Scanning Calorimetry have proved the
efficacy of IPNet® systems with respect to Chemical Resistance, Weather Resistance, Tensile Strength,
Flexibility, Shear Strength & Hardness Properties.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Protective coating for concrete Bridges, Bridge Decks, Girders. Pier columns, Parapet, Pipelines and Plant
lying in saline atmosphere/marine environment conditions.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE
Surface Preparation: Clean the concrete surface by chipping/wire brushing and remove all loose particles,
dust, oil stains, residual curing agents, demoulding agents. Prior to IPNet® application, seal all the cracks,
joints etc. with sealant made up of IPNet® Primer and silica flour.

Application : Mix IPNet® Base and Curing Agent in the prescribed proportion by volume thoroughly and
allow it to remain in the container for 10 minutes. Apply respective coat of IPNet® keeping time interlag of
minimum 24 hours between each coat and allow the system to cure in air for 24 hours prior to use.
