DESCRIPTION: |
|
SUPERIOR NOVOLAC is a
unique, 100% solids epoxy system which exhibits superior
resistance to acids, both mineral and organic, alkalies,
salts, solvents, oils and other chemicals. SUPERIOR
NOVOLAC is high gloss, abrasion resistant and moisture
insensible. Coatings and toppings of SUPERIOR NOVOLAC
have excellent resistance to thermal shock when
subjected to frequent steam or hot water cleaning. |
|
USES: |
| Chemical resistant
coatings and/or binders for aggregate filled, trowel
applied toppings. SUPERIOR NOVOLAC may be used as a
protective top coating for other epoxy systems to
provide improved surface chemical resistance in:
Chemical plants
Pulp & paper mills
Food processing plants
Dairies
Battery storage &
charging areas
Plating plants
Waste treatment plants |
|
ADVANTAGES: |
| Excellent chemical
resistance
100% solids, conforms to
VOC regulations
High gloss, easily
cleaned surface
Excellent bond to
concrete, steel and wood
DOT Non-corrosive
Moisture insensitive
Easy to use 1:1 by
volume mix ratio |
|
SURFACE
PREPARATION: |
| Surface must be clean
and free of any dust, oil, grease, laitance, curing
compounds or any other contaminants. This should be
achieved by sand blasting, water blasting or some other
mechanical means. New concrete surfaces may be acid
etched with muriatic acid and rinsed thoroughly. Surface
may be dry or damp, but must be free of standing water. |
|
MIXING
AND APPLICATION: |
| Mix thoroughly, 1 part
by volume of part A with 1 part by volume of part B,
being sure to scrape the sides and bottom with a strong
mixing stick or slow speed drill equipped with a paint
propeller. Do not mix more than can be applied in 30
minutes. Apply mixed material by brush or roller. For
best results, two coats should be applied. Allow the
first coat to cure overnight. Apply the second coat
within 24 hours.
As a mortar, prime
surface with neat epoxy. Prepare the mortar system by
adding 2.5 to 3.5 gallons of clean dry sand to each
gallon of mixed epoxy. Preferred types of sand are high
grade silica sands such as Ottawa Flintshot, Mission, or
their equivalents, Emery, or other forms of Alumina and
Silicon Carbide. Blend the epoxy and sand until the sand
is thoroughly wetted. Screed the mortar out onto the
previously primed area, rake to distribute, then compact
and trowel to finish. When used as a mortar, it is
recommended that one or two topcoats be applied to seal
the surface against chemicals and acids. |
|
LIMITATIONS: |
| Do NOT apply when
temperature is below 50°F.
Do NOT apply to latex
modified mortar or concrete. |
|
CLEAN
UP: |
| Clean tools and
equipment immediately with a suitable solvent such as
xylene or lacquer thinner. |
