Epoxy Coal Tar is widely used in industries requiring robust chemical-resistant coatings, including:
Resists sea water, tap water, de-ionized water, hydrochloric and sulfuric acid fumes, and dilute acids.
Bonds effectively to properly prepared concrete and mild steel surfaces.
Performs reliably at temperatures up to 70–80°C, suitable for demanding industrial conditions.
Achieves initial set in 3–5 hours and full curing in 3–5 days at 30°C.
Prevents moisture and chemical penetration, ensuring long-lasting protection.
Concrete Surfaces:
Ensure the concrete is fully cured (minimum 28 days), stable, and free from cracks, potholes, or honeycombs.
Remove dirt, grease, curing compounds, and other contaminants via mechanical abrasion or acid etching.
Ensure the surface is dry, clean, slightly rough, and properly sloped.
Mild Steel Surfaces:
Sandblast to remove rust and scale for optimal adhesion.
If sandblasting is not feasible, use power tool cleaning, wire brushing, or coarse emery paper.
Mixing Ratio: 1 part Epoxy Resin to 2 parts Epoxy Coal Tar (by weight), i.e., 100 pbw Epoxy Resin to 200 pbw Epoxy Coal Tar.
Process: Thoroughly mix the Epoxy Resin and Epoxy Coal Tar in a clean container until uniform. Prepare small batches to maintain workability.
Tip: Mix only what can be applied within 20 minutes to avoid premature setting.
General Application:
Apply at least two coats using a brush or roller on clean, dry surfaces to achieve a film thickness of 125–150 microns per coat.
Allow 3–5 hours drying time between coats at 30°C.
Membrane for A.R. Brick Lining:
Clean the surface with a wire brush to remove dust and moisture.
Apply one coat of Epoxy Coal Tar and sprinkle quartz sand over the wet coating to enhance adhesion for brick/tile lining.
Tank Application:
Apply one coat of Epoxy Coal Tar Primer.
Over the primed surface, apply a 2–3 mm Epoxy Screed lining.
Finish with a topcoat of Epoxy Coal Tar.
Curing:
Initial Set: 3–5 hours at 30°C.
Final Set: 24–48 hours at 30°C.
Full Curing: 3–5 days at 30°C.
Note: Prevent water or chemical exposure during curing to ensure optimal performance.
Epoxy Resin: 25 or 30 kg in plastic carboys or MS drums.
Epoxy Coal Tar: 30 kg in plastic carboys or MS drums.
Custom Packaging: Available for export per customer requirements.
Personal Protection: Wear protective gloves, goggles, and a mask during mixing and application.
Cleaning: Clean equipment and hands with soap and water before the coating sets.
Flammability: Store away from ignition sources and handle with care to avoid spills.
