Glo-Protek High Solid Surface Tolerant Marine Epoxy Coating RC-M-146
A two component Special Modified Phenalkamine cured, High solids, rust encapsulating, selfpriming, surface tolerant Epoxy Coating.
SUGGESTED USES :
An ideal yet economical protective coating for rusty steel where elaborate surface preparation is not possible. The coating has excellent adhesion to various uncoated surfaces, as well as previously coated surfaces, making it an ideal maintenance coating. Epoxy coating “RC” has low permeability, excellent flexibility and good chemical resistant making it suitable for use in severe industrial and marine environments subject to attack of acids, alkalis, solvents and salts. Typically used on structural steel, concrete tanks, bridges, offshore structures, power plants and chemical plants. Good coating for Ballast tanks. The coating can be over-coated with alkyd, chlorinated rubber, acrylic, epoxy and Polyurethane coatings.
LIMITATIONS :
Not recommended for immersion in acids, alkalies and solvents
