SC Apcorep Coal Tar Epoxy

Anti-corrosive, chemical & water resistant coal tar extended epoxy coating system

SC Apcorep Coal Tar Epoxy is an excellent chemical, chloride & sulphates resistant and water resistant coal tar extended
epoxy system for steel and concrete surfaces. It has excellent performance in both above and under ground applications
such as exposed to soil, water and even in presence of high chloride ions, sulphates & sub soil contaminants. It
also has excellent corrosion/abrasion/scratch resistance and used as direct to metal (DTM) application, without any
requirement of primer.
Product Benets: Application
Can be applied even on damp surfaces Mix Apcorep Coal Tar Epoxy Base & Hardener in
Resistant to chemicals in sea water, effluents, sewage, prescribed proportion by weight (1:3) using mechanical
diluted acids & alkalies stirrer. Mix it at 100-200 rpm for 3-5 minutes to ensure
High build coating with high durability homogeneous mix of base and hardener. Allow the mix
to remain for 5-10 minutes for proper reaction. Only mix
