About Coal Tar Epoxy Coatings
a high-performance, two-component protective system combining epoxy resin with refined coal tar. It creates a thick, durable, and black, impermeable barrier that offers exceptional resistance to water (fresh and salt), corrosion, chemicals, and abrasion. It is commonly used for long-term protection of submerged or buried steel and concrete infrastructure, including pipelines, tanks, and marine structures.
Exceptional Durability for Harsh EnvironmentsSpecially formulated for industrial use, Coal Tar Epoxy Coating delivers outstanding resistance to water, chemicals, and solvents, prolonging the lifespan of steel and concrete structures. Its thick, protective layer ensures robust performance even in demanding marine and chemical processing contexts, where other coatings might fail.
Easy Application and Reliable CoverageDesigned with versatility in mind, this two-component coating can be easily applied by brush, roller, or spray. Its high solids content ensures efficient coverage-spreading 6-8 sq.m/litre at 100 micron DFT-while pot life of 6 hours at 30C allows for convenient handling during application. Ideal for both new constructions and maintenance projects.
FAQ's of Coal Tar Epoxy Coatings:
Q: How should I prepare the surface before applying Coal Tar Epoxy Coating?
A: For optimal adhesion and performance, surfaces must be prepared by abrasive blast cleaning to Sa 2.5 standard, ensuring the removal of rust, mill scale, and contaminants.
Q: What is the recommended mixing ratio for the base and hardener?
A: Mix the base and hardener at a ratio of 4:1 by volume. Stir thoroughly until a uniform blend is achieved before application.
Q: When can the coated surface be handled after application?
A: The coating becomes touch dry in 4-6 hours at 30C. However, full chemical and mechanical cure is reached after 7 days for best durability.
Q: Where can this Coal Tar Epoxy Coating be used?
A: It is suitable for use on steel and concrete surfaces requiring corrosion protection, such as pipeline exteriors, tanks, marine structures, and industrial facilities.
Q: What are the main benefits of using Coal Tar Epoxy Coating?
A: The coating provides excellent resistance to water, chemicals, oils, and solvents, significantly extending the service life of protected structures. It also offers a semi-gloss to matt finish with high durability and easy maintenance.
Q: How much area does a litre of this coating cover?
A: At a recommended dry film thickness of 100 microns, one litre covers approximately 6 to 8 square metres, depending on surface profile and porosity.
