Series 3000
EPOXAL 100 HP is a high performance solvent-free, two-component, thermosetting, high-build, 100% solids epoxy coating. Designed to perform with excellent abrasion resistance, toughness and durability, EPOXAL 100 HP is ideal as a multi-purpose coating. Suitable for use with many of the NPC • 100% solids formulation means this is an odourless product formulated without solvents. Self-leveling, EPOXAL 100 HP is easily applied • May be applied to previously coated surfaces, Hard and abrasion resistant seamless coating, will stand up to industrial vehicular traffic and can Good resistance to concentrated inorganic acids. • Blush free and crystal resistant technology. Typical Performance After 7 Days Cure @ 250C (770F) • Used in conjunction with other NPC flooring systems as a primer, binder and topcoat. TENSILE STRENGTH: 6,860 PSI (ASTM 695-85) • Light to medium duty industrial floors, (i.e. warehouse or production areas subject to forklift • Sanitary environments subjected to constant cleaning, (i.e. laboratories, clean rooms, food FLEXURAL MODULUS: 383 PSI (ASTM D790-86) EPOXAL® 100 HP
