DUR-A-GLAZE NOVOLAC
Superior Chemical Resistance – High Heat Resistance

DESCRIPTION

DUR-A-GLAZE NOVOLAC EPOXY is a premium quality protective coating and aggregate binder designed to provide the optimum corrosion protection against chemicals, acids, solvents, high temperature, etc. Tests and in-the-field experience on floors indicate that Dur-A-Glaze Novolac Epoxy is resistant to most solvents (including methylene chloride spills) and most organic and inorganic acids including 98% sulfuric acid. In addition to the superior chemical resistance, heat distortion is also greatly improved, it resists high heat better than a high quality aromatic amine hardener like CR-4. Intermittent exposure up to 250°F (122°C) has little effect.

BENEFITS
– Easy to use 1:2 Mix Ratio
– Cure High Gloss, No Blush
– Cures on Damp Surface
– Clear, Can Be Pigmented
– Superior Chemical Resistance
– Superior Solvent Resistance
– Superior Stain Resistance
– High Heat Distortion Temperature

TYPICAL USES
DUR-A-GLAZE NOVOLAC is recommended for Shop Floor Epoxy Flooring and Dur-A-Crete Epoxy Flooring. It may also be used as a protective top coating for other epoxy binders to provide improved chemical resistance at the surface. The heat distortion will not be significantly improved by top coating only, but chemical and solvent resistance will be greatly enhanced. Best results are obtained when the Dur-A-Glaze Novolac Epoxy is used as a clear top coat.

SPREAD RATES
Varies with type of use. Generally, its use is similar to Dur-A-Glaze #4. As a coating Dur-A-Glaze Novolac epoxy can be applied at 200 sq. ft. per gallon to yield approximately 8 mils DFT. As a binder its spread rate can be as little as 5 sq. ft. per gallon depending on whether it's used in a broadcast, slurry or a trowel application.

LIMITATIONS
1. Do not apply on floors below 55°F or when ambient temperature is higher than 90°F.
2. Due to the rapid setting characteristics, use Trowel-eeze to clean face of trowel when applying Dur-A-Crete Epoxy Flooring.
3. Full chemical resistance can be expected after a cure period of 7 days at 70°F.
4. Dur-A-Glaze Novolac is not recommended as a topcoat for light colored Dur-A-Quartz floors.

COLORS
