Epoxy Kote 100

Chemical Resistance Guide

Shop Floor Epoxy Coating

The following Chemical Resistance Guide will aid in determining the effect of various chemicals to Superior’s ChemKote 700. Results are based on ASTM D-1380 procedure. Two samples were prepared based on a Clear and a color base mixed with Epoxy Color Add, Light Gray (ECA). Each system was mixed and applied to a panel sealed with Superior's Primer in accordance to Suuperior's standard specifications. The coatings were allowed to cure for a minimum of 7 days @ 77 °F prior to testing. A rating system for this guide is as follows:

Film Integrity

Unaffected
Affected but area usable after drying
Partially Destroyed in contacted area
Contacted area destroyed

Staining

A.	Unaffected	G.	Stained but removed by soap and water
B.	Brown Stain	H.	Stained but removed with xylene or abrasive cleaner
C.	White Stain	I.	Loss of Gloss
D.	Color Lightened	J.	Green or Blue Stain
E.	Yellow Stain	K.	Gray Stain
F.	Red or Orange Stain
