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
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 |
