Chemical Resistance Guide
Epoxy Kote 300
MEDIUM / HIGH BUILD EPOXY COATING
The following Chemical Resistance Guide will aid in determining the effect of various chemicals to Superior’s Epoxy Kote 300 COATING. Results are based on a 24 hour spot test under a watch glass sealed with paraffin wax @ 77 °F. Two samples were prepared based on a clear, and clear mixed with UR-4 Color Add 'oxford gray'. Each system was mixed and applied to a panel primed with Superior's #107 Primer in accordance to Superior'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:
