Coal Tar Epoxy Manufacturer

What Is Coal Tar Epoxy?

Coal tar epoxy is a black surface protection polymer for use on extremely corrosive environment surfaces. It is simply a blend of various epoxy resins and coal tar. Many commonly use the epoxy to make high solids coatings or paints to provide moisture protection for underground systems. Pipelines, water treatment facilities, clarifiers, tanks are examples of that protection. It is common for use within the sewage industry for those reasons.

Coal tar epoxy is made by the conversion of polyamide epoxy with a pitch of refined coal tar. It is mostly used on metal substrates and concrete in offshore, petroleum and industrial environments. The fluctuation of temperatures can make the product crystallize. However, it is stable at room temperature or at least 5°F above dew point. When you apply it, the environmental conditions may affect the drying time.
