Description

An Advanced polymer coating for sealing warehouse/factory floors, secondary containment areas, neutralization pits, sedimentation basins, swimming pools etc.
For skid-proofing (when used with abrasives) industrial floors, walkways, loading docks, stairs, truck beds, boat decks, where slipperiness posses a threat to health and safety hazards.
Comprises a two-component, solvent-free, low viscosity, low odor, white or grey, brushable or sprayable formula designed to cure at room temperature to a glossy smooth finish. Semi-flexible, chemical resistant protective film with tremendous adhesion to concrete and metal, designed to take thermal movements due to FREEZE/THAW, impact and abrasion due to use and abuse.

IPN SUPERCLADDING is a new coating material that combines the disciplines of waterproofing and abrasion with modern science and technology of polymers. Advanced Polymer SUPERCLADDING is an advanced hybrid which results from polymerizing two reactive resins at room temperature.
The need for such materials has always existed since conventional concrete or metal surfaces suffer the drawbacks of:

• Extreme slipperiness due to fluid film on surface, water from rain or washing, industrial processing oils, animal fats, etc.
• Leaks due to rapid deterioration under freeze/thaw conditions.
• Leaks due to fatigue and/or stress cracking materials

 

Typical applications

• Concrete pits, Sedimentation basins, and secondary Containment Areas.
• Sealing heavy duty Industrial Floors, Loading docks, Ramps.
• Skid-Proofing Steps, Stairs, Walkways, Catwalks.
• Protecting Machinery Bases, Truck beds, Truck/trailer Platforms.
• Sealing Boat/Ship Decks, Stairs, and swimming Pools.

All of the above applications can be successfully conducted on substrates other than concrete and metal, such as brick, marble, stone, fiberglass and wood.

 

Physical data

 
A "TINTABLE" CHEMICAL RESISTANT COATING
The white version of this coating will provide waterproof seal with chemical protection without imposing as "Undesired New Colour". It is also easily tintable by the end-user to match any existing decor. It is already tinted to a popular grey, which is suitable for most industrial applications

SUPERIOR ABRASION PROPERTIES
Will produce abrasion resistant lining on concrete or metal surfaces.

CHEMICAL BOND BETWEEN LAYERS
Makes "Seamless" coats possible. Moreover, there are no mechanical fracture planes or disbonding to worry about.

PHENOMENAL BOND STRENGTH TO CONCRETE AND METAL
This tremendous adhesion capability far exceeds engineering specifications. Positive bond is also achieved to other substrates such as wood, brick, ceramic and even glass.

NON-RUSTING
IPN SUPERCLADDING's non-ferrous composition is the key to its non-rusting/non-corroding nature. And the fact that it is non-porous also helps. The net result is long rust-free service.

NON-POROUS
Water is the single most important source of gradual destruction in concrete. As you know, water expands by freezing and cracks concrete. Water also completes the requirements of an "Electrochemical cell" in steel reinforced concrete causing corrosion. Rust build-up due to corrosion shatters concrete. Since there is no microstructure menaces like pores to retain water, there is no need to worry about FREEZE/THAW damage or rusting in IPN SUPERCLADDING.

WATERPROOF
IPN SUPERCLADDING is impervious to moisture and de-icing chemicals. This means that direct or indirect damage by the presence of water can be safely disregarded. It also means easy maintenance. SUPERCLADDING is easily cleaned with detergent and water.

100% SOLIDS - NO SOLVENTS
No solvent-entrapment, since it is solvent-free to begin with. That means no blisters, bubbles, holidays or pinholes. One coat application will deposit anywhere from 0.4mm  of "Dried-Thickness". This thickness is only achieved by 4-6 coats of solvent-based coatings with long hours of wait between each two consecutive coatings to allow the solvent to escape into the atmosphere. This may not only create health, safety and fire hazards, but also makes the whole proposition extremely expensive by extending downtime into several days.

COMPLIES WITH LOW VOC REGULATIONS.
Extremely stringent new "Volatile Organic Compounds" regulations have already made many coatings "Obsolete". Since IPN SUPERCLADDING contains no solvents, you can safely specify and use it in any industrial environment, indoors or outdoors.

COMPLIES WITH "CLEAN WATER" REGULATIONS
Since there are no components that leave the product at any stage of storage, application, cure or in-service, you can safely specify and use this product in any industrial application.

LOW ODOR
Applicators or employees will not be subjected to obnoxious fumes.

SPRAYABLE
Multi component or even airless spray units will give great results. A system similar to 45:1 Bulldog with 1/2" hose fitted with mastic guns and #19-#23 tips. Larger ratios and smaller tips may be used and heating element is recommended (40-50^oC). Input pressure of 75-90psi and spray pressure of 4,000 - 5,000psi would be typical. You can also use a brush, roller, applicator or squeegee.

SAME DAY APPLICATION
Normal application is of 2 coats of 0.4mm each to achieve a 0.8mm final dry film thickness. Coats applied back to back, 3 hours apart. Same day application will suffice in most cases, giving a tremendous advantage in reduced downtime costs.

FACTORY-PROPORTIONED PACKAGING.
Easy to mix and apply because mix ratios are kept during packaging of components so that you don't have to weigh or measure anything before use. Just mix all contents.

EASY TO USE:
No need for outside contracting. In-House personnel can easily be trained to use with minimum tools.

SPLITTABLE UNITS
You can mix full or partial units, so you do not waste any material by mixing more than the repair requires.

INDEFINITE SHELF LIFE.
Means you can use the left-over split unit next month, next year, or next decade. This enables you to stock-up and be prepared for those "Unexpected Downtimes".
