E2U's Novolac chemical-resistant epoxy flooring system is designed for industrial and commercial environments where floors face harsh chemicals and solvents. The two-component coating is formulated to provide long-term surface protection and strong adhesion under demanding operating conditions, according to product specifications.
The Novolac system is a 100 percent solids, two-component floor coating. Its central features are high chemical resistance and solvent tolerance, allowing the coating to withstand exposure to a range of industrial chemicals.
The product's epoxy chemistry is also intended to maintain a firm bond between the coating and the substrate, a key requirement in facilities with frequent use and heavy loads.
The system can be applied at thicknesses ranging from 6 mil to 16 mil. Installers can adjust the coating thickness according to expected wear and the level of chemical exposure in a given area.
For commercial spaces or designated industrial zones with visual requirements, colored paint chips or color quartz can be broadcast into the coating during installation. The additives allow for a customized appearance while the flooring system retains its performance characteristics.
Theoretical coverage varies with coating thickness. The product data lists the following rates:
| Coating thickness (mil) | Theoretical coverage (sq. ft./gal.) |
|---|---|
| 16 mil | 100 |
| 8 mil | 200 |
Coating thickness is a key factor in the service life of a floor. The listed coverage rates are baseline figures; field losses and substrate porosity can affect the final amount of material required.
Small-area trial applications are suggested before full installation to assess coverage under site-specific conditions.
While the Novolac system is described as highly resistant to chemicals and solvents, chemical resistance has defined limits. For specific strong acids, strong bases or high-concentration solvents, the product's chemical compatibility data should be reviewed or targeted resistance testing conducted before installation.
Coating thickness should be based on the mechanical stress and chemical exposure a floor is expected to face. For areas with heavy machinery traffic or a high risk of concentrated chemical spills, a 16 mil application is recommended for maximum protection. For lighter commercial applications, 8 mil is generally sufficient.
