TP EP FL CLEAR is the two-component system, designed to cross link at room temperature as well as low temp baking. Medium molecular weight Epoxy Resin is used in base component, contain average two epoxy groups per molecule which reacts with hardeners Epoxy, the same are converted into a hard, infusible, three-dimensional cross linked irreversible Thermoset film at an ambient or elevated temperature. TP Epoxy EP FL Clear is having outstanding chemicals resistance with high gloss and excellent hardness. It gives nice decorative appeal. Product gives adhesion to many types of substrates, excellent flexibility & abrasion resistance
Range of Application :
The system recommended for application on suitably primed steel structure exposed to chemical and industrial environment in refineries, petrochemicals, paper and pulp plants, food and pharmaceutical units, and fertilizer industries. This product can be applied on floor for protection from saline and chemicals. Can be used on Concrete surfaces. This product is recommended for use in sea weather (Coastal Areas).

Application :
Before application of topcoat TP Epoxy EP FL Clearly do all necessary pretreatment of the job. For M. S. surface, remove grease oil and other contamination by using proper degreasing agent. Blast cleans the surface for heavy rusting or remove with de-rusting chemicals to clean the surface. For old concrete, remove all salt deposition /fungal growth, loosely bound coatings, and dust particles and make the surface rough. Also, for new concrete coating do the needful pretreatment, priming and then apply topcoat EP- 101 Epoxy Paint. Use TP Epoxy Primer Red Oxide Zinc Phosphate or Zinc chromate before applying the topcoat. Stir the base component thoroughly and mix three parts of base and one part of hardener by volume to uniform consistency. Allow it for intermediate reaction for few min for stabilization and stir again before use. Make required viscosity as per application method with Epoxy Thinner. The pot lifetime is only limited so mix the materials as per requirement. Close the containers immediately, to avoid the chances of moisture absorption in material and solvent losses. Do not apply in humid condition, during raining or mist and fog or at very low temperature below 100 - 120 C.
