Staroxy CRC 90 Resin/Hardner:A Novalac Epoxy Coating

Product Description :100% Chemical resistance.

Uses: Staroxy CR 90 is the best bet for chemical, solvent and heat resistance among all Staroxy range of products. Novalac is a multi functional high cross link density epoxy matrix, where as the conventional epoxy is based on di-functional Bisphenol A technology. Because of its high cross link density.Staroxy CR 90 is a high solids novalac epoxy coating for concrete, masonry or steel where chemical and thermal protection is required. Staroxy CR 90 is designed for service in harsh chemical environments.

Features :
 Excellent chemical resistance  High Temperature performance  Cures at low temperature  Excellent solvent resistance  Improved wear resistance

Direction to use:

 Before primer application, CDS (Clean, Dry & sound) test is conducted on the concrete.
 Moisture test is conducted by moisture meter or plastic sheet method (ASTM D4263: Standard test method for indicating moisture in concrete). The residual moisture should not be more than 4-5%
 Surface preparation like scarification, grinding or shot blasting is done to achieve a surface profile of 150-100 microns.
 Apply Staroxy 11 / 12 as the primer.
 Mix Staroxy CR 90 resin and hardener in the recommended ratio of 2:1 by volume with a low speed drill for atleast 2-3 minutes. Accurate mix ratio is critical for performance and cure.
 Apply by brush, spray or roller. Can be sprayed with airless or conventional spray. Allow to cure for 6 -7 hours. Re – coat within 24 hours. Full chemical cure needs 7 days.

On metals:  Ensure that the surface is free from rusting, oil and other contaminants.  Sanding and greasing is done prior to primer application.  Apply Staroxy 21 / 23 as primer and allow to dry for 5-6 hours.  Mix Staroxy CR 90 resin and hardener in the recommended ratio of 2:1 by volume with a low speed drill for atleast 2-3 minutes. Accurate mix ratio is critical for performance and cure.  Apply by brush, spray or roller. Can be sprayed with airless or conventional spray. Allow to cure for 6 -7 hours. Re – coat within 24 hours. Full chemical cure needs 7 days.
