COR-COTE HCR FF FLAKE FILLED NOVOLAC EPOXY is a Cor-Cote HCR FF Flake Filled Novolac Epoxy is used as a coat-
100% solids, high chemical resistant hybrid novolac epoxy coat- ing/lining and as a topcoat for self-leveling, mortar and mortar
ing and lining that resists aggressive acids, alkalies, and solvents. laminate applications.
Overlapping glass flakes reduce permeability, providing excellent
performance in immersion service. Protects concrete and steel surfaces in immersion and atmospheric
exposure in tank linings, secondary containment, and process
• Low permeation rate flooring applications in various facilities including:
• Moisture tolerant
• Glass flake addition enhances edge protection • Automotive • Chemical processing
• Electronics • Food & beverage
