Life-Kote 98 Series
- Chemical Family
- Epoxy & Epoxy Derivatives
Life-Kote 98 Series is a two-component, high solids, polyamide-cured, epoxy primer designed for use on interior or exterior substrates that require both extra flexibility as well as an extra corrosion resistant base for high performance topcoats. This product offers excellent adhesion to both the surface and the topcoats that follow. Highly resistant to many alkalis, solvents, and other active chemicals and provides excellent substrate protection in chemical and atmospheric environments. 98 Series can be top coated with converted epoxy topcoats, acrylic urethanes, and other high performance coatings.

- HIGHLIGHTS
Life-Kote is our Super Compliant Industrial Line. This series contains a complete offering of coatings designed for use on waste handling equipment, trailer components, structural steel, utility & power equipment, heavy machinery, propane tanks, automotive parts and by manufacturers using our pharmaceutical approach to innovative coating solutions.. The Life-Kote system was developed as a result of tighter environmental VOC & HAPS regulations. Each coating is formulated to extend the life cycle of equipment, parts or machinery in the field while meeting cost, performance and application requirements.
- Surface Preparation
All substrates must be cleaned free of dust, dirt, oil (including form oils & parting compounds), grease, soap residue, wax, flaking paint, and any other contaminants.; All burrs should be removed and sham edges or rough weld seams should be ground down. The substrate should be thoroughly degreased in accordance with SSPC-SPI.; Solvent wipe and/or detergent clean surfaces before application. Sandblast or wire-brush surfaces to remove rust and mill scale.; For optimum adhesion and corrosion resistance, hot roll steel should be iron or zinc phosphate treated after mechanical grit blast removal of mil scale.
