ARCOR® 8518
- Chemical Family
- Epoxy & Epoxy Derivatives
ARCOR® 8518 is a solvent-free, ceramic-filled, high-functionality epoxy Novolac coating specifically designed for both immersion and non-immersion service. This exceptional coating is particularly well-suited for aggressive acid and alkali environments with elevated temperatures and/or abrasion. Applied on ferrous and non-ferrous metals as well as concrete, 8518 forms a resilient, chemical-resistant barrier. Its incorporation of Reactive Flexibility agents ensures excellent flexibility while maintaining outstanding resistance to chemicals and temperature, making it an ideal choice for large tank walls and floors without the need for fiberglass mat reinforcement. With its low viscosity, ARCOR® 8518 can be conveniently applied by hand or spray, achieving thicknesses of up to 80 mils per coat. This versatile coating solution provides long-lasting protection in demanding environments, delivering both reliability and performance. ARCOR Epoxy Technologies can tailor make or reformulate the product to suit customer needs. Please reach out if you need a custom formulated product!
