Tripoxy™
- Chemical Family
- Epoxy & Epoxy Derivatives
Tripoxy™ is a two-component (1:1 mix ratio), high-solids, solvent-borne, polyamide cure, high-gloss epoxy enamel with USDA approval for incidental food contact. The cured film is extremely dense and hard, but not brittle. It is watertight and impermeable, making it suitable for submersion service. It is resistant to most common solvents, all alkalis, and most acids when splashed or spilled. The 41 series has good adhesion but only adequate wetting and penetration. Tripoxy, like all epoxies, chalks heavily when exposed to sunlight; this is noticeable after 6 months and continues for 12-18 months. Tritpoxey is also available in a clear form.

- Usage
Tripoxy is recommended for the plant maintenance of machinery, structural steel, catwalks, rails, lining of storage tanks, metal doors, walls and floors. It is also used as an abrasion and chemical resistant floorfinishforindustrfliooarls,c woanrechroeustees, fire stations, garages, even residential showers. 41 serie sis also recommended to protect wood in constantly damp environments and as a "tile like glaze coat" for heavy wear commercial/institutional walls and doors. Such uses include jail cells, hospital walls, school corridors, gyms, public rest rooms, commercial kitchens, etc. Other uses included surfacesin meat and poultry processing plants, sulfur fume problem areas in geothermal plants, and fertilizer handling equipment. It has even been used on the lining of oyster larvae storage tanks.

- Pot Life
Tripoxy must stand without being agitated or used for 30 minutes. Only after induction time may Tripoxy be thinned if necessary. Discontinue use if mixture starts to gel.
- Thinning
THINNING: Tripoxy cannot be thinned with solvents in VOC regulated areas. In unregulated areas use up to 5 to 10% of AT65 Thinner.
- PACKAGING
Four ea. 1 gallon cans per case .............. 56 Ibs. Two ea. 5 gallon metal pails... 132 Ibs. [2 containers per kit — color container and hardener container.]
- Advantages
Superior performance + competitive price.; Resists many common acids, alkalis, chemicals solvents, gasoline, fumesandmany harshchemicals. USDA approved.; No hazards in dry state.
- Order Code
41 + gloss + color# Individual products are identified by the product series number, followed by a gloss identifier (G=gloss, S=semigloss) and ending in the color number For example, 41 G633 is Tripoxy (41) gloss (G) Lt. Gray ANSI 70 (633). Use 941B hardener semigloss finish is desired.
- Limitations
Read Chemical Resistance Guide before using in areas subject to regular direct chemical contact.; On grade concrete must have sheet type moisture barrier. If moisture can get into the slab from below any impermeable coating will fail.; White exhibits moderate yellowing.; Limited color selection.
- Dry Schedule
- * Recommended prior to driving on.
