TWO-PART EPOXY PRODUCTS

Description:

Unique two-part, solvent-less 100% epoxy coatings containing COTE-L’s state-of-the-art Flame Preventative Intumescent CEASEFIRE™ additive.

Products:

  1. CEASEFIRE™ HIGH PERFORMANCE TWO-PART WHITE EPOXY COATING has passed flame spread and toxicity tests (at very low levels) and is DNV and ABS certified for use on ships and mobile off-shore units in all areas, including ceilings, bulkheads and floors. It is used in such areas as stairwells, walls, ceilings, doors, kitchen areas and areas which need to be cleaned on a regular basis. It performs exceptionally well on steel, masonry, wood and plastics in industrial settings, as well as domestic applications.

  2. CEASEFIRE™ SUPERIOR TWO-PART WHITE EPOXY COATING has most of the same properties as the CEASEFIRE™ High Performance Two-Part White Epoxy Coating, but has a higher viscosity, dries to a matte finish and is only necessary when required to meet stricter thermal conductivity codes. It cures to a firm hardness and is used in such applications as structural steel beams, industrial pipes, train interiors, etc.

  3. CEASEFIRE™ HIGH PERFORMANCE TWO-PART CLEAR EPOXY COATING is used to protect wood or any other surfaces where a clear high-gloss fire retardant finish is needed. It has been specified to protect ancient oriental wooden shrines, as well as wood trim on naval vessels.

    • Contains very low load levels of CEASEFIRE™ additive, which allows for a thinner coating with superior performance to the competition. Low load level does not impede performance of the coating.
      (Note: in order to produce fire retardant properties, competitive products add large amounts of minerals, sugars or starches, thus necessitating higher material costs, labor intensity to install and limits on useability.)
