Carboline releases a new 600 Series
This technology utilizes phenalkamine-cured epoxy resins. The primary advantages are exceptional low temperature cure response, excellent wetting properties, fast recoatability, and moisture tolerance during application and cure. While this technology has been used in Europe for a number of years, more recent advances have made it even more attractive in that we can now achieve higher solids and improved performance.
Carbomastic 615HS… The Carbomastic trademark implies surface tolerance and high solids, and maybe a close resemblance to Carbomastic 15' Yes, Carbomastic 615 HS is 80% SBV, exhibits excellent wetting properties, has low temperature cure response, and is also tolerant of moisture during application and cure. While this product does not contain aluminum (like the other Carbomastics) it does contain micaceous iron oxide (MiO). MiO is a very inert flake-type filler that imparts film strength, outstanding barrier properties, and added chemical resistance to the film. It does impart a gray-fleck color to the film, so colors will be initially limited to tan and gray. Carbomastic 615 HS is recommended at 5-10 mils/coat and can be used in immersion service in fresh or salt water exposures.
Carboguard 635… This product is a 65% SBV epoxy that has excellent wetting properties with extremely quick recoat times. It can be used as a shop primer, maintenance primer, intermediate coat, or even as a self-priming finish if the colors offered are acceptable. Normally it would be topcoated. This product compares favorably with other epoxy-phenalkamines on the market. See comparison chart with other competitors found in this release. The initial offering will be in a five unmatched colors (beige, black, gray, white, and red).
Carboguard 671… Is a moisture tolerant, high performance epoxy for use as holding or bonding primer/sealer over steel or concrete. It has has tenacious bond to damp concrete and is used to prime/seal substrates prior to the application of an elastomeric polyurethane/polyurea lining system. It can also be used as a holding primer for steel substrates. It has excellent resistance to water and wastewater exposures and is ideal for projects involving these exposures.
Carboguard 691… This product has recently passed the rigorous testing and review process for drinking water applications under the ANSI/NSF Standard 61 for drinking water components … in a single coat! What makes this product unique? How about a product that is 80% solids by volume, cures down to 20°F, can be applied up to 20 mils in a single coat, and is approved for use up to 30 mils total? If that isn’t enough, for non-immersion applications, it can be applied over minimally prepared steel and is one of the best products in the line that tolerates moisture on the surface. The unique formulation displaces residual water and establishes a tenacious bond with the substrate. This product has a lot of handles to it!

We are pleased to introduce A/D FIREFILM III, the next generation of thin-film intumescent fireproofing from A/D. A/D FIREFILM has been the specifier’s choice since 1991 when it was first introduced to the market.
FIREFILM III is listed by UL, ITS and FM as equivalent to FIREFILM II in all the existing fire test designs and listings. In addition, A/D FIREFILM III significantly expands upon the thickness/rating information than its predecessor. Key features of the new UL Designs include:
- Reduced thickness
- Basecoat and Mesh are no longer needed
- Basecoat is no longer needed
- 3 hour rating
For ½” wall structural tubes (A/P=0.46) Thickness: 324 mils
Design … X672
- 1 hour ratings …
For ¼” wall structural tubes and pipes (A/P=0.22 and 0.24)
Design … X673

Galoseal WB is a unique and innovative water-based acrylic adhesion promoter for galvanized steel, and other non-ferrous metals. It creates a tenacious bond which enhances topcoat adhesion to galvanized metal surfaces. Topcoating of galvanized steel (particularly new galvanizing) is problematic, stemming from surface treatments such as oils, chromates, and other solutions. Galvanizing that has not been properly cleaned, treated, and even abrasive blasted can cause delamination of coatings in time, particularly under freeze-thaw cycling. Thicker coatings (above 3-4 mils), such as high build epoxies, can further aggravate the problem.
Years ago, the polyvinyl-butyral wash primers were often used to “etch” the galvanizing (through the use of a mineral acid) and thus created, for the most part, a suitable surface on which to overcoat. The onset of VOC regulations has all but eliminated their use. Recent technological advances which are used in Galoseal WB result in significant increases in the adhesion of topcoats. Galoseal WB creates an incredible bond between the metal surface and the topcoat. It has many attributes.

Plasite 4555 S is a 100% solids, single-coat, fast cure, reinforced epoxy lining for immersion in food-grade cargos. It has excellent overall chemical resistance and can be used in a variety of exposures from water and wastewater, to oil and gas exposures, to other aggressive chemicals, acids and caustics.

This alkyd enamel is specially formulated with corrosion inhibition (zinc phosphate) that allows direct-to-metal application. The particular resin used has excellent dry-hard characteristics and quick dry-to-handle properties. It exhibits good weatherability, gloss, and color retention for an unmodified alkyd in light to moderate duty service. It has a smooth, attractive, gloss finish and can be applied by spray, brush, or roller over hand-tool cleaned steel substrates.
Carbocoat 8215 is available in Rapid Tint Service (RTS) bases and ready for immediate sale. We also have a variety of custom colors on the shelf as well as 2000 gal of aluminum!
