Chemflake Special

Product description
This is a glass flake reinforced vinyl ester coating. It is an ultra high build, extremely chemical resistant and fast
curing barrier coating. Can be used as primer, mid coat or finish coat in atmospheric and immersed
environments. Suitable for properly prepared carbon steel, stainless steel and concrete substrates.

Typical use
Specially designed as an internal lining for offshore, onshore and buried tanks and pipes such as chemical tanks,
flue gas ducts, cooling towers, funnels, pipes, waste water, grey water, concrete bund, pressure vessels.
Specially suitable in acidic conditions. Refer to Protective Product Resistance List. Recommended for areas
subject to extreme chemical exposure and mechanical wear and where future maintenance is challenging.

Film thickness per coat

Typical recommended specification range

Dry film thickness 600 - 1000 μm

Wet film thickness 650 - 1080 μm
Theoretical spreading rate 1.6 - 0.9 m²/l

All vinyl ester and polyester resin systems are subject to some shrinkage during the curing process. This results
in a practical spreading rate lower than the theoretically calculated. The shrinkage depends on actual dry film
thickness applied and conditions during application.

Note: 5-9 °C and 10-14 °C - Applicable for selected markets only.

For other additive suppliers please consult Jotun.

WARNING:
Accelerators must never come in direct contact with peroxides.
All peroxides must be stored in a dark and cool storage room (below 25 °C), and kept away from all kind of
combustible materials. Exposure to direct sunlight must be avoided. Use only original or approved containers.
Empty containers should be washed with water and kept in separate storage/containers.
The peroxide may catch fire if exposed to sparks or to hot metal dust from grinding or other mechanical work.
The curing reaction develops heat. For leftovers of mixed paint it is recommended to fill the tin with water to
avoid excessive heat development.

Peak temperature duration max. 1 hour.

The temperatures listed relate to retention of protective properties. Aesthetic properties may suffer at these
temperatures.
Note that the coating will be resistant to various immersion temperatures depending on the specific chemical
and whether immersion is constant or intermittent. Heat resistance is influenced by the total coating system. If
used as part of a system, ensure all coatings in the system have similar heat resistance.

Product compatibility
Depending on the actual exposure of the coating system, various primers and topcoats can be used in
combination with this product. Some examples are shown below. Contact Jotun for specific system
recommendation.

Previous coat: vinyl ester

Subsequent coat: vinyl ester

Tankguard Holding Primer can be used as a temporary protection and is fully compatible with the tank coating
system.

Colour variation
When applicable, products primarily meant for use as primers or antifoulings may have slight colour variations
from batch to batch. Such products may fade and chalk when exposed to sunlight and weathering.

Colour and gloss retention on topcoats/finish coats may vary depending on type of colour, exposure
environment such as temperature, UV intensity etc., and application quality. Contact your local Jotun office for
further information.
