Product Profile:
 |
General Description:
Tar Gard is a coal tar epoxy compound requiring a catalyst to cure the
coating.
|
|
Common Usage:
This coating is formulated for immmersion service and when it is applied to
clean metal surfaces, it provides excellent resisitance to water (both fresh and
salt), acid, alkalis, oil brines, sour crude, and petroleum products.

Color: Black |
|
Finish: Gloss |
|
Activator Required: Yes, #3761 |
Coating Systems:
|
Primer Coats:
For maximum protection, use with Anchor #3900 Hi-Build Epoxy for
immersion service. Consult your Anchor representative for specific job
recommendations.
|
Surface Preparation:
|
Prior to application, ensure that the substrate is free from any contaminants.
All damaged areas or existing paint should be in good condition. The
substrate should then be prepared in accordance with SSPC-SP10 for
immersion, SSPC-SP3 for non-immersion.

Application Considerations:
This type of coating cures by chemical reaction rather than oxidation. The
cure time is totally dependent on the substrate temperature. The coating will
not cure when the substrate is below 50 F, at 70 F cure time is approximately
7 days and at 90 F, cure time will be 3-4 days. Allow for application losses
due to overspray conditions and surface texture. For immersion service, a
minimum of fifteen dry mils is required. For non-immersion service, a
minimum of eight dry mils is required.
