NovolacMax™ Technology

Chemical Resistant

Laboratory-grade protection against the harshest chemicals. Novolac epoxy systems engineered to resist acids, alkalis, solvents, and petrochemicals.

🧪 Chemical Defense

Uncompromising Chemical Protection

Standard epoxy fails when exposed to concentrated acids or aggressive solvents. Our Novolac-based systems create an impermeable barrier that withstands the most demanding laboratory and industrial environments.

⚗️ Why Novolac Epoxy?

  • ✓ Higher cross-link density than standard epoxy
  • ✓ Resistant to fuming acids (HCl, H₂SO₄, HNO₃)
  • ✓ Temperature resistant up to 150°C
  • ✓ Zero permeability to solvents

Resistance Categories

Excellent (A)

No effect after 7 days continuous exposure

Good (B)

Minor discoloration, no structural damage

Limited (C)

Suitable for splash/spill only, clean immediately

Not Recommended (D)

Will cause damage, avoid contact

Industries We Protect

Research Laboratories

University labs, R&D centers, and testing facilities handling concentrated acids, solvents, and reagents.

Battery Manufacturing

Acid handling areas, electrolyte mixing, and battery assembly requiring resistance to sulfuric acid.

Chemical Plants

Process areas, containment bunds, and storage facilities for petrochemical and fine chemical production.

Metal Finishing

Plating lines, anodizing areas, and cleaning baths requiring resistance to chromic and phosphoric acids.

🛡️ Secondary Containment

Integrated Bund Systems

Beyond floor protection, we engineer complete secondary containment solutions. Seamless coved walls, integrated drains, and tank surrounds create a unified chemical barrier.

  • 100% containment to 110% tank volume
  • Seamless wall-to-floor transitions
  • EPA/HSE compliant specifications
