Laboratory-grade protection against the harshest chemicals. Novolac epoxy systems engineered to resist acids, alkalis, solvents, and petrochemicals.
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.
No effect after 7 days continuous exposure
Minor discoloration, no structural damage
Suitable for splash/spill only, clean immediately
Will cause damage, avoid contact
Based on ASTM D543 immersion testing at 25°C

* Full chemical resistance guide available upon request. Custom testing available for specific chemicals.
University labs, R&D centers, and testing facilities handling concentrated acids, solvents, and reagents.
Acid handling areas, electrolyte mixing, and battery assembly requiring resistance to sulfuric acid.
Process areas, containment bunds, and storage facilities for petrochemical and fine chemical production.
Plating lines, anodizing areas, and cleaning baths requiring resistance to chromic and phosphoric acids.
Beyond floor protection, we engineer complete secondary containment solutions. Seamless coved walls, integrated drains, and tank surrounds create a unified chemical barrier.
Our lab can test resistance against your specific chemicals and concentrations. Request custom testing data for your application.
