Product Description:
NOVLARC. 472 is a two (2) component solvent-free, self-priming novolac epoxy high build coating that is designed
to protect steel and concrete surfaces subjected to severe erosion, abrasion and chemical attack.

NOVLARC. 472 offer outstanding chemical resistance to a variety of severe corrosive chemicals such as 98%
sulfuric acid, 37% hydrochloric, 30% nitric acid, 85% phosphoric acid, 20% hydrofluoric acid, 50% caustic,
bleaches, wet and dry chlorine, chlorates, sulfates, nitrates, petroleum-based derivatives, most solvents and salt
solutions etc.

NOVLARC. 472 coating has excellent surface tolerance characteristics and can be directly applied onto steel,
concrete and other surfaces, where sandblasting is not possible. NOVLARC. 472 offer tenaciously strong bond to
metals, steel, concrete, and to almost all dry surfaces. NOVLARC. 472 coating can be applied by brush, roller or
spray equipments at a thickness of 200-250 microns (0.20-0.25 mm) per coat. The cured composite provides
outstanding chemical and abrasion resistance with a high solid gloss surface finish.

Features:

• Superior chemical resistance: • High solid and gloss surface finish

98% sulfuric acid, 37% hydrochloric acid, 50% caustic, wet and dry
chlorine, chlorates, bleaches, fluorides and fluoride salts, aliphatic and

other refined petroleum products, Fertilizer solutions (such as urea,
ammonium nitrate, calcium nitrate and nitrophosphate solutions etc.),

Spill, splashes and fumes: 250 0F (121 0C)
Immersion service: 200 0F (93.5 0C)
• 100% solids, Solvent-free, zero VOC’s
• Tenaciously high bond strength to steel,
concrete, bricks, fiberglass and other surfaces
• Increase the maintenance intervals
and reduce the annual maintenance cost
• Fast Installation, reduce the costly downtime

• Excellent abrasion and wear resistance • Meet the surface preparation requirement of
SSPC SP-11 and SSPC SP-3, where
• No cathodic disbondment

100% Solids, Solvent-free Novolac Epoxy Hi-Build Coating

Typical Applications:

NOVLARC. 472 coating is used as a high build Protective coating for steel and concrete surfaces in highly corrosive
chemical environment, where conventional epoxy coatings cannot deliver satisfactory results.

• Chemical storage tanks and reaction vessels • Pipelines

• Wet scrubbers • Pump casings and impellers
• Electrolysis cells • Outer surfaces of tanks, reactors and pipelines
• Fan Housings and blades • Structural steel

• Floors • Walls
• Trenches and collection pits • concrete foundations and dikes
• Concrete towers • Beams, columns and other structural supports

Surface Preparation:

For optimum coating performance, take considerable care with surface preparation.

Metals/Steel:

General Cleanliness: Substrates to which NOVLARC-472 coating will be applied must be free of dust, dirt, oil, grease
and other substances. Remove all oil, grease or scale from the surface by using commercial solvents. Then abrade
surface by using grinder, wire brush or grit paper as appropriate and clean the surface prior to the application of
NOVLARC-472 coating.

Non-immersion service SSPC-SP11 or SSPC-SP3 (where blasting is not possible) OR

SSPC-SP6 commercial blast (NACE 3)

Immersion or abrasive service SSPC-SP5 White metal blast (NACE 1) OR

SSPC-SP10 Near white metal blast (NACE 2)

Primer: None (NOVLARC-472 coating is self-priming and offer excellent adhesion to well prepared steel surfaces)

Concrete:
Concrete substrate to which NOVLARC-472 coating will be applied must have a minimum 28 days cure. Concrete must be
dry in accordance with ASTM D 4263 Plastic Sheet Test Method. Concrete substrate must have a minimum compressive
strength of 3,000 psi. Minimum tensile strength of concrete must be 300 psi when tested using a Schmidt Hammer.
Concrete surface must be free of all laitance, oil, curing compounds and any other loose materials prior to application of
NOVLARC-472 coating. Deteriorated concrete surface should be repaired and leveled prior to the application of NOVLARC-
472 coating. Horizontal areas shall be sloped to drain. Water flooded on the floor must drain completely, leaving no
puddles. NOVLARC-472 does not need specific primer prior to application onto the prepared and dry concrete surfaces.
However for wet concrete surface, apply a single liberal coat of EPOBOND-150 Epoxy Primer onto wet concrete surface
and allow to cure solid prior to the application of NOVLARC-472 coating.
Consult technical data sheet of EPOBOND-150 Epoxy Primer for detail information.

Mixing and Application:

Each Kit is packaged in the proper mix ratio. If using partial kits, Measure 100 parts of Base (Part-A) and 25 parts of
hardener (Part-B) by weight.

1. Thoroughly mix Resin (Part-A) before adding the hardener (Part-B).

2. Pour contents of Hardener (Part-B) in the Resin (Part-A) and mix thoroughly until uniform in consistency (about 1.5-2
minute).
3. If mixing by hand, use a square cornered, flat implement, such as a paint stirring stick. When using large kits, a
mechanical mixer is preferred to mix the NOVLARC-472 coating components such as a heavy duty drill machine attached
with a stem having 3-4 blades at the end. Use at slow speed and keep the mixing blade down to avoid entrapping air.
4. When the material is mixed completely, Transfer the mixed coating into a clean and dry coating pan or container.
5. NOVLARC-472 coating can be applied by using a medium bristle brush or a non-shed roller (3/8” nap or shorter)
designed for use with epoxies. To spray NOVLARC-472 coating, use an airless system such as those available from Binks,
De Vilbiss or Graco or equivalent.

Instructions:

 Hardly apply coating by using bristle brush or roller in multiple directions onto the surfaces to achieve desired
film thickness per coat.
 Allow the first coat to cure tacky before applying the subsequent coat. Do not apply second coat, when the
previous coat is still wet. If planned to leave the first coat overnight then brush blast the cured solid surface next
day before applying the next coat. Apply the second or subsequent coats by mixing of new kit or remaining
partial kit.
 Don’t add solvent or any other additive in the coating.

Protect installation from chemicals, water and weather and allow the materials to cure fully as described in the “Curing Schedule”
before putting into service.

Curing Schedule:
The following table should be used as a guide at 25 0C.

Initial Curing 1.5 hr

Hard to touch 2-3 hrs
Foot Traffic/Aqueous immersion service 8-12 hours
Full Load/Full Chemical Resistance 4-7 days

Note: The cure time varies with temperature variations. Higher temperatures will accelerate the curing and lower temperatures
will retard it.

Working Time:
The following table should be used as a guide at 25 0C.

NOVLARC-472 Coating: 18-20 minutes

Recoat: 1.5 hr minimum@ 25 0 C

24 hrs maximum@ 25 0 C

Clean-Up:
Cleaning of plant and equipments should be under taken well away from the application area. Use commercial solvents
(Toluene, Xylene, Methyl ethyl ketone) to clean tools and equipments immediately after use. Use correct handling
procedures with solvents and take care to avoid any accidental spillage onto the freshly installed coating surface.

Coverage:

5 m2 per liter per coat @ 200 microns DFT

To calculate the kilograms required for a given application use the formula below:
Density x Area (m2) x Average Thickness (mm) OR
1.28 x Area (m2) x Average Thickness (mm) = Kg

Packaging:
Pre-measured Kits.
1 kg, 2.50 kgs, 3.75 kgs and 12.50 kgs

Bulk Units:
Resin (Part-A): 30 Kgs plastic can and 220 Kgs steel drum
Hardener (Part-B): 7.5 Kgs metal can and 200 Kgs plastic drum
