Series 286 | Deco-Clear CR

Generic Type Modified Novolac Polyamine Epoxy
Common Usage A clear novolac finish for decorative flooring systems. It protects against harsh chemicals, impact and abrasion, providing a skid-resistant or smooth finish depending on the number of coats.
Colors Clear. Note: Epoxies chalk and yellow with age, extended exposure to UV and artificial lighting. Caution should be taken when selecting white and light pastel colors. Lack of ventilation, incomplete mixing, miscatalyzation or the use of heaters that emit carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide during application and initial stages of curing may cause amine blush, possibly affecting adhesion of subsequent topcoats. Caution: Novolacs will stain with extended exposure to certain acids.
Finish Gloss. The texture of the finished surface depends on the number of coats applied.
