Coal Tar Epoxy FAQ

August 16, 2010


Below are some of the questions that have been emailed to Norm Lambert at norm@epoxy.com and some of his answers.

Have a question for Epoxy.com?  If so, please email Epoxy.com Technical Support.

For use in potable water?

Q: “Epoxy.com Product #210 Coal Tar
Epoxy
says on its technical data sheet that it  meets the
performance criteria for the American Water Works Association Specification C-210.  Does that mean I can coat the inside of my steel potable water tank with it?”

Norm Lambert: No.  To use on the inside
of your tank you will need NSF or UL approval for direct contact with
drinking water.  American Water Works Association Specification C-210
deals with the standard for coating the outside of a tank with an Epoxy.

Which Coal Tar Epoxy is Best?

I notice that Epoxy.com has two different Coal tar Epoxies:
Epoxy.com Product #210 andEpoxy.com Product #216. Which one is the best?

Norm Lambert: The reason we make the two versions is so that you have a choice for which one is Right Product for Your Job. Both products will hold up for long periods of time, when other products will not.
Epoxy.com Product #216 Coal Tar Epoxy Coating meets all requirements of Corp. of Engineers C-200, Federal Specification DOD-P-23236 (SHIPS), and SSPC 16-91.
Epoxy.com Product #210 Coal Tar Epoxy Coating meets American Water Works Association Specification C-210.  So if you are working a job with one of these specifications, that will determine which Epoxy.com Coal Tar Epoxy is right for your job.

Epoxy.com Product #216  Coal Tar Epoxy Coating is 86% Solids, so there is some solvent odor when working with it. However, the solvent gives you a longer working time. Epoxy.com Product #210 Coal Tar Epoxy is 100% solids, so it is Zero (0) VOC – no solvents.  So Epoxy.com Product #210 meets even the strictest VOC requirements.  That means that you have no odor, but you will have a shorter “pot life”.

Still confused as to which one to use email
Epoxy.com Technical Support
or give them a call at 352-533-2167.

Epoxy.com Epoxy Tile Grout and Epoxy Tile Adhesive Questions

August 13, 2010


Below are some of the questions that have been emailed to Norm Lambert at
norm@epoxy.com and some of his answers.
Have a question for Epoxy.com?  If so, please email Epoxy.com Technical Support.

Can Epoxy.com Epoxy Tile Grout and Epoxy Tile Adhesive be added to
conventional grout?

Q: “Can I add Epoxy.com Tile Grout and Tile Adhesive
to my own tile grout?”

Norm Lambert: No, sorry! 
Epoxy.com Product #225  is Water
Cleanable Tile Grout and Tile Adhesive is water cleanable not water based. 
Epoxy.com Product #225 is 100% solids epoxy that
is mixed with select strong dry fillers to give you a true 100% solids epoxy
grout.  Epoxy.com Product #225 contains no
Portland Cement.  Epoxy.com Product #225 is
waterproof and highly stain and chemical resistant.
Epoxy.com Product #225
  will not support mold and mildew growth.
Bottom line is that Epoxy.com Product #225 is as
easy to maintain (perhaps even easier) as the tile you are grouting and/or
bonding with it. Epoxy.com Product #225 comes in
regular grade as well as wall grade.
