Bitumastic 300m

Bitumastic 300M is a two-component coal tar epoxy coating designed for heavy-duty corrosion protection of steel and concrete surfaces. It combines a coal tar base with an epoxy resin, resulting in a high-build, durable finish that excels in harsh environments. This coating is known for its excellent resistance to water, chemicals, and abrasion, making it a reliable choice for long-term protection in aggressive conditions.

This coating requires mixing its two components—Part A (the coal tar base) and Part B (the epoxy hardener)—before application. It can be applied using spray equipment (conventional or airless), brush, or roller, typically in two coats to achieve the recommended dry film thickness of 8-16 mils (200-400 microns) per coat, with a total system thickness often around 16-20 mils (400-500 microns). Surface preparation is critical: steel surfaces need a near-white blast cleaning (SSPC-SP 10) for immersion service or a commercial blast (SSPC-SP 6) for non-immersion, while concrete must be clean, dry, and cured. 

Carbomastic 15

Carbomastic 15 is a two-component, aluminum-pigmented, low-stress, high-solids epoxy mastic coating renowned for its exceptional barrier protection and corrosion resistance. Its unique formulation incorporates lamellar (plate-like) aluminum flakes, which create a labyrinth-like structure that significantly reduces water vapor transmission, enhancing durability. With a 90% solids content by volume, it has a low solvent load, minimizing the risk of attacking existing coatings while providing excellent adhesion to marginally prepared surfaces. The product is surface-tolerant, meaning it adheres well to substrates with tight rust, aged coatings, or minimal surface preparation (e.g., SSPC-SP2 or SP3 hand/power tool cleaning). It is designed for low curing shrinkage stress (tens to low hundreds of PSI compared to 700-1000 PSI for traditional epoxies), reducing the risk of dislodging underlying materials. Additionally, it performs well in high-temperature environments, tolerating up to 400°F under insulation and application on substrates up to 300°F with specialized thinner and techniques.

This coating was pioneered as one of the first mastic coatings in several industrial markets, developed to address the need for a durable, corrosion-resistant coating that could be applied over less-than-ideal surfaces, such as rusted steel or existing coatings, without requiring extensive surface preparation like abrasive blasting. Its long-chain polyamide epoxy resin and aluminum pigmentation were engineered to provide low-stress curing, superior barrier properties, and resistance to environmental degradation, making it a versatile solution for maintenance and challenging application conditions.
