Tapecoat Epoxy Coating TC 7025 High Temperature Epoxy

Field Applied Joint Epoxy for Plant Coated Pipe. TC® 7025 EZ FLOW EPOXY is a versatile liquid epoxy for the protection of pipe and metal structures from corrosion in both above and below grade environments.

TC® 7025 serves as an outstanding corrosion preventive coating for reconditioning pipelines, coating joints, coating repairs, and coating irregular bends and fittings. It can be applied to a dry, properly prepared surface, either manually or with the use of a power spray unit designed for such purpose.

This two part liquid epoxy system can be used as a one-coat stand-alone protective coating, isolating the metal substrate from the detrimental effects of electrolysis. An environmentally friendly,100% solids coating that contains no VOCs, (volatile organic compounds).

TC® 7025 EZ FLOW EPOXY provides a thickness up to 25 mils providing a tough resistant barrier when exposed to backfill and soil stress. EZ FLOW EPOXY provides an EZ alternative to the complex and lengthy application process of field-applied powder epoxy coatings.

Basic Use

TC® 7025 EZ FLOW EPOXY is a versatile liquid epoxy for the protection of pipe and metal structures from corrosion in both above and below grade environments.

Surface Preparation

Use effective cleaning procedures to remove all contaminants that would impede bond, including moisture, salts, grease and any loose material. This may include the use of high pressure fresh water cleaning, using suitable solvents or detergents.

The surface must have a 2.5 to 4 mil surface profile. This can best be accomplished using a SSPC-SP-6 abrasive blast or better.

Application

Environment: Use only where application and curing can proceed at temperatures above 40°F (4°C). The temperature of the surface and that of the coating itself must also be within these perimeters. Apply only on a dry and clean surface with a temperature above the dew point to avoid condensation. Relative humidity maximum is 90% preferably between 40-60%.

Mixing: Mix the entire contents of the hardener into the resin container and mix thoroughly until thoroughly mixed (approx. 2-3 minutes).

Application Method: Apply epoxy by pad, brush or roller. TC® 7025 is also available in a spray grade.
