Series 396
Tank Armor
Generic Type
Ultra High-Build Reinforced Novolac Epoxy
Common Usage
A thick-film, reinforced epoxy interior lining engineered for severe service in mining, mineral processing, and other heavy industrial environments where abrasion, impact, and corrosive attack occur simultaneously. Series 396 Tank Armor is well suited for slurry handling, milling circuits, tailings systems, and high-solids process and storage vessels, providing durable protection under continuous wear conditions. Series 396 provides an ultra high-build film, up to 125 mils (3.2 mm) DFT in one coat, extending service life capabilities when exposed to aggressive solids, erosive flow, and corrosive chemistries.

Number of Components
Two: Two Part A (epoxy) to One: Part B (amine)
Curing Time
| Temperature | To Touch | To Handle | Immersion |
|---|---|---|---|
| 75°F (24°C) | 2 hours | 4 hours | 8 to 10 hours |
These times are based on a 40 mil (1,016 micron) dry film thickness. Higher film thicknesses, insufficient ventilation or cooler temperatures will require longer cure times. This coating commonly develops an amine-blush during cure. While this condition will not adversely affect performance of the coating, this blush must be removed by aggressive sweep blasting before applying additional coats. During high humidity conditions, it is recommended that the application be done while the temperatures are increasing. Cure time to achieve a minimum Shore D Hardness of 80 or Barcol GYZJ 935 hardness of 65 for immersion service is 8 to 10 hours. In order to obtain an accurate reading, the minimum DFT must be 30 mils.
