Carboline Carboguard 690 GF is a glass-flake filled, cold cure epoxy having excellent film strength and resistance to water, salt water and wastewater exposures. Can be used on a variety of surfaces including structural steel, piping, pilings, ships, offshore structures, and other equipment exposed to industrial or marine environments.
Carboline Carboguard 690 GF is a high performance, glass-flake filled, cold cure epoxy having excellent film strength and resistance to water, salt water and wastewater exposures. This coating exhibits outstanding moisture tolerance during application, low temperature cure capability, and fast cure response for quick return to service. Glass flake reinforcement enhances film strength, impact resistance and barrier properties.
Can be used on a variety of surfaces including structural steel, piping, pilings, ships, offshore structures, and other equipment exposed to industrial or marine environments. It can also be used in immersion service for salt water, process water (non-potable) and waste water treatment projects.
