Carboline Carboguard 890 GF is a glass reinforced chemically resistant epoxy coating with wide versatility in all industrial markets. This self-priming coating uses the glass reinforcement to improve internal film strength, hardness, impact, and abrasion resistance. It is often used in severe service (above or below the waterline) in marine applications where these resistance qualities are desired.
