Type
Suggested use
Applications where high flexibility and elongation are necessary. Used for crack bridging, between joints where movement can be expected or coating bellows etc. May be used to repair other flexible linings and rubbers and for adding
impact resistance. Flexires should, where possible,be used with
flexible reinforcing materials such as glass cloth and woven roving, to produce strong, flexible membranes; these can be free standing if required. Can be over-coated with Flexicoat for better corrosion protection.
Limitations
Not suitable for service in aggressive chemical environments. For use in immersion conditions limited to 140°F (60°C). Please refer to Corrocoat Technical Services for advice.
Health & safety

Application equipment
Brush or special roller.
Application
Dependent upon environment, Corrocoat FR is normally applied in wet film thicknesses around 12-32mils (300 to 800 microns). Should multiple coats be necessary theprevious coat must be washed with styrene to remove any wax present at the surface.
Overcoating
May take place as soon as the previous coat is tack free. The surface wax must be removed prior to application.
Cure time
Full cure, approximately 5 days.
