- Properties
Epoxy coatings based on Merginamid A 160 exhibit outstanding properties which are:
- Excellent adhesion on mineral and metallic substrates
- Unobjectionable and tack-free hardening even on damp surfaces
- High water resistance
- Good chemical resistance, especially against alkali
- Good gloss retention till the end of the potlife
- Low smell
- Not inflammable and ecologically beneficial due to the absence of solvents
