COATGUARD 1020

FOOD GRADE EPOXY TOPCOAT

Coatguard 1020 is a premium food-grade epoxy topcoat specially formulated for tank lining applications requiring exceptional acid and chemical resistance. Designed for use in the food processing, beverage, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries, this two-component epoxy coating provides a durable, hygienic barrier that protects tanks and vessels from corrosive substances and harsh environments. Its chemical-resistant properties ensure long-lasting performance making it the ideal choice for industrial tank lining in the Philippines.

Product Overview

Coatguard 1020 Food Grade Epoxy Topcoat offers superior protection for tanks and vessels exposed to aggressive acids and chemicals. This coating combines food-safe properties with outstanding chemical and acid resistance, delivering a tough, non-toxic, and seamless lining that meets industry hygiene and safety requirements.

Key Features:

  • Food-grade safe for direct contact with food and beverages

  • Excellent resistance to acids, alkalis, solvents, and chemicals

  • High durability against corrosion and chemical attack

  • Seamless, non-porous finish for easy cleaning and maintenance

  • Two-component epoxy system for strong adhesion and long service life

  • Suitable for tank lining in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries

❗LIMITATIONS: Not recommended for concrete less than one month, any unsound substrate, and substrate with moisture content exceeding 3% as per ASTM D4263, non-hardening sealants and caulking, form- release agents containing wax or oil. Silicone-coated surfaces, expansion joint, soluble stains, asphalt surfaces and areas where water seepage exists.

Application Guide

Pre-Application Preparation

  1. Surface Readiness

    • Apply only after the primer coat (e.g., Coatguard 110 High-Build Epoxy Primer) is fully cured.

    • Primer must be dry, clean, free from oil, dust, or other contaminants.

    • Visually inspect the surface for any debris or defects that may affect adhesion.

  2. Mixing Instructions

    • Mix Part A and Part B as per manufacturer’s specifications.

    • Use a low-speed mechanical mixer (300–400 RPM) to blend both components thoroughly for 3–5 minutes until homogeneous.

    • Avoid mixing air into the blend to reduce pinholes during application.

    • If working time is limited (due to high ambient temperatures), only mix quantities that can be applied within the pot life.

  3. Application Conditions

    • Ambient temperature should be between 15°C to 35°C with relative humidity below 85%.

    • Avoid application if surface temperature is below the dew point to prevent condensation issues.

Application Process

  1. Coating Application

    • Use a notched trowel, squeegee, or high-build roller suitable for epoxy coatings.

    • For tank interiors or complex geometries, use an airless spray (with correct PPE and ventilation setup).

    • Ensure even application with no missed spots or pinholes.

    • Apply in 2 or more coats, depending on the required thickness and chemical exposure levels.

    • Do not apply thicker than recommended per coat to avoid sagging or improper curing.

  2. Curing Time

    • Allow initial cure for 6–8 hours (at 25°C) before applying additional coats.

    • Avoid water contact or chemical exposure until final cure is achieved (7 days).

  3. Inspection & Testing

    • After curing, inspect for holidays or missed areas.

    • Conduct adhesion and continuity tests if required for critical food-grade environments.

System Use
