EXP Novolac Ceramic Lining delivers unmatched protection against chemicals, abrasion, and extreme temperatures. Designed for long-term performance, this advanced coating easily resists scaling, cavitation, and fluid erosion. Its 100% solid formulation ensures high-build coverage and strong adhesion across various metal surfaces. With application thicknesses up to 250 mils and a temperature threshold reaching 450°F, EXP is a go-to solution for demanding operations.
EXP Novolac is a high-performance upgrade to the EAC lining, offering significantly greater resistance to harsh chemicals and elevated temperatures. While EAC performs well in standard industrial settings, EXP is designed for the most aggressive environments, providing enhanced durability, long-term flexibility, and better protection against abrasion, scaling, and cavitation.
EXP Novolac offers outstanding chemical resistance across a broad spectrum. It performs exceptionally well against inorganic acids, alkalis, alcohols, salts, and hydrocarbons. It also delivers very good resistance to organic acids and many industrial solvents, making it suitable for chemical processing facilities, wastewater treatment, and other corrosive service environments.
EXP Novolac is built to handle high-heat conditions. It can endure dry operating temperatures up to 450°F (232°C) and wet environments, including water, up to 375°F (191°C). This makes it ideal for applications involving hot liquids, steam exposure, or elevated process temperatures in industrial systems.
By shielding surfaces from corrosion, chemical attack, and thermal stress, EXP reduces wear and tear on critical equipment. Its high tensile and flexural strength, combined with seamless adhesion and low permeability, help prevent costly failures, reduce downtime, and extend the lifespan of tanks, piping, pumps, and structural steel.
EXP adheres best to clean, dry, and abraded metal surfaces. While it’s not recommended for flexible substrates or unprepared surfaces, proper surface preparation (such as abrasive blasting or wire brushing) ensures strong adhesion and reliable performance on steel, cast iron, and other compatible materials commonly found in industrial settings.
Once cured, EXP Novolac requires minimal maintenance. Its chemical and abrasion resistance reduces the need for frequent touch-ups or recoating. Routine inspections are recommended to check for surface damage or wear. If needed, reapplication is easy thanks to its overcoating capabilities and compatibility with standard surface prep methods.
