TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
PROTEK ETL
Epoxy Tank Lining
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
PROTEK ETL is a two-component epoxy coating
formulated from high grade resins and curing agents
for storage tanks. It is supplied in pre-measured
quantities ready for site mixing and use. It hardens to
an abrasive resistance coating with high adhesive
strength on properly prepared substrates such as
concrete and steel.
PROTEK ETL is water impermeable and has an
excellent resistance to oil, solvents, alkalis, and most
dilute acids.
CUSTOMER BENEFITS
 Pre-packaged and proportioned
 Excellent durability
 High resistance to chemical and mechanical
attack
 Can be applied to vertical and horizontal
substrates
 Can be applied directly to steel and concrete
 Excellent adhesion
 Smooth, glossy and easy to clean surface
 User friendly mix ratio
RECOMMENDED FOR
Coating the interior and exterior surfaces of concrete,
steel and wooden tanks such as those used for storing
potable water, chemicals (except for high
concentrated acids), grains, powders and other
liquids. It may be reinforced with fiberglass as in the
case of concrete structures that are not integrally
waterproofed. It is also used as a grouting material to
seal off the gaps where ceramic tiles are used to line
storage tanks.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Preparation
Concrete Surfaces
All surfaces must be smooth, sound and free from
debris. Surfaces must be free from oil and other
contamination. Concrete surfaces must be free from
any traces of release oils and curing compounds.
ETL Ver00: Date 04/11/2017
Steel Surfaces
All surfaces should be grit blasted and the newly
cleaned steel should be coated as soon as possible
before the formation of rust.
Mixing
The entire contents of the hardener should be added
to the base container and mixed thoroughly until a
uniform consistency is obtained.
Prepare enough materials that can be applied within
20-30 minutes.
Application
The mixed material should be applied with a suitable
stiff nylon type brush.
The first coat must be firmly applied and scrubbed into
the surface ensuring a uniform coating. Second and
subsequent coats may then be applied as necessary
allowing 6 hours between each coat.
PACKAGING
PROTEK ETL is available in 1-gal set.
COVERAGE
Actual coverage depends on the texture and porosity
of the concrete surface. Recommended application
rate is 10m2 per gallon kit.
STORAGE
PROTEK ETL has a shelf life of 1 year if kept in a dry
store in the original, unopened containers.
FIRE
PROTEK ETL is flammable.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
PROTEK ETL should not come in contact with skin
and eyes or be swallowed. In case of contact with the
skin, rinse with plenty of clean water, then cleanse
with soap and water.
