Generic Type Epoxy Polyamide
Carboguard 60 is a high solids, versatile, abrasion resistant, chemical resistant, and corrosion
resistant coating. It can be used as a primer, intermediate coat, or self-priming finish over steel or
inorganic zinc primers. May be topcoated with itself, or a broad variety of high performance finish
coats. This product has excellent wetting properties giving it the capability of going over marginally
Description prepared substrates. It is ideal for maintenance and fabrication shop applications. An optional
Glass Flake (GF) additive or micaceous iron oxide (MiO) additive can be purchased separately and
may be used to enhance film strength for more abusive applications for severe marine or heavy
industrial uses.
Consult Technical Service for suitability as a lining or other exposures.
