Indopoxy IK-15 is a solvent free, pigmented, two component, epoxy based coating specially formulated as internal coating of Steel or Concrete tanks for storage of Crude Oils, Aliphatic and Aromatic Hydrocarbons/ solvents etc. In cured condition, it is hard, tough, abrasion resistant material. IK-15 is suitable for safe storage of potable water and other edible oils or food products also. It has excellent resistance to water and many chemicals used for food processing.
Indopoxy IK.15 is a coating system recommended for use as tank lining on properly prepared Metal or Concrete surfaces. IK 15 protects tanks against aggressive acids, alkalis, solvents, CPPs, and edible oils, even at elevated temperatures. IK-15 coating is 98% to 100% solids with extremely low VOCs, making them the preferred lining system for bulk chemical storage or Transportation tanks. Major applications of IK-15 are in Petrochemical Plants or Refineries, AgroChemical and Food or dairy industries etc.In many industrial applications, Indopoxy IK.15 can also be used as primer, mid coat, finish coat or as single coat system in atmospheric and immersed environments.

All surfaces to be coated should be clean, absolutely dry and oil or moisture free before painting application. Oil and grease should be removed by solvent cleaning.
Repair Cases : Corroded areas should be power tool cleaned to St3 or blast cleaned to Sa2 or better. Existing system should be dry and free from loose paint, salt, grease and other contaminants prior to overcoating.
New steel : Abrasive blasting to Sa 2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007). All damage of shopprimer and contamination from storage and fabrication should be thoroughly cleaned prior to final painting.
Maintenance : Remove oil and grease etc. thoroughly with suitable detergent. Remove salts and other contaminants by high pressure fresh water cleaning. Clean damaged areas thoroughly by power tool cleaning to St 3 (ISO 8501-1:2007) (minor areas) or by abrasive blasting to min. Sa 2, preferably to Sa 2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007). Improved surface preparation will improve the performance of the product.
Aged Surface : Indopoxy IK.15 is suitable for overcoating a limited range of intact, tightly adherent aged coatings. Loose or flaking coatings should be removed back to a firm edge. Glossy finishes require light abrasion by emery paper or power tool to provide a physical key.
