🟥 Novolac & Vinyl Ester Coatings
The Ultimate Protection Against Chemicals
In environments where exposure to acids, alkalis, solvents, and corrosive agents is part of daily operations, standard coatings simply don’t last. That’s where Novolac epoxy and vinyl ester coatings step in — offering unmatched chemical resistance, mechanical durability, and long-term performance.
If you’re operating in the chemical industry, battery storage, wastewater plants, or manufacturing facilities, this guide will help you understand which high-performance coating system is right for your surface protection.
🧪 What Is Novolac Epoxy?
Novolac epoxy is a multi-functional resin system with a higher crosslink density than standard bisphenol-A epoxy. This gives it:
- Superior chemical resistance
- Greater thermal stability
- Improved solvent resistance
- Excellent adhesion to concrete and steel
Novolac systems are ideal for aggressive chemical environments, such as tank linings, containment areas, chemical processing facilities, and battery rooms.
🔬 What Is Vinyl Ester?
Vinyl ester resins combine epoxy backbone strength with unsaturated polyester reactivity, resulting in coatings that:
- Resist extremely high concentrations of acids, caustics, and solvents
- Offer fast cure with high impact resistance
- Perform even under immersion or splash/spill conditions
Vinyl esters are used in secondary containment, flooring, reactor linings, and heavy-duty chemical tanks.
🛡️ Choosing the Right MAGIECHEM Coating
MAGIECHEM offers three high-performance solutions for extreme chemical environments. Here’s how to choose the right one:
🔹 MAGIECHEM 9730
High-Performance Novolac Epoxy Coating
MAGIECHEM 9730 is a Novolac-based epoxy system designed for general chemical industry applications where strong resistance to acids, solvents, and aggressive compounds is required.
Ideal for:
- Processing plants
- Laboratories
- Secondary containment
- Acid splash zones
➤ Use MAGIECHEM 9730 when you need reliable, high-performance protection in environments exposed to common industrial chemicals.
🔹 MAGIECHEM 9735
Heavy-Duty Novolac Epoxy for Harsh Chemical Exposure
MAGIECHEM 9735 is a reinforced Novolac epoxy coating formulated for the heaviest-duty environments, including exposure to sulfuric acid, battery acid, aggressive alkalis, and oxidizers.
Ideal for:
- Battery charging areas
- Fertilizer plants
- Wastewater treatment
- High-risk industrial flooring
➤ Use MAGIECHEM 9735 when your floor is under constant attack by corrosive substances and requires both chemical and mechanical strength.
🔹 MAGIECHEM 9755
Vinyl Ester Coating for Extreme Chemical Resistance
MAGIECHEM 9755 is an advanced vinyl ester system developed for the most extreme chemical conditions, including full immersion and prolonged exposure to harsh solvents.
Ideal for:
- Tank linings
- Sumps and trenches
- Chemical reactors
- High-concentration acid environments
➤ Use MAGIECHEM 9755 when nothing else will hold — it’s built for environments where failure is not an option.
✅ Why MAGIECHEM?
Each of these systems is:
- Engineered, formulated, and manufactured in Canada — 100% Canadian
