Technical Data Sheet

Description

NAP-GARD® 7-1833 is a uniquely designed coating that offers a “trio” of properties: outstanding gouge
resistance, excellent abrasion resistance and high temperature corrosion resistance. The epoxy polymer is
coupled with an alloy polymer providing superior adhesion and corrosion resistance. Nap-Gard® 7-1833 is ideal
for use in Horizontal Directional Drilling (“HDD”) applications requiring superior abrasion and gouge resistance.
Nap-Gard® 7-1833 can also be used as an internal liner for slurry pipelines requiring exceptional abrasion
resistance coupled with extremely low frictional properties.

Advantages & Uses

Advantages
 100% Solids – No VOCs.
 Isocyanate free.
 Excellent resistance to high temperature cathodic disbonding up to 120°C (242°F).
 Excellent adhesion to grit blasted steel surfaces, Fusion Bond Epoxy (FBE), Fiber Reinforced Plastic
(FRP) and treated 3L PE or 3L PP.
 Excellent Abrasion Resistance.
 Excellent Gouge Resistance.

Uses
 Coating for directional drill, slip bore and river crossing pipelines.
 Internal liner for slurry pipelines.

NAP-GARD® 7-1833 is designed as a single-coat application coating; however, to correct anomalies or make
repairs, an additional coat may be necessary. In these situations, sweep blasting of the surface is necessary to
obtain inter-coat adhesion. Small areas <316 sq cm. (< 49 sq in.) may be sanded using a medium grit (80-100)
carborundum cloth. Due to intrinsic slip of the NAP-GARD® 7-1833 coating surface, this step MUST be followed.
The surface can be prepared after the coating has cured [normally after 6 hours at 25°C (77°F) and less at
higher temperatures.] All dust from the sanding or blast roughening must be removed from the surface prior
to the application of the coating.

Substrate Temperature The acceptable substrate (metal surface) temperature range for the application
of Nap-Gard® 7-1833 is 10°C (50°F) to 100°C (212°F). Preheating of the substrate
is required if the surface to be coated is below 10°C (50°F). The substrate
temperature must be a minimum of 3°C (5°F) above the dew point temperature
before proceeding with the coating operation. Post-heating may also be required
when over-coating polyolefin substrates. Refer to the Curing Table.
Storage / Shelf Life Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at temperatures between 5°C (41°F) and
40°C (104°F). Keep the lids sealed when not in use. The Shelf Life is a maximum
of 24 months from the date of manufacture if the materials are in unopened
containers.
