According to industry data, 70% of tubs are
damaged during construction and require
repair before the home can be sold.
Our tub protection peelable
coatings protects tubs,
whirlpools and shower stalls against
scratches, abrasions and job site dirt and
grime. Easy-to-apply, the water-based
coating cures to a durable, easy-to-remove
"protective skin." One gallon covers
approximately two standard 5' tubs.
Use for protecting Showers, Bathtubs,
Laminates, Polished stone and Non-Porous
surfaces. Protects against scratches, nicks,
paint overspray, miscellaneous damage,
provides reliable protection during the
construction process. Peels off easily when
the surface is n o longer subjected to
construction damage
If you have ever walked a construction job, you have seen the tub used as a
trash can and the staining and scratching that results from this practice.
Naturally, the homeowner will focus on this and carefully examine the tub for
damage to add to the punch list. TubCoat is applied
shortly after the tub is installed. Once the
home is built and the final cleanup is
scheduled, the protective coating is peeled
away in one piece to form a bag enclosing
all trash and debris, revealing a tub in
showroom condition! TubCoat virtually
abolishes tub repairs and reduces cleanup
costs. Also, since all paint overspray is on
the TubCoat coating, you eliminate the
use of harsh flammable solvents to remove
the overspray. Many of these solvents can
dull and weaken fiberglass or acrylic
surfaces.
General Chemical Corp.?s protective
Peelable coating TubCoat is a
strippable coating engineered for use on a
bathtub and wide variety of surfaces.
Typical applications include where a
temporary protective coating is desired to
protect the surface form damage, scratches
,chipping and form exterior and interior
environment. Depending on the thickness of
the wet film; dry film thickness can range
from one to ten mils. Thin films are clear
while thicker films are translucent. The
application of TubCoat coatings will
protect surfaces from paint overspray or
damage during manufacturing and shipping.
TubCoat represents the ultimate in
non-solvent, water borne, strippable
coatings. TubCoat does not contain
VOCs. |

For Bathtub Manufacturers |
|
|
1. Place 3 - 5lb Olympic style barbell
weights in the tub. (90 degree outside edge
- not rounded) Rigidly mount the tub on a
random vibration table. Conduct a resonance
vibration test using ASTM D 999 Method C in
frequency range of 5-300Hz (See Section
9.3.2 for octaves per minute). Passing is 1
hour with no observed damage. Test to
simulate shipping damage from plumbing
fittings being placed in the tub prior to
shipment to job site.
2. Must stop a 6" drywall knife when dropped
on the blade's corner from 8 feet above the
tub bottom. Test is to simulate the clumsy
dry-waller.
3. Place a 1 1/4" drywall screw on the tub
bottom. Perform ANSI Z124.1 section 4.4
(approximately) directly on top of the
screw, Under full load turn the fixture 3
times. There should be no damage from the
screw. Test to simulate clumsy dry-waller. |

Application: |
|
|
Application is easy to
brush on. Brushes can be
cleaned with soap and
water.
TubCoat is normally
used as received, it can
be applied by air or
airless spray, roll
coating, or brushing.
Typically it is sprayed
on the fixture using an
airless sprayer .Apply
product evenly to
produce a dry film
thickness of
approximately 7-10 mils
or wet film thickness of
14 to 20 mils.. Drying
time is dependent on
temperature. At 70?F,
product will dry in
approximately 24 hours.
You can enhance drying
time by air movement and
other suitable means.
Before applying TubCoat_,
carefully examine the
fixture for any
pre-existing damage. If
damaged, contact the
builder or owner before
proceeding with
installation of the
coating. Do not apply to
porous surfaces. Do not
apply if temperature is
below 45?F.
TubCoat may also be
diluted at the rate of
one to four ounces of
water per quart. The
sprayed coating dries,
depending on the film
thickness, in 30 minutes
to 4 hours. TubCoat
is applied to yielding a
dry film from one to ten
mils (.001" to .010")
thick. The coating is
resistant to attack by
solvents used in paint.
Application temperatures
range from 120? F. to no
lower than 45? F.

"Before we started using TubCoat_ we
had (problems with) scratches, rust
stains, discoloration and repairs.
With TubCoat_ our
problems?disappeared. It is a great
product."
"?As an experiment, I coated a highly
polished cistern cover with your
TubCoat_. The cover was exposed to
the tropical sun, tropical rains and
the abuse of stucco installers,
masons and painters. After 12
months, I peeled the "protective
skin" off (the cover)?it looked as
good as the day it was installed. I
was truly impressed?now I know the
tubs and showers we protect (with
TubCoat_) are perfect."
"I was searching for a product that
would save me money and I found it
with your 'TubCoat_'. I am a general
contractor and we build multifamily
developments in North Carolina and
we install quite a lot of fiberglass
tub/shower units. During
construction these fiberglass units
were getting cut, nicked, and abused
and I couldn't find anything to
protect the finish surface and would
end up paying hundreds of dollars
per unit to have touch up fiberglass
work done. The above mentioned
product was brushed on an left to
cure and weeks later when it was
peeled off we saw a reduction in the
amount of touch up needed by at
least 98%. Thanks for the help!"
