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
1660 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 1660 virtually abolishes tub repairs and reduces cleanup costs. Also, since all paint overspray is on the TubCoat
1660 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
1660 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.

1660 coatings will protect surfaces from paint overspray or damage during manufacturing and shipping. TubCoat
1660 represents the ultimate in non-solvent, water borne, strippable coatings. TubCoat

Performance Tests: |
|
|
|
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 is easy to brush on. Brushes can be cleaned with soap and water. TubCoat
1660 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 70ºF, product will dry in approximately 24 hours. You can enhance drying time by air movement and other suitable means.
Before applying TubCoat_1660, 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 45ºF.
TubCoat 1660 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 1660 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 120º F. to no lower than 45º F.
Removal: TubCoat 1600 can be removed by peeling. |

Testimonials: |

"Before we started using TubCoat_1660 we had (problems with) scratches, rust stains, discoloration and repairs. With TubCoat_1660 our problems…disappeared. It is a great product."
"…As an experiment, I coated a highly polished cistern cover with your TubCoat_1660. 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_1660) are perfect."
"I was searching for a product that would save me money and I found it with your 'TubCoat_1660'. 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!"
