PPG NOVAGUARD™ 890LT

Meeting the industry demand for a practical solution to the transportation and storage of a wide range of chemicals including biofuels.

Low-temperature cure, solvent-free Novolac phenolic offers exceptional resistance to a wide range of chemicals. Our advanced coating offers quicker drying and reduced risk when curing at sub-zero temperatures.

About PPG NOVAGUARD 890LT

This coating is a solvent free, low-temperature cure (fast return to service) Novolac phenolic tank lining system. It has been specially developed to provide optimal resistance to new, aggressive fuel mixtures, such as Biodiesel (B5 to higher grades) and gasoline/ethanol blends – ranging from 5% Ethanol (E5) to 100% ethanol (E100).

This specialized tank and pipeline coating combines the superior chemical resistance of Novolac epoxy chemistry with the health and safety advantages afforded by solvent-free products. Its broad chemical resistance permits the storage of 100% ethanol and crude oil up to a maximum temperature of 120°C (248°F), as well as for a wide range of petrochemicals and solvents.

Established performance – greater efficiency

Our PPG NOVAGUARD 890LT coating is easily sprayed by heavy-duty, single-feed airless equipment as a one-coat system applied directly to blast-cleaned steel or over an approved blasting primer.

Environmentally friendly – improved health and safety

The demand for safer products is a key issue in the tank coating and pipe lining industry. Being solvent-free, our PPG NOVAGUARD 890LT coating greatly improves working conditions, air quality and reduces the risk of explosion and fire. Applicators also benefit from a healthier, safer and a more environmentally friendly workplace.
