Working Principle
-
The primary mechanism behind the waterproofing capability of Star Aqua Seal is the formation of a continuous film that acts as a physical barrier against water penetration. When an epoxy coating is applied, the liquid formulation undergoes a curing process, typically through solvent evaporation or chemical reaction.
The material cures to provide a hygienic and tough finish which is suitable for contact with potable water and foodstuffs. It is available in white and other colours. Star Aqua Seal Food Grade Epoxy is resistant to corrosion and chemical attack and also antifungal.
