ARMOUR SB — Chemical Resistant Anti Corrosion Paint
Single-component, self-priming acid & alkali resistant coating
Formerly known as: CRAC — Chemical Resistant Anti Corrosion Paint (As Patented)
ARMOUR SB is a solvent-based, single-component self-priming coating engineered for fast application with a 15-minute touch dry time. It delivers strong acid, alkali, UV, and water resistance, ensuring long-lasting protection in demanding environments.
- Single component — no mixing required
- Self-priming on all metal & non-metal surfaces
- Touch dry in 15 minutes
- Superior acid, alkali, UV & water resistance
Color Range
Colours are approximate. Actual shade may vary slightly.
Overview
Usage
- Applied on all metal and non-metal structures except rubber.
- Protective coating against acid, alkali, UV resistant, and water resistant in aggressive industrial environments.
- Used in only vapour-side areas across chemical and industrial facilities.
Advantages
- Single-component — no mixing or specialist equipment required
- Self-primer — eliminates separate priming step
- Touch drying in 15 minutes for fast throughput
- Superior resistance to acids, alkalis, UV, and water
- Excellent adhesion to all metal and non-metal surfaces (except rubber)
- High coverage rate — 60–80 sq.ft per kg

Application
ARMOUR SB can be applied by brush, roller, or airless spray. No thinning is required. Apply in ambient temperature between 10 °C and 40 °C with relative humidity below 85%. Do not apply on wet surfaces or when rain is expected within 4 hours.
Minimum 2 coats recommended for all industrial environments.
- 1
Surface Preparation
Clean the surface thoroughly — remove rust, oil, grease, dust, and loose particles. Ensure surface is dry and free from contamination.
- 2
Application Method
Apply by brush, roller, or airless spray. For best results on porous surfaces, apply a thin first coat and allow to flash off before applying the second coat.
- 3
First Coat
Apply ARMOUR SB uniformly at 40–60 microns DFT. Touch dry in 15 minutes.
- 4
Second Coat
Apply second coat after 1 hourat the same DFT. Ensure full coverage with no pinholes or holidays. Allow 24 hours for full chemical cure before exposing to aggressive media.
