INDUSTRIAL COATING

INDUSTRIAL COATINGS

Industrial coatings appear everywhere. They protect a diverse array of products from corrosion, wear and tear and decay, as well as bringing an aesthetic and colorful appearance to the coated surface or product. With OEM applications ranging from:

EPOXY COATINGS FOR INDUSTRIALS

These coatings normally consist of an amine curing agent blended with an epoxy polymer. Think of the double-tubes of epoxy glue you might use to secure a strong adhesive bond of one material to another. Formulators can alter the mix ratios (and ingredients) of epoxies to create a wide variety of characteristics. This gives users a unique coating to meet the demands of numerous environments.

Epoxy coatings bond well to many different surfaces. Epoxies resist weathering and abrasion extremely effectively. Epoxy coatings also withstand higher temperatures than most other coating materials. If properly formulated, epoxy materials can resist heat levels to many hundreds of degrees Fahrenheit!Epoxies are often applied in two or three part systems. As a base layer, a user might specify a zinc primer for maximum corrosion protection. The epoxy would be applied over this primer. In a three part system, consisting of a zinc base, an epoxy binder and a final topcoat, a manufacturer may specify a polyurethane topcoat, for superior aesthetics and performance.
