Choosing the right coating and which applications they work best for help you get the highest level of protection for your materials.
These coatings produce a high-gloss, abrasion-resistant finish. Because of these characteristics, polyurethane coatings are often used as a topcoat for surfaces that need to stay smooth and scratch-free
These coatings are composed of an epoxy base topped with a curing agent. You can modify the ratio and formulation of these two components to bring out specific characteristics ideal for specific applications . Epoxies are highly durable. Their exceptional film thickness enables them to resist weathering and abrasions
Alkyds have significant film-forming abilities although they are not as durable as polyurethane and epoxy coatings. Alkyds are resistant to wear and tear and produce an attractive glossy finish. They can be used for interior and exterior pipe surfaces, even those submerged in water or located underground.
These coatings got their classification from the zinc dust in their formulation, and comes in two types: organic and inorganic. The former uses epoxy or polyurethane binders, while the latter uses silicate binders. These coatings are durable, but they are vulnerable to acids and alkaline substances. Because of these qualities, they are often used as primers in two- or three-coat systems, and are top coated with much more durable coatings.
This type of coating is used as a finish for exterior surfaces because of its ability to retain its color despite exposure to the outdoors. Acrylic coatings are also used as primers because of their ability to make other coatings adhere to surfaces better. They also have considerable corrosion resistance
