Industrial coatings protect a diverse array of products from corrosion, wear and tear and decay, as well as bringing an aesthetic and colourful appearance to the coated surface or product. With OEM applications ranging from:
- Building products
- Outdoor structures and equipment
- Sports and play equipment
- Cars, boats and planes and related accessories
- All other types of transportation equipment
Polyurethane Coatings
Manufacturers use polyurethane coatings in a wide array of environments, often as a protective final coat over other custom formulated industrial primers. Polyurethanes resist abrasion, and can enhance durability to withstand wear and tear and abuse.
Epoxy Coatings
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.
Alkyd Coatings
Alkyd coatings are proven, workhorse industrial and OEM coating materials. When applied to prepared substrates, alkyd coatings resist the effects of many different environments. They may be custom formulated to function effectively in interior, exterior, underwater, and underground settings
Zinc-Rich Coatings
These high performance coatings use zinc dust as a rust and corrosion preventative pigment. Organic zinc coatings are often made with epoxy or polyurethane resin binders, since high performance pigments justify high performance polymers.
Acrylic Coatings
Acrylic coatings have many advantages, including quick-drying and high gloss capability. They make great adhesion-promoting primers. Acrylics often require fewer ingredients and can increase the coated product’s corrosion resistance.
Coatings help protect the object by extending its life with application. Some coatings are specifically engineered for certain objects or conditions. Others can be used on a variety of surfaces or conditions. Coatings are also used for decorative reasons.
All paints consist of the following five components.
- Base Pigment. White lead, red lead, aluminium powder, etc were the pigments that were used initially in oil paint.
- Vehicle or Binder.
- Solvent or Thinner.
- Drier.
- Colouring Pigments or Extenders.
