Solvay’s new waterborne Halar® ECTFE coating system broadens metal corrosion prevention applications for the chemical processing industry. The coating system is comprised of a high adhesion primer and topcoat and is easily applied using standard liquid spray equipment.
HALAR ECTFE powder coatings have been used for corrosion prevention for over 40 years for equipment in a range of industries including acids, mining, pulp and paper, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and semi-conductor, among others. The new waterborne HALAR ECTFE liquid coating technology expands the range of end-use applications to those that are difficult or impossible to powder coat. This includes complex shapes, uneven surfaces, oversized vessels, pipe interiors, tanks and containers. It also provides engineers an alternative protective metal coating option to corrosion resistant alloys (CRAs).
