The proprietary new Greenkote G5k coating delivers a minimum of 5000 hours of corrosion protection in salt spray testing for metals, enabling it to meet ASTM Specification B117, an industry standard for accelerated testing of the corrosion resistance of metals and coated metals in a salt-spray corrosive environment over time. Greenkote CEO, Mark Gore, and Manager of Engineering, Nick Hagglund, announced the new product and its benefits.
“With G5k, we’re upping the ante in anti-corrosion coatings,” said Gore. “Greenkote has become synonymous with metal corrosion protection across a broad range of needs. Now, G5k becomes the new high-end in Greenkote high-performance coatings – no red rust after 5,000 hours of standardized corrosion testing by a recognized industry laboratory. This level of performance is aimed at the most challenging anti-corrosion applications, including those in marine and coastal environments as well as many automotive and industrial uses that expose metal parts to wetness or harsh chemicals for long periods of time. For these types of applications G5k can extend service life and reduce maintenance and replacement costs significantly.”
