This advanced topcoat offers faster curing, stronger protection and lasting gloss retention for steel structures in marine and industrial applications.
Concerning rheological stabilization of coatings, there is a trend to move away from hazardous raw materials, with preference given to the use of bio-based and sustainable chemistries, wherever possible. Testing of new organic additives shows good dispensability and ease of activation.
C1-C5 are classifications used to describe the level of corrosion resistance required for aggressive environments and applications. The company's latest test results prove that its sustainable corrosion inhibitors can reach C5 levels of heavy metal and chromate-free corrosion protection in coatings.
The expanded range comprises integrated systems of primers, base and topcoats for environments that require electrostatic protection, for equipment mechanical rooms and for applications where a combination of high performance and ultra-fast return to service is essential.
This article makes the case for a single coating layer system to replace two-coat systems for concrete coatings, claiming superior hardness and abrasion resistance as well as comparable adhesion to wet or dry concrete and equivalent chemical resistance.
VpCI®-386 HT Black is a high heat-resistant, water-based acrylic silicone primer/topcoat that provides protection in harsh, unsheltered outdoor applications.
KEM® NISO™ 8510 is an isocyanate-free topcoat system that can be color matched in any package size to a wide range of colors and quickly blended at Sherwin-Williams facilities across North America.
