Coatings

Coatings applied to ferrous substrates should provide a dependable barrier insulating the metallic surface from the electrolyte and oxygen which are needed to power the corrosion process.

High adhesion coatings such as Etchweld promote long term protection of properly cleaned steel by forming a mechanically tough bond at the coating to substrate interface this bond remains tenacious even if localised damage by impact occurs.

The provision of a passive oxide layer on steel surfaces increases the corrosion resistance achieved when the substrate is over coated by traditional paints, our award winning Hydrate 80 conversion coating provided a dense passive barrier that is also able to neutralise residual corrosion left after mechanical cleaning processes.

Our “wax” based coating materials such as Dynax S50 incorporate unique corrosion inhibitors that display a stronger affinity for steel than water, displacing the corrosion causing electrolyte from steel surfaces. The highly polar binder compounds promote long-term adhesion and the inhibition of corrosion by ionic or pH control at the steel/coating interface.  The hydrophobic nature of the dry film provides low-moisture vapour transmission and results in highly effective barrier layer.
