DX-C1008 Moisture-Curing Wear-Resistant Glass Flake Epoxy Coating
Product Description
- Overview:
A two-component high solids epoxy coating composed of epoxy resin, glass flake pigments, and amine curing agents.
Key Features:
- Forms a tough, wear-resistant, and impact-resistant coating after curing with excellent impermeability.
- Provides long-term resistance to water, wastewater, seawater, and soil erosion.
- Resistant to crude oil, gasoline/diesel, aviation kerosene, and lubricating oil.
- Offers excellent resistance to weak acids, weak alkalis, and some salts.
- Demonstrates good cathodic protection adaptability.
Design Applications:
- Suitable for protecting steel and concrete in environments subjected to severe corrosion and abrasion, such as submerged zones, tidal zones, and splash zones of offshore structures, as well as docks, hydraulic gates, and underground pipelines.
- Can also be used for anti-corrosion coatings on the inner walls of tanks and storage vessels. For applicable media, consult the manufacturer.
- Single-coat thickness can reach over 600μm in one application.
