Corrocoat
Corrocoat specializes in the specification, manufacture and supply of reliable corrosion and wear resistant internal lining, coating and painting solutions for tanks, pipes, pumps, valves, structural steel, cranes and concrete.
Many of our coating systems utilize glass flakes, which are used in conjunction with specialty epoxy, polyester and vinyl ester resin systems to prevent corrosion.
Due to their morphology, being very thin platelets of glass with a high aspect ratio, glass flakes impart the following property enhancements:
- Reduced water / vapor permeation rates
- Improved chemical resistance
- Improved wear and abrasion resistance
- Prevention of cracking and peeling – very high adhesion rates
- 30 plus year service life in aggressive salt water atmospheric corrosion
All of which give an extended coating life, thereby protecting and preserving valuable assets for decades (rather than years) in some of the world’s most aggressive corrosion service environments.
