Coating Polymers for the Anti Corrosive Coating Industry
Why use Thermoplastics?
- Commonly referred to as “plastics”
- Melt on heating and re-solidify on cooling.
- Common plastics are polyethylene, polystyrene, polypropylene, nylon, PVC etc.
- Range of properties-from flexible to rigid, high temperature or chemical resistance, toughness, electrical insulation etc.
- On heating, they react with themselves to “cross-link” the molecules into a matrix which solidifies and will not melt again on reheating.
- Barrier Properties
- Vapour
- Liquids
- Chemical Resistance
- Electrical Insulation
- Anti-corrosion
- Flexibility
- 500-800% elongation
- No cracking or chipping
- Thicker Coatings
- Barrier properties
- Edge and weld coverage
- “Grip” and “warmth”
- Impact Resistance
- Fluid dip, flame and flock spraying
- 250-1000 micron
- Electrostatic spray
- 150-300 micron
- Food Contact
- Low toxicity
