Industrial surfaces are constantly exposed to chemicals, corrosive environments, and mechanical stresses. Therefore, it is critical that the coating systems used to protect them are durable, long-lasting, and high-performance. This is where epoxy resins come to the fore.
- Acid Resistant Epoxy Systems
- Epoxy coatings used in acidic environments are formulated primarily with novolac-based epoxy resins. Such systems:
- Provides high resistance to chemicals such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid and phosphoric acid.
- It is preferred in chemical plants, battery production areas and acid storage tanks.
- Thanks to its low permeability properties, it prevents acids from reaching concrete or metal.
- Corrosion Preventive Epoxy Primers
- Corrosion is one of the most common problems on metallic surfaces. Epoxy primers offer the following advantages:
- Provides cathodic protection with formulations containing zinc phosphate or zinc dust.
- Thanks to its high adhesion power, it creates a solid base for top coat paint systems.
- Provides long-term resistance to salt water, moisture and atmospheric conditions.
- Solvent-Free Epoxy Coatings
Solvent-free epoxies have high solids content and are widely used in industrial floors.
Features :
- Ability to fill cracks and create a smooth surface.
- High mechanical strength (wear, impact and load carrying capacity).
- Superior resistance to chemicals and oils.
- Adhesion Enhancing Epoxy Systems
Epoxy resins provide high adhesion to the surface, helping to extend the life of the coating. Adhesion-enhancing additives ensure maximum adhesion on metal, concrete, and composite surfaces. Even under high temperatures and humidity, the coating prevents detachment from the surface. The service life of the coating system is significantly extended.
Conclusion
Epoxy systems are one of the most reliable methods of protecting modern industrial surfaces against acid, corrosion, and adhesion problems. The right epoxy type reduces maintenance costs and increases surface durability. Epoxy solutions, particularly for chemical plants, metalworking plants, and industrial floors, provide long-term performance and safety. The BLIPOX NOVALAK series performs flawlessly under all these conditions.
