What is glass flake epoxy?
A high solids, low VOC, high build glass flake epoxy, Interzone 505 is a tough, fast drying primer that provides excellent long term anticorrosive and abrasion protection. Interzone 505 is designed for the protection of steelwork in severe corrosive environments, such as splash zones, pilings and chemical plants.
What is glass flake used for?
Glassflake is extensively used as an in-situ barrier in coatings and polymers, to improve reinforcement and thermal properties. Sub-micron thickness Glassflake is used as a unique substrate for metal oxides to produce effect pigments.
What is glass flake coating?
A glass flake coating is any coating material that is applied to a base material in order to prevent corrosion that has the addition of very small, thin pieces of glass. This type of coating can have superior resistance to gas and liquid permeation.
Is glass flake paint?
Glassflakes or glass flake particles form dense, inert barriers within the paint film. Overlapping layers of glass resist water and chemicals permeating the paint film. The addition of glass also increases the flexibility, hardness and abrasion resistance of coatings.
Which is the best epoxy coating for glass flake?
With proven track record spanning over 30 years, low VOC Interzone 1000 is a high build, two component epoxy coating pigmented with lamellar glass flake. Interzone 1000 extends asset lifetime by providing outstanding abrasion and corrosion resistance to steelwork located in the harshest offshore environments.
What is the thickness of a glass flake coating?
A glass flake coating can be very thin with thicknesses ranging from 8 microns to less than 1 micron. This type of coating can have superior resistance to gas and liquid permeation.
Which is better marathon 1000 gf or glass flake epoxy?
Marathon 1000 GF is easy to apply with standard application equipment. Traditional glass flake epoxy coatings have difficulty in achieving a smooth finish – whereas Marathon 1000 GF has good flow properties and gives a smooth finish.
What can Sherwin glass epoxy be used for?
