High Build Solventless Epoxy Glass Flake Coating

Arcoflake is a two pack reinforced with micronised glass-flake epoxy polyamine cured, solventless with high gloss and extra chemical resistant coating for brush as well as airless spray application.


 
 

ARCOFLAKE - Provides a tough impermeable barrier suitable for steel ( pipeline internal, external ship internal, structural coating etc.) and concrete surfaces with excellent adhesion.

ARCOFLAKE - provides extended life of protective coating because of dispersed glass flakes through the coating which prevents the ingress of water vapour and chemical solutions. These glass flakes form a tortuous path of platelets within the coating film, which is totally impervious to moisture, vapour and are highly chemical resistant.

ARCOFLAKE - provides prevention of cracking and peeling because glass flakes provides a thermal stabilization layer in the protective coating and greatly reduces the risk of cracking and peeling of the coating due to thermal shock. superior adhesion is achieved by the surface tension effect of the screened particles of glass flake.

ARCOFLAKE - provides improved wear resistance because glass - flakes increases the hardness of epoxy resin coatings, giving higher resistance to surface wear.

ARCOFLAKE - Excellent resistance to marine, aqueous and several chemical corrosive and abrasion environment

ARCOFLAKE - Low maintenance and ease of reparability has made it assets to OFFSHORE PLATFORMS Incase of heavy damage, the coating can be easily repaired by cleaning the damaged area fathering the surrounding coating and recoating to form the original long lasting protection.

(It covers the requirement of near white blast cleaning of metal surfaces by the use of abrasives. ) concrete surfaces should be free of loose lattice. Moisture in concrete < 10%

Environmental condition : Relative humidity< 85 % Atmospheric temperature > 15°C

Cleaning Solvent : GFC - 1

Thinner : Thinner should not be used. This will adversely affect performance of coating.

Note : Chemical Resistance data is available on request.
