What is epoxy phenolic coating?

Phenolic coatings offer consistent high-quality corrosion protection for a wide range of applications including immersion service for most acids, solvents, and salts. This epoxy phenolic coating is chemical resistant and typically used where low pH environments and higher temperatures are factors.

What is glass flake paint?

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. A glass flake coating can be very thin with thicknesses ranging from 8 microns to less than 1 micron.

Is epoxy phenolic toxic?

Phenolics. Phenolic resin has low toxicity. For their excellent mechanical resistance, high heat resistance under load, and high impact resistance, phenolic resins are used in structural composite materials.

Is epoxy phenolic plastic?

Epoxy phenolic resins are phenolic resins modified at the phenolic hydroxyl group to include an epoxide functional group (usually a –CH2-(C2H3O) group, where -(C2H3O) is the three-membered epoxide ring). These resins are often used as coatings or resistive top coats for drums, pipes, floors, tanks and automotive parts.

How do you make glass flakes?

Manufacture. There are two main methods to manufacture glass flakes. The first is the “bubble method”, where a glass marble is turned into liquid and then blown into a bubble. It is then smashed into glass flakes and sieved by particle-size distribution.

What is the difference between epoxy resin and phenolic resin?

Phenolic resins and epoxy resins are two types of materials that we can use in this purpose. The key difference between phenolic resin and epoxy resin is that phenolic resins show a low level of heat resistance, whereas epoxy resins show a high level of heat resistance.

Is phenolic resin safe?

Phenolic resin has low toxicity. For their excellent mechanical resistance, high heat resistance under load, and high impact resistance, phenolic resins are used in structural composite materials.

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.

Is there such a thing as glass flake paint?

They were produced predominantly with the polyester resins used previously for GRP hand lay-up or manufactured as a vinyl ester variant for improved chemical resistance. Epoxy formulations containing glass flake were not common, and until more recent times were few and far between. Glass flake coatings are often criticized in their flexibility.

What can Sherwin glass epoxy be used for?

Formulated for immersion service or where steel or concrete protection is desired, Sher-Glass® Glass Flake Reinforced Epoxy can be applied in a wide range of harsh industrial environments. Interested in learning more or purchasing this product?

What kind of coating is EPO phen FF?

A two-component, flake-filled MIO, amine-cured, epoxy phenolic novolac coating. Epo-Phen™ FF Coating is formulated for use under thermal insulation at elevated or cryogenic temperatures.
