FLEXICOAT Catalog - EP 137

Two-component high-solid polyamine-cured epoxy base coat. It provides excellent corrosion protection for carbon, stainless and galvanized steel, as well as aluminum and concrete substrates.

FLEXICOAT ЕР 137 corrosion protection coating is specially developed as a single-layer system with the best colour retention and UV resistance features compared to conventional epoxy coatings.

FLEXICOAT EP 137 single-layer coating is an equivalent substitution of multi-layer epoxy and PU based systems in terms of their quality, durability and aesthetics benchmarks.

FLEXICOAT ЕР 137 EPOXY COATING HAS SIMULTANEOUSLY THREE MOST MARKET DEMANDED PROPERTIES OF CORROSION PROTECTION SYSTEMS

Variability

1. Various types of substrates: carbon steel, stainless steel, galvanized steel, aluminum, concrete.

2. Various surface preparation methods (abrasive blast cleaning to grade Sa2.5, Sa2; mechanical surface cleaning to grade St2, St3; laser surface preparation).

Time saving

1. It takes less time to apply the corrosion protection coating due to fast material curing and due to the fact that quality control is required only for one layer of the coating.

2. It takes less time to mature the material application technology due to the fact that it can be applied using standard painting equipment and it is rather easy to use.

All best features in one material

Enhanced colour and gloss retention properties of FLEXICOAT EP 137 are unique for an epoxy-based material, combing protective properties which are proven to be the best for epoxies by a worldwide practice of application.

Thus, as a result of FLEXICOAT EP 137 application the Customer will be provided with a definitely long-term corrosion protection of metal structures and a decoratively attractive coating, which is not required to be covered with top coats.

Cost saving

1. Saving the costs for a number of layers to be applied.

2. Less range of the coatings to be used.

3. Less amount of the coatings to be purchased via reduced consumption due to high solid of the material.

4. Saving the costs for current repairs due to high durability of the protective coating.
