Epoxy Topcoats: High Strength and Corrosion Resistance
Epoxy topcoats are known for their excellent adhesion, abrasion resistance, and chemical durability, making them ideal for environments exposed to solvents, fuels, and mechanical wear.
Benefits:
- Strong chemical resistance (acids, bases, solvents)
- Exceptional adhesion to metal substrates
- Excellent corrosion protection
- Durable under mechanical stress
Limitations:
- Tends to yellow or chalk under UV exposure
- Less flexible than polyurethane or acrylics
- Typically requires a top layer for UV protection in exposed applications
Best for: Fuel tanks, internal structures, chemical-exposed surfaces
