ES-300 resin represents a novel technology for today’s coatings formulator. The coatings exhibit strong anti-corrosive characteristics, also display antifouling and anti-icing properties.
The coatings from this polymer are hard, tough and have excellent abrasion and solvent resistance. These finishes are also resistant to water, alkali and acids, suitable to use for underwater application.
The most common substrates for Epoxy-Siloxane coatings are: metal, wood, plastic, concrete and masonry substrates.
ES-300 can be formulated into a very low VOC, corrosion and weather resistant coating.
These systems exhibit excellent dirt pickup resistance and anti-graffiti properties.
As with any product, use of ES-300 in a given application must be tested (including but not limited to field testing) in advance by the user to determine suitability.
Special features
- Provides faster curing systems – 2-3 hours
- Optimizes flexibility, reducing brittleness associated with standard epoxy-polysiloxane blends
- Superior chemical resistance at reduced coating weights
- Improved weatherability and heat resistance
- Increase corrosion resistance in epoxy-polysiloxane coatings
- Low viscosity allows for very low-VOC formulating
- Allows isocyanate free, ambient cure systems
- excellent flow characteristics
- extraordinary gloss retention and weather resistance
- suitable for ultra-high solids coatings
- anti-graffiti effect
- anti-fouling effect
