industrial coatings

Industrial coatings are specialized paints and coatings used to protect and enhance the performance of various materials and structures in industrial environments. These coatings are crucial for extending the life of equipment, preventing corrosion, and improving the functionality of surfaces in various sectors including manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and construction. Industrial coatings are essential for protecting and enhancing the performance of assets across various industries. They not only prevent corrosion and wear but also contribute to the safety, efficiency, and aesthetics of industrial operations. As technology advances, the coatings industry continues to innovate, providing smarter and more sustainable solutions to meet the evolving needs of the global market.

functions of industrial coatings 

• corrosion protection: to protect metal structures from corrosion, which can lead to material degradation and structural failures
• chemical resistance: in industrial settings where exposure to harsh chemicals is common, coatings provide essential chemical resistance
• heat resistance: certain coatings are designed to withstand high temperatures, making them suitable for engines, boilers, and exhaust systems
• enhanced durability: coatings add durability to surfaces, making them resistant to wear and tear from physical contact and environmental factors
• aesthetic enhancement: coatings also improve the appearance of industrial equipment and buildings, offering a wide range of colors and finishes

polyurethane coatings

These coatings are valued for their flexibility and excellent weather resistance, making them ideal for outdoor equipment and structures.

adhesives & sealants

The primary value of incorporating adhesives into polyurethane coatings is to improve their ability to adhere to a wide range of substrates, including metals, plastics, concrete, and wood. This strong adhesion is crucial for applications in automotive, construction, and industrial settings, where coatings must maintain their integrity under challenging conditions. Adhesives mixed into polyurethane coatings allow them to be applied over various surfaces with effective bonding, making them highly versatile for multiple applications without the need for extensive surface preparation.

Sealants enhance the waterproofing capabilities of polyurethane coatings, making them ideal for use in environments exposed to moisture and water. This is particularly important in marine applications, roofing, and exterior building surfaces where preventing water ingress is crucial to protect structures from damage. Polyurethane sealants can fill gaps and cracks, providing a continuous, seamless coating that prevents the ingress of pollutants, chemicals, and other environmental elements that could undermine the substrate.

castor-based adhesives & sealants

Castorcin™ Polyol Series for use in polyol-based polyurethane coatings, to provide strong environmental resistance. Castorcin Polyols can cure in a wide range of environments. Their role is critical in extending the life of the coatings and expanding their application across diverse industrial, automotive, and construction projects.
