The idea that only solventborne coatings can deliver excellent durability resistance to corrosion and chemicals has been completely discredited in the past few years.
Don’t believe it? Then believe the ISO – the International Organisation for Standardisation.
When tested to the industry standard ISO-12944-6 : 2018, a blend of Selemix WB Single Stage acrylic gloss and matt achieved one of highest ratings for medium corrosivity (C3VH), high corrosivity (C4H) and very high industrial corrosivity (C5M).
And that means that industries needing coatings for use in aggressive corrosion environments such as containers, cabins, generators, metal fabrication or machinery, for example, can reliably and confidently specify waterborne systems.
As can those who need a high degree of effectiveness against chemicals.
For example, waterborne systems such as Selemix Waterborne Single Stage also pass the most aggressive Fluedex testing required by transformer manufacturers and can withstand direct contact with liquid nitrogen (-196 degrees) without delamination or loss of flexibility after exposure, making it suitable for use in chemical plants or other industries that require complete confidence in the coatings they specify for use at low temperatures.
Want durability? It’s time to think waterborne.
