Flake Glass for Manual Applications
ACF-100
Our glass flake for manual application coatings is widely used in the anti-corrosion coating industry, and works best when mixed into trowel based applications. ACF-100 is not recommended to be used in coatings requiring spray type applications. We offer finer particles sizes to accommodate spray requirements.
Typical uses: Our high performance additive for manual coatings was developed to form a multi-layer tortuous path for any MVT, significantly reducing the risk from corrosion attack. The most common uses include:
- Anti-corrosion in chemical plants
- Liners for water tanks, boiler tanks, floor linings, fish tanks, silos, petroleum tanks, marine cooling pipes
- Liners for road tankers, containers and vessels, fermentation tanks, reservoirs
- Bottom plate lining and lower sidewalls for petroleum tanks
- Pipelines
- Marine Vessels (Boats, cargo vessels, barges, etc.) coatings – providing durable, long-lasting and robust construction material invulnerable to corrosion and abrasion
- Automotive Coatings
- Roof Coatings
- Coatings of various permanent structures located in oceanic settings, both in the immersion zone and splash zone
Advantages of Glass Flake in Protective Coatings
- Extend the life of protective coatings
- Prevention of cracking and peeling
- Improve wear and corrosion resistance
- Significantly reduce or eliminate moisture vapor transmission (MVT)
