Applications
Glassflake Coatings
OVERVIEW
Glassflake is incorporated into polyester, vinylester, epoxy and other types of resins to create a maze-like structure that is 5–20 times more impermeable than resin alone.
Glassflake coatings have proven to be most suitable for applications where good corrosion resistance and excellent mechanical properties are required. They have an outstanding corrosion resistance to a wide range of acids, alkalis, solvents and salt solutions and they also have excellent thermal stability.
Chemco’s glassflake coatings are widely used for chemical process equipment in the form of process vessels, storage tanks, pipes and ducts.

SOLUTIONS
Polyester Glassflake
Chem-glass™ 200 Series
Glassflake polyester coatings are suitable for many applications because they form a tough, highly impermeable barrier to corrosion.
These products are recommended where long lasting performance is required. Their unique characteristics (optimum protection from the harshest and most severe operating environments) make them an ideal choice for metal, concrete and other substrates.
These coatings are available in 2 versions:
SOLUTIONS
Vinylester Glassflake
Chem-tect™ 300 Series
Chemco’s vinylester range has provided the most cost effective, long-term tank lining solution for over 30 years.
These vinylester coatings have now superseded polyester due to their ability to handle the most aggressive chemicals at higher temperatures. They offer long-term corrosion protection across the full pH range (1 – 14) and are particularly effective in acidic environments at high temperatures where conventional epoxy paints can’t function.
These coatings are available in 6 versions:
SOLUTIONS
Epoxy and Epoxy Novolac
Epo-chem™ 500 Series
Epo-chem™ 500 series is based on a range of solvent-free epoxy resins reinforced with screened glassflake that can be applied to metal, concrete and other substrates. They form a durable barrier to weathering, corrosion and temperature. These coatings have excellent, all-round mechanical properties thus making them ideal protection for various installations, plant and equipment.
These coatings are available in multiple versions:
SOLUTION
High Temperature Glassflake Coating
Hot-cote™ RD 900 is a high temperature, solvent-free, glassflake epoxy coating.
It offers excellent resistance to high temperatures (up to 210ºC) and chemical environments in immersed conditions.
