Anti-Corrosive Coatings
WACKER provides binders and additives for the formulation of high-quality primers and coatings for corrosion protection that withstand even very harsh environmental conditions.
Zinc-rich paints based on ethyl silicates combine outstanding, long-term corrosion protection of ferrous surfaces with resistance to high temperatures. Typical application areas are bridges, ships and structural steel exposed to severe weather and chemicals.
Primers and Corrosion-Protection Paints
VINNOL® surface coating resins containing carboxyl groups are ideal for formulating primers and corrosion-protection paints.
Benefits:
- Excellent metal adhesion
- High resistance to acids, alkalis and salt solutions
- Good pigment wetting
- Low water absorption
Zinc-dust Coatings, Primers and High-Build Paints
WACKER ethyl silicates are proven binders for the formulation of high-quality zinc-dust coatings for shop primers, primers and high-build paints. HDK® pyrogenic silica is used as an additive for improved handling and rheology control.
Benefits of WACKER Ethyl Silicates:
- Improved corrosion protection
- Good weldability
- Rapid curing at low temperatures
- Overpaintability with all conventional paint systems
Benefits of HDK® Pyrogenic Silica:
- Reduced settling of zinc dust
- Easier stirring
- Prevention of gas formation
- Rheology control
