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

“We Help Innovate – With Product Know-How and Applications Support”

Coating producers always want to supply higher-performance formulations and to provide fresh impetus through regular product innovations. At the same time, the products have to comply with increasingly stricter environmental demands. How can the experts at Wacker Chemie be of assistance here? An interview with the Industrial Coatings team.

Heat Shield for Cookware

Hybrid coatings based on organic polymers and silicones protect pans, exhaust pipes and wood-burning stoves equally well, and silicone resins add a special degree of heat resistance to such coatings.
