Why Bonding Strength Matters for Polymer Coatings (and NOT for EonCoat)

Polymer Coating Bonding Process When choosing a traditional polymer corrosion-resistance coating, it’s important to consider pull-off strength, or how much force is required to separate the polymer from the substrate. This is important because the source of a polymer’s corrosion resistance is how tightly it can bond with the substrate… 

European Chemical Agency Proposes Ban on Two Common Chemicals in Protective Coatings

The European Chemical Agency (ECHA) recently proposed adding seven chemicals to their “Substances of Very High Concern” (SVHC). All seven of these chemicals have been proven to be toxic carcinogens. Three of the chemicals, strontium chromate, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and hydrazine are common chemicals used in corrosion coatings and could be… 

Seawater Corrosion Test

A Corrosion Test to see the last coating standing began on 12/30/10 at 12 noon. During the duration of the test 14.1 gallons of seawater (on average) is sprayed on the samples. There are four hours of spray followed by four hours of simulated sun lamps (426 nano-meter light waves).…
