Electropaint System

Clearclad Anodic electropaint systems combine all the advantages of the application technology with outstanding chemical resistance, high build capability to confer wear resistance, and excellent weathering properties due to a high degree of UV resistance.

Essentially a one-coat paint system, Clearclad Anodic's corrosion-protective properties will be mainly influenced by its thickness and quality of adhesion to the base metal. In this way, it can provide a barrier to corrosive agents and a resist against spread of corrosion.

The base resin concentrate is a pale, tan-colored, free flowing liquid of moderate viscosity. Pigmented and matt variants will vary in appearance and viscosity accordingly. The concentrate should always be pre-mixed either with high-purity demineralized water or bath material at coating solids when making a new bath or replenishing an existing bath, respectively.

One kilo of the base resin concentrate will apply a coating of 1 micron over about 450 m², assuming 100% efficiency. Almost 100% efficiency can be achieved using closed-loop ultrafiltration reclaim.

The product provides superior resistance to a variety of chemicals as well as to UV light.
