Dura-Zen™ Epoxy
Dura-Zen™ Epoxy powder topcoats offer excellent adhesion, flexibility and abrasion resistance for interior or decorative applications not subject to prolonged UV radiation. Epoxy powder topcoats can be formulated to be FDA compliance or as functional coatings for substrate protection where inherent toughness, chemical resistance, corrosion resistance or temperature sensitivity is needed. Epoxy powder topcoats are not recommended on products that will be subject to exterior exposure.
Typical Applications: Appliances, indoor metal furniture, general metal finishing, pipe coatings, under-hood automotive components, rebar, battery boxes, electrical equipment, motors, hospital equipment, high voltage switch gear, PC boards and battery cases.
Dura-Zen™ Polyester
Dura-Zen™ Polyester/TGIC powder coatings are highly durable and have good chemical resistance, offer excellent UV resistance and good corrosion resistance. Suitable for both interior and exterior products and available in several degrees of durability including standard durable TGIC (good), super durable (better) and ultra-durable (best). Polyester powder coatings typically exhibit good edge coverage, flow and leveling. Can be formulated in smooth, textures, river textures, veins, leather textures and more.
Typical Applications: Agriculture and construction equipment, recreational vehicles, aluminum extrusions, automotive parts, air conditioners, point-of-purchase displays, fencing, gas cylinders, lawn and garden equipment, lawn furniture, appliances, pipe coatings and electrical enclosures.
Dura-Zen™ Polyester Urethane
Dura-Zen™ Polyester Urethane topcoats combine very smooth, exceptional thin film capabilities, with excellent mar and chip resistance and good weathering properties. Suitable for both interior and exterior products and available in standard durable (good) or super durable (better). Adhesion to properly pretreated substrates will provide very durable coatings with long-term resistance to humidity, UV resistance and corrosion. Can be formulated to offer excellent chemical resistance properties.
Typical Applications: Agriculture and construction equipment, lighting fixtures, lawn and garden equipment, electrical enclosures, playground equipment, air conditioners, automotive trim and patio furniture.
Dura-Zen™ Hybrid
Dura-Zen™ Hybrid topcoats are blended from epoxy and polyester resins to produce films that are an economical alternative to standard epoxy and polyester coatings. Hybrid coatings share many characteristics with standard epoxy-based powder coatings, but include improved resistance to over-bake yellowing during cure, somewhat softer films and slightly improved weatherability. Offering good chemical resistance properties, good corrosion resistance properties and limited UV exposure properties. Hybrid coatings primarily function as decorative interior coatings and are not considered suitable for exterior applications, even though their deterioration and discoloration when exposed to sunlight is slower than pure epoxies.
Typical Applications: Agriculture and construction equipment, office furniture, shelving, general metal finishing, hot water heaters, power tools, fire extinguishers and oil filters.
Dura-Zen™ Super Durable TGIC Polyester
Dura-Zen™ Super Durable TGIC Polyester powder topcoats are high gloss coatings designed for high performance exterior applications where outstanding weathering properties are desired. Dura-Zen™ super durable features excellent weather resistance, light-fastness, anti-yellowing properties, and excellent flow and leveling.
Typical Applications: Agriculture and construction equipment, outdoor furniture, railings, playground equipment, towers, steel structures and building facades.
