Hydrocarbon Coatings
Accurate Measurements
Hydrocarbon resins are used in paints, stained and protectants in wood, two-component epoxies, marine coatings, pipe and metal coatings, with paper coating production, fireproofing, and heat production. When the goal is to offer protection from heat, combustion, rust, abrasion, chipping, corrosion, and friction, extend durability, decrease dry-time, prevent chipping or peeling, offer protection from UV rays, waterproof or provide an impenetrable layer – hydrocarbon coatings are applied. The necessity to measure the amount of moisture or coat weight in the process is ideal for the user to reduce waste and increase the efficiency of production. Users can see a return on their investment of moisture measurement in as little as 30 days.
Hydrocarbon coatings have multiple uses:
- affordable protection from severe temperature fluctuations
- corrosive and high load/high-stress environments
- reducing friction
- increasing thermal stability
- increasing wear life of parts and products
- provide corrosion resistance & gives coating durability
- enhance adhesion & dry time
