Products in Coatings & Finishes: Marine Applications

SILESTER® XAR is a ready-to-use, prehydrolyzed ethyl silicate hybrid binder. The solvent used in SILESTER® XAR is a blend of ethanol and 2-propanol. This product is conveniently prepared and can be directly utilized in the production of ceramic slips, ramming mixes, and anticorrosion paints without any further processing steps.

Silicone-free, rapid air release agent for use with a wide variety of unsaturated polyester and vinyl ester resins.

Sunspacers™ 04.X are finely divided, optically clear, solid fused amorphous silica micronized powders. This product is specially engineered for paints, liquid and powder coatings, inks, adhesives, and thermoplastics, including UV curable compositions. These micronized powders increase corrosion resistance, reduce shrinkage, improve adhesion, and enhance surface qualities including abrasion, mar and scratch resistance. Sunspacers™ 04.X have a median particle size of approximately 3-4 microns, with a particle size range of 0.5 microns to 13 microns.

Sunspheres™ 200 Nm are optically clear, solid fused amorphous microspheres designed for use in a wide variety of coatings, inks, adhesives, powder coatings, and thermoplastics, including UV curable compositions. These sub-micron sized spheres can be used to improve physical and mechanical properties including reduced shrinkage, improved adhesion, impact resistance, and enhanced surface qualities such as hardness, mar and scratch resistance. The average particle size is 200 nanometers and range in size from about 50 nm to 500 nm.

The Sunspheres™ 200 Nm ST- 3 are surface treated*, optically clear, solid fused amorphous microspheres designed for optimum dispersion in coatings, inks, adhesives, and thermoplastics, including UV curable compositions. Cured films show enhanced physical and mechanical properties including increased corrosion resistance, reduced shrinkage, improved adhesion, and enhanced surface qualities such as mar and scratch resistance. This product is particularly useful in improving impact resistance. The average particle size is 200 nanometers and range in size from 50 to 500 nm.

Optically clear, solid fused amorphous silica microspheres specially engineered for optimum dispersion in paints, coatings, inks, adhesives, and thermoplastics, including UV curable compositions. These microspheres increase corrosion and impact resistance, reduce shrinkage, improve adhesion, and enhance surface qualities including mar and scratch resistance. Ideally suited for specialty applications where mechanical and rheological properties are required. Median particle size of 3 to 4 microns, with a particle size range of 0.5 microns to 92% passing 22 microns.

Optically clear, solid fused amorphous silica microspheres specially engineered for paints, coatings, inks, adhesives, and thermoplastics, including UV curable compositions. These microspheres increase corrosion resistance, reduce shrinkage, improve adhesion and impact resistance, and enhance surface qualities including mar and scratch resistance. The Sunspheres™ 15.0 have a median particle size of approximately 15.0 microns, with 90% of particles passing 45 microns.

Astaply HL4645 offers thermosetting liquid resins, specially formulated for the manufacturing of interior grade plywood. In the cured state, the resin is a cross-linked, insoluble, infusible material.

Polimeros Mexicanos Density+ Flow has melt strength, rigidity and flow recommended for marine parts.

ECOPOWER Crosile®171 Vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMO) is a silane coupling agent with a Vinyl and hydroxyl groups that can be used to enhance the wettability and improve the superhydrophobic characteristics of different composites.

Prime ABS Weather-X 100 is an ABS substrate with an acrylic co extruded cap. If requested a thin layer of acrylic can be extruded on the back side for rigidizing. It offers good weatherability , chemical resistance, and high gloss with good DOI.

Prime Weather X ML200 offers one of the highest esthetics, gloss and depth of image in the industry, our Prime ABS Weather X ML 200 may consist of 3 5 layers but is typically 3 consisting of clear acrylic, colored acrylic and ABS. Key properties are surface hardness, chemical resistance, weatherability , toughness and excellent formability.

Prime ABS Weather-X 500 is an ABS substrate with a co extruded cap of an advanced Amorphous Terpolymer of Acrylic Styrene Acrylonitrile. It offers exceptional durability in weather related environments without painting or other types of UV protection. It can retain its color stability under long term exposure to the sun’s rays. It offers good esthetics, color options, good chemical resistance and high heat performance.

Prime Weather-X ML500 is a multi layer sheet structure of up to 5 layers but is typically 3 consisting of Acrylic, ASA and ABS. An acrylic clear coat finish provides a hard, stain resistant surface that has excellent gloss, depth of image, chemical resistance and surface hardness. This layering technique provides superior UV protection, color stability and ease of formability.
