We
commonly receive inquires to determine the best one coat system for a
given application. Here is some information that my be helpful in
understanding the various products.
In general, knowledge of a coating chemistry and how that chemistry will standup in a given environment is a big help in selecting the correct coating or coating system. We asked a DuPont Chemist to help us understand the primary strengths and weaknesses for some of the organic resins used in one coats and primers to aid us in selecting the best system for a given application. There are several common organic resins used in the one coat products:
PAI = Polyamide - Imide resin.
These resins have relatively high temperature resistance, excellent
adhesion to most metals and are fairly easy to put in water systems.
However, basic chemical resistance is not as good as some other choices.
Epoxy =
Epoxy carriers of various types. Characterized as having excellent
adhesion and easy to work with, the relatively low use temperature (300
to 400 F) limits use of these resins.
PES = Polyethersulfone. Excellent toughness, good chemical resistance makes these resins an excellent choice except in harsh solvent environments. These resins are difficult to put in water systems therefore coatings are usually solvent based. Coatings made with PES tend to soften above 400 F.
PPS =
Polyphenylene Sulfide. Excellent toughness and chemical resistance.
These resins are excellent choices for water systems at lower
temperature uses but tend to soften at temperatures above 400 F.
The most common DuPont one coat systems are shown below listed by major resin type used in the system.
For chemical environments, understanding how the resin interacts with the chemicals will help you to choose the right one coat for an application.
* Examples of strong solvents are NMP, THF, DMF and Methylene Chloride. . |

Production Tip
Another "Little Thing" to help save money
Sometimes the introduction of a new product or a variation of an old product into your shop will improve process, employee safety and save dollars.
Many spray guns operators wear shop gloves made of cotton or jersey to cover and protect their hands. “Over spray” will soak into these glove materials and if the gloves are not changed often the skin will become irritated even damaged.
1.
Provides the dexterity required for
2. Repels wet coatings so skin on fingers and hands stays healthy
3. Stays in service much longer than the standard cotton or jersey shop glove
4. Provides substantial savings in supply material cost when used during spray coating instead of non latex dipped cotton or jersey gloves
For these and hundreds of other gloves used by the industrial coater visit www.intechservices.com.
