Long-term protection is crucial in industrial applications, which is why the EA9 Finish HB is the ideal choice to prevent corrosion. Besides being an economical coating option, it is designed to prevent corrosion in storage tanks for aqueous solutions such as palm oil derivatives, vegetable oil, potable water and many more. This food-safe coating forms a robust barrier against moisture, chemicals, and other corrosive elements, ensuring the integrity of the tanks over extended periods.
The surfaces become more resistant towards scratches, scuffs, or being worn away by friction, ensuring longer durability over time.
Extend the lifespan of surfaces by maintaining its structural integrity and appearance, reducing the need for frequent repairs or recoating.
Creating a strong and reliable bond between the surface and the paint, giving walls a flawless and long-lasting finish.
EA9 Finish HB is made to withstand exposure to water-based liquids, oils and chemicals, without degrading or losing its protective qualities.
Formulated to withstand exposure to harsh chemicals, ensuring the surface remains free from damage, discolouration, or fading over time.
Non-toxic epoxy coating that meets safety standards and for use in environments where it may come into contact with food or beverages.
