FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT EPOXY COATING

Epoxy coatings are an ideal solution for indoor or enclosed applications which benefit from its durable and versatile nature. One of the first powder coatings to be developed, epoxy finds a home as insulation for electrical components, appliance coatings, corrosion prevention for concrete reinforcement, and countless other uses. These are answers to some of the many questions we receive about this high-quality coating.

  • What applications are epoxy coatings most often used for?

    Popular uses of epoxy coatings include gas and oil pipelines, electrical equipment, and consumer goods. Qualities that make epoxy especially useful include its:

    • Excellent dielectric insulation rating
    • Extreme resistance to chemicals and corrosion
    • Proven durability
    • Superior adhesion to substrates
    • Powerful protection for parts and products when UV exposure isn't a concern

  • When is epoxy a poor coating choice?

    If epoxy has one major weakness, it's found in its poor tolerance for UV exposure, which causes a permanent yellow or amber discoloration and chalky surface. UV stabilizers and absorbers can postpone these effects, but not completely prevent them.

  • Is epoxy a long-lasting powder coating?

    One of the most durable powder coating treatments available, epoxy coatings can last for decades, even with regular use.

  • How are epoxy coatings applied?

    Epoxy coatings can be applied by electrostatic spray coating or fluidized bed techniques, both resulting in an even, resilient, durable protective coat.

  • Can epoxy coatings be colored?

    Epoxy coatings can be applied in a variety of colors, but, as mentioned above, even the best additives can't completely prevent epoxy coatings from yellowing a bit eventually, with UV light exposure.
