Metal corrosion protection manufacturer

Protective coatings producer: Originally created for use in bowling alleys, moisture-cure urethane is extremely tough and durable after it dries to a very high shine. It resists moisture, scratches, stains, and general wear. Its difficult application makes it less of an option for a do-it-yourselfer, though. Plus, the very high level of VOCs it releases can linger in the air for weeks, so all household members will need to relocate for as long as two weeks after application. As the name might suggest, moisture-cure urethane draws moisture from the air to cure, which means that it’s affected by the humidity on the day of application. If the air is very dry, the finish won’t cure or dry evenly. Too humid, and it can start to dry before it’s spread evenly across the floor. An even application of this fickle finish requires a quick hand and an experienced touch.

Like all of our coatings, our water-based primers are eco-friendly without harmful toxins or fumes. And they may be used with Liquiguard floor coatings, as well as other water-based and solvent-based acrylic, epoxy and urethane coatings from other suppliers. Liquiguard primers are also single component solutions designed for quick, safe and easy application. They feature incredibly fast dry times which enable faster applications in mission-critical commercial, industrial and residential applications.

What type of surface preparation is needed for the area in question?Surface preparation is the most important step in the installation process and is critical to long-term performance of the total system. Unfortunately, there is no one “best way” to prepare the surface. The coating selection (thin film or thick) will have a bearing on the type of preparation. Or, to put it another way, the required surface prep can dictate the type of system from a thickness standpoint. A thinfilm coating will require preparation that will not leave a heavy profile. A heavy profile may require a leveling or fill coat before the thin film installation. This could double the estimated material cost. It is also important to remember that new concrete requires proper preparation just as does any old surface. Curing compounds must be removed, a proper profile or roughness achieved, and any surface laitance removed.
