A durable and efficient choice to meet performance demands and environmental regulations

Waterborne two-component (WB 2K) epoxy coatings provide a low-VOC, high-performance alternative to solvent-based systems. Designed for industrial applications, they offer durability, corrosion resistance, and chemical protection while ensuring compliance with environmental regulations. 

These coatings rely on a crosslinking reaction that forms a strong protective film. The formulation focus is on balancing curing speed, pot life, and film performance to maximise adhesion and longevity. Our results show that WB 2K industrial epoxy coatings provide a reliable, high-performance solution for industrial applications, combining enhanced protection, extended service life, and regulatory 

Benefits: 

Our WB 2K epoxy coatings formulations provide a reliable, high-performance solution for industrial applications, through: 

  • Controlled curing and pot life: Formulations ensure fast, efficient crosslinking while maintaining workability during application. 
  • Corrosion and chemical resistance: Optimised coatings offer strong protective properties, preventing chemical and environmental degradation. 
  • Stability and application performance: Maintain good film formation, adhesion, and compatibility across surfaces. 
  • Regulatory and operational benefits: Reduce VOC emissions, improve workplace safety, and offer fast-drying, easy-to-apply solutions for industrial use. 

Key materials: 

Key raw materials used to deliver the combination of enhanced protection, extended service life, and regulatory compliance: 

  • Epoxy Resins: Liquid, solid, and emulsion-based epoxies to balance curing speed, mechanical strength, and VOC levels. 
  • Curing Agents: Various amine and amidoamine-based hardeners to enhance adhesion, reactivity, and durability. 
  • Anti-Corrosive Pigments & Fillers: Functional additives to improve corrosion resistance and mechanical reinforcement.
