Air Dry Coatings

We undertake air dry coatings for components of upto almost any size offering single pack, two pack and three pack systems.

Primers

Primers, including zinc rich primers can be applied as required.

Single Pack Air Dry Coatings

Single pack systems are generally less costly than a powder coating although are not high performance. They can be used in conjunction with a primer although fufill both roles as primer and sealer and are high build with a dry film thicknesses of 100µm. Single pack systems are ideal where subsequent site work such as welding or drilling is undertaken and a final touch up is required with a brush. Our standard one pack system is the 233 Air Drying Alkyd from Cromadex which meets the requirements of Defence Standard 80-27.

Two Pack Air Dry Coatings

Two pack polyurethane systems are available with excellent chemical & corrosion resistance (over 1000 salt spray hours) and are ideal for suitably primed steel or aluminium including galvanised components used in chemically aggressive environments. We offer both the 600 Two Pack Polyurethane Topcoat and the 700 Two Pack Epoxy Topcoat from Cromadex, although we can also supply other systems.

Three Coat Air Dry Coatings

For specialist applications three coat paint systems can be applied for extra durability, corrosion resistance or specialist standards.

• Matt: 30% gloss
• Satin: 60% gloss
• Full Gloss: 80% gloss

Applications

Air dry coatings are ideal for components with heat sensitive elements such as nylon fittings, form in place & attached gaskets and specialist metallic properties.
