Glass Flake Epoxy Paints are anti-corrosive coatings that protect structures against corrosion. Anti-corrosive glass flake pigments protect the substrates because there are so many tightly overlapping glass flakes in the coating which resist the permeation of gases and liquids is quite high relative to other types of coatings such as organic resin coatings.
Here are some advantages of glass flake epoxy coatings:
- Good chemical resistance
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- Good mechanical properties and abrasion resistance
- Good adhesion to substrates
These special heavy-duty two-component glass flake coatings are widely used for splash zone areas of offshore structures. Glass flake epoxy coatings are compatible with cathodic protection and are resistant to seawater and fresh water for use in splash and tidal zone. These coatings also comply with NORSOK M-501 System7.
Here are some applications of glass flake epoxy coatings:
– Chemical Tank Lining
– Splash and Tidal Zone
– Storage Tanks

What is the recommended thickness of glass flake epoxy coatings?
According to the product, the thickness would be different. For example IriGlass is recommended to be applied 275 microns WFT. In paint systems, glass flake paints are usually suggested 500-1000 microns.
How much is the shore hardness?
Not measured. In fact Glass flake Coatings are rigid and very hard(maybe shore D Hardness: 80).
