The secret of the epoxy paint being distinguished from regular paint

As a member of the epoxy paint family, it is one of the most familiar epoxy products, which is widely used in the parking lot and factory floor applications. However, epoxy paint is not only an application of floor paint, it also has many powerful and other application types of paint, and it is fundamentally different from ordinary paint.

The function of epoxy paint comes from the molecular reaction structure of epoxy resin with high strength, shock resistance, corrosion resistance and decomposition resistance. And these properties, it is alkyd paint and nitro paint can not reach. Therefore, the achievement of epoxy paint in the paint industry unshakable position!

Strong attachment ability

1.Industrial Paint

Industrial paint is a coating with a strong adhesion to inorganic materials like metals. It has excellent mechanical properties, wear resistance, and impact resistance. It is primarily used in hardware coating, automotive applications, and metal corrosion protection. Currently, many mechanical paints use industrial epoxy coatings.

2.Machine Tool Paint

This type of paint offers strong adhesion and advantages such as resistance to acids and alkalis, high strength, and long-lasting color stability. It performs well in various environmental conditions and is widely used in low temperatures or on other substrates, such as bridges, docks, and steel structures.

3.Metal Paint

Metal paint features good leveling properties, fast drying, strong adhesion, wear resistance, and impact strength. It maintains a long-lasting bright appearance. It is used in a wide range of applications, including engineering machinery, large instruments, and doors and windows. Prior to application, surface preparation is required.

Functions of Mechanical Paint

1.Protection Function

Mechanical paint provides protection against corrosion, water, oil, chemicals, light, and temperature. Objects exposed to the atmosphere are subject to corrosion and degradation from oxygen and moisture. A coating forms a protective layer on the surface, preventing or delaying these destructive processes, thus extending the lifespan of various materials. Therefore, protection is a primary function of coatings.

2.Decoration Function

Mechanical paint affects color, gloss, patterns, and smoothness. Painting mechanical objects can achieve vibrant, colorful appearances, enhancing the aesthetic quality of living environments and contributing significantly to both material and spiritual aspects of human life.

Main Components of Mechanical Paint

1.Oil: Includes drying oils and semi-drying oils, which are one of the main film-forming substances.

2.Resins: Includes natural and synthetic resins, which are also part of the main film-forming substances.

3.Pigments: Includes coloring pigments, body pigments, and anti-corrosive pigments, which are numerous and are secondary film-forming substances.

4.Thinners: Includes solvents and diluents used to dissolve the above substances and adjust viscosity, serving as auxiliary film-forming substances.

5.Additives:Includes drying agents, curing agents, plasticizers, and moisture-proof agents, which also belong to auxiliary film-forming substances.
