AnCatt has invented a heavy-duty anticorrosion coating system consists of a unique primer which does not contain any heavy-metal anticorrosion pigments, a top layer, and an optional interlayer. This system functions as an effective ion-barrier protects metals from corrosions.

Our Coating Features

• Heavy-Duty Anti-Corrosion Protections: 5,000 hours of Salt Fog (ASTM B 117) and Cyclic Weathering (ASTM D 5894) Exposures with no rusting or blistering, and less than 1 mm of undercutting. Also, the panels had no visible changes in appearance, including cracking, flaking, and chalking. The exposure tests reached 5,000 hours by the beginning of February, 2010 (click here for pictures and details)
• Environmentally Friendly: The primer contains no heavy-metal pigments such as Zinc, Chromate, or Lead
• Very Good Adhesion: Tensile adhesion (pull-off strength) was 700-800 psi on samples following 1000 hours cyclic weathering exposure. (click here for pictures and details)
• Scratch and Pinhole Tolerant
• Protect Many Metals besides Iron/steel, for example, Zinc, Aluminum, Copper , Silver, Titanium, etc.
• Surface Tolerant
• Two-Component aliphatic urethane is used as the topcoat resin that provide
  • Exceptional gloss retention
  • Excellent abrasion resistance
  • Excellent chemical resistance
• Light Weight
• Low Raw Materials Costs
• Easy to Manufacture

Typical Uses

Our coating system could be used in severe conditions to protect structural steel, pipeline, tanks, bridges, offshore platforms, marine hulls, superstructures, decks, etc.

Our primer serves as an excellent heavy-metal free replacement for existing heavy-metal based vinyl wash primers with better performance.

Anti-Corrosion Market

Worldwide, trillions of dollar lost to corrosion annually. In fact recent studies estimate the direct cost of corrosion in the United States to be nearly $300 billion dollars per year.

Hexavalent Chromate is known carcinogen and highly toxic to the environment. The regulations are tightening on its usage. But for its superior anti-corrosion abilities, primers containing chromate are still being producing by almost all major paint companies. None of the existing chromate-free anti-corrosion coating system can survive rigid salt fog test like ours and came out beautifully with no any rust or blister and surprising minimum undercutting, a result even the existing chromate coating system cannot achieve.
