Quaker Chemical claims that both the coatings offer process responsiveness for quick-dry and cure and are non-hazardous, posing no severe risk for handling to employees, and are friendly to the environment, therefore helping customers reduce their environmental footprint.
Quakercoat 102 is designed for the day-to-day transfer of pipes and tubes, and for temporary protection against moisture and other elements that are precursors in the process of corroding unprotected metals. It is a conventional, ready-to-use, water borne acrylic system.
Martin Tellez, product manager of tube & pipe coatings at Quaker Chemical, said: “It offers good outdoor performance, early water resistance, and excellent slip and marring protection, with an overall balanced set of properties. Quakercoat 102 is currently sold in clear and black, and it can be matched to any color at a customer’s request.”
According to the company, Quakercoat 105 is designed to protect pipes for longer periods of time during storage and transport. It is also a temporary coating that offers outdoor performance at low DFT’s (0.8 – 1.2 mils) with corrosion protection for more than 400 hours of salt spray performance at one-mil of application (ASTM-117).
