CORROSION RESISTANCES
ES2 pigments are made from a high-performance stainless alloy and are resistant to corrosive conditions. ES2 pigments are therefore suitable for even the most corrosive environments and will maintain their appearance after many years’ exposure. ES2 pigments help to reduce the effect of thermal loss / degradation by enhancing heat transfer through the coating. Typical transfer loss is ≤1%.
UV DEGRADATION PREVENTION
ES2 pigments form a multi-layer structure throughout the paint film. This creates a barrier layer which reflects sunlight away from the paint film preventing ultraviolet rays from penetrating. As a result, UV degradation of individual polymer molecules is eliminated, the film integrity is maintained, and the pigment particles are well anchored to the substrate. The resultant smooth, hard finish stops dirt from accumulating.
CORROSION RESISTANCE
The multi-layer structure of the ES2 pigments slows the passage of water molecules into the film and acts as an effective moisture barrier. This prevents subsequent swelling and deterioration of the protective film.
