Glass Flakes Application
Glass Flakes is a C glass platelet with thickness of 5 micron. it is made of 1200℃ melt glass marble, by blowing bubble cooling smashing filter milling and other processing steps. In addition, glass flakes are substances mixed in a paint as a lining material and applied onto surfaces of metals and concretes, and also is utilized in applications such as pigments and cosmetics. Please refer to Specification for chemical component and particle size distribution.
How does it work
It particle form dense, inert barriers within the paint film. Therefore overlapping layers of glass resist water and chemicals permeating the paint film. The addition of glass also increases the flexibility, hardness and abrasion resistance of coatings.
Advantages
- Tough, flexible, abrasion resistant
- Extensive track record includes: offshore, subsea, chemical tanks and process vessels
- Specifications up to 25 years to 1st major maintenance are achievable
- Chemical resistance to a wide range of cargos
- Specifications can be tailored to customers end requirements
FGD, Coating and Pigment fields all use glass flake as an important substance.
Anti-corrosive Coating
As the name implies, glass flake coating is paint with glass flake added. The flakes are only microns thick and make the coating much tougher than ordinary industrial paint. The principle types of glass flake coatings are epoxy and vinyl ester.
- Chemical resistance to a wide range of cargos
- Specifications up to 25 years to 1st major maintenance are achievable
- Extensive track record includes: offshore, subsea, chemical tanks and process vessels
Glass Flake Mortar
Glass Flake Mortar which is specially-formulated flake compound made from vinyl ester (epoxy) resins and chemical-inert glass flake can be applied in power generation plant, garbage incineration plant and waste water treatment plant. C-12V, C-12E, C-28V and C-28E are essencial substances for those fields.
- Excellent bonding strength to metal or concrete
- Easy fabrication and versatile processing methods (spray and roller)
- Excellent in chemical resistance, heat resistance and Solvent resistance
Pigment
Made by the glass flake, the pigment as its unique soft pearl luster, has unparalleled effect that can't be achieved by others. Special surface structure, high refractive index and good transparency in the transparent medium to create the same effect with pearl. The C-12N,C-28N and C-150N are ideal materials for this application.
