The Technology; Epoxies, Vinylesters and ChemLine - MarineLine - RaiLine Form 3 Dimensional Screen-Like Structures when Cured

The Greater the Distance Between the Crosslinks, the Greater the Permeation Causing Chemical Attack and Absorption

Problems with Epoxies

• Only 2 functionality
• High concentration of Hydroxyl (OH) groups allowing attack by acids and solvents
• Large opening between epoxy groups allowing penetration

Vinylester’s and Epoxy’s Open Screen Structure		784’s Closed Screen Structure
AGGRESSIVE CHEMICAL MOLECULES PENETRATE INTO AND THROUGH THE POLYMER GROUPS ATTACKING BOTH THE INNER POLYMER STRUCTURE AND THE SUBSTRATE.		AGGRESSIVE CHEMICAL MOLECULES CANNOT PENETRATE THE HIGH DENSITY SURFACE. INNER POLYMER STRUCTURE AND SUBSTRATE PROTECTED FROM CHEMICAL ATTACK.

Siloxirane is resistant to 98% of all corrosive acids, alkalis, solvents, gasses and materials at various temperatures. Our polymer scientists have conducted over 5,000 chemical and physical tests of Siloxirane resin and coating systems. In applications testing of Siloxirane versus conventional coatings such as vinylesters, Hi build epoxies, rubbers and Hi bake phenolics, Siloxirane proved superior in virtually all performance aspects, and in economic cost comparisons.
