Anti-Corrosive Coatings Glass Flake K-50

From the early 80s glass flake coatings started to become more accepted, as their performance and the benefits of long life and hence low whole life-cycle cost became apparent. At the same time prices, compared with other coatings, dropped due to the larger scale production of raw materials. This led to greater acceptability of these coatings within the market place. It was during this period, that much research was carried out regarding the use of glass flake as a barrier pigment, and the types of coatings using it increased significantly. This work eventually spilled into other fields.

Kmeris mineral is a professional manufacturer supplier of high performance Glass Flake products in China. Our Glass Flake is widely used in anti-corrosive coatings, paints, and pigments. Our glass flake features for overlapping layers of glass resist water and chemicals permeating the paint film. The addition of our glass flake also increases the flexibility, hardness, and abrasion resistance of coatings.

Application:

Glass flakes are widely used in anti-corrosion adhesives, anti-corrosion coatings, plastic products, petroleum development, marine facilities, chemical industry, power, hydropower plants, painting, metallurgy, sewage treatment, nuclear facilities, smoke exhaust and desulfurization equipment, bridge anti-corrosion, special coatings, pearlescent pigments, and construction fields.

The benefits of using plate-like barrier fillers, such as mica and micaceous iron oxide in anti-corrosive coatings in order to reduce moisture vapour transmission (MVT) have been known for a number of years. Other barrier fillers with varying attributes such as aluminium and zinc flakes have also been used as combination anodic and barrier fillers with varying degrees of success but may be problematical due to oxidation of the metal.
