Our marine and protective coatings protect metal and concrete structures from corrosion, fire and harsh environmental conditions, particularly exposure to salt water.
We offer both waterborne and solventborne solutions tailored for marine vessels, offshore platforms, yachts and container ships. Our waterborne coatings offer exceptional environmental performance with low VOCs, while our solventborne options provide robust protection in demanding applications. Durability is a cornerstone of our products, ensuring long-lasting performance and minimal maintenance.
Silanes like DYNASYLAN® from Evonik are indispensable for marine and protective coatings as they enhance adhesion on metal surfaces, making coatings robust and durable. In the maritime industry, hulls of ships and boats are coated with silane-based coatings to protect them from saltwater and algae growth. Offshore platforms benefit from the excellent corrosion protection provided by silanes, which form a barrier against moisture and salty air. In the industry, tanks and pipelines are coated to protect them from chemicals and abrasion. Silanes impart hydrophobic properties to coatings, reducing the adhesion of water and dirt, which extends the lifespan of infrastructures like bridges and port facilities, even under extreme conditions.
VISIOMER® Specialty Methacrylates for Long-Lasting Performance and Low Maintenance Need
VISIOMER® methacrylate monomers are key components of modern coating systems, providing superior adhesion to polar surfaces like minerals, glass, and metals. For instance, VISIOMER® MEEU 25M, VISIOMER® MEEU 50W, VISIOMER® HEMA-P 70M and VISIOMER® HEMA-P 100 are popular options that enhance adhesion to these surfaces. In direct-to-metal coatings, these monomers also improve corrosion resistance, making them ideal for use in harsh environments. With their unique properties, VISIOMER® methacrylate monomers play a vital role in the development of advanced protective coatings that meet the demands of diverse industrial applications
