SEI Chemical’s exterior fleet vehicle coating

SEI Chemical’s new EVP-200 Exterior Vehicle Protector is suitable for vehicles, equipment, machinery and architectural applications, and prevents tar, mud, dirt, cement and graffiti from adhering in addition to preventing color fade, corrosion and UV attack.

SEI Chemical has introduced EVP-200 Exterior Vehicle Protector, a single component and zero-VOC anti-stick, anticorrosion, UV blocking and fade preventative protective coating for truck fleets, industrial equipment, machinery and specific architectural applications.

The new EVP-200 Exterior Vehicle Protector is formulated to greatly increase the life-span and reduce the maintenance and cleaning costs to keep fleet vehicles and equipment clean and looking like new. Designed to overcoat virtually any industrial surface or coating, EVP-200 is ideally suited for the exterior of redi-mix concrete trucks, haulers, commercial fleets, industry equipment, heavy construction equipment and can be used in high-end architectural applications. When cured, the coating provides a high quality, non-stick and durable finish and offers performance that lasts up to 20 years.

When sprayed on, the coating cures to a hard and non-stick finish that eliminates the need for harsh cleaners commonly used to clean industrial vehicles and equipment that are environmentally destructive promote corrosion and ruin or shorten a coatings life span. This single component zero-VOC coating utilizes SEI’s in-house synthesized fluoropolymer at a very high concentration. It also incorporates a nano-partic-ulate that promotes durability and abrasion resistance. The coating is virtually self-cleaning as it prohibits materials including tar, cement, mud and dirt, among other hydrocarbon-based or chemical products to adhere.

EVP-200 Exterior Vehicle Protector is available in clear and it achieves a tack free finish in four to six hours and fully cures in 24 hours. Suitable surfaces include powder coated and other painted surfaces, ferrous, non-ferrous and galvanized metals, fiberglass, carbon fiber, concrete, masonry, stone and wood.

COATING PROTECTS STEEL AND FIBERGLASS BOAT BOTTOMS Designed for marine vessel hulls, Xiom Corp’s Ship and Boat Bottom Coating patent-pending powder coating is poly-mer/ceramic-based and contains no TBT or VOCs. The coating has a network of evenly dispersed active copper oxide and silver ions in a polymer matrix that is fully melted when applied with Xiom’s proprietary thermal spray process. The polymer matrix serves to hold the copper oxide in place for years. Even if there should be some break or tear in the coating, there is a nylon modified fuse bond epoxy between the hull and coating, maintaining integrity.
