“Because FasTop 12 TC only
needs six hours to allow light foot
traffic and 12 hours for full return
to service, facilities will realize
meaningful reductions in downtime com-
pared to the typical epoxy or urethane top
coatings used in these applications. This
cuts downtime in half, if not more, com-
pared to other standard top coatings.”
Fas Top 12 TC can be applied to con-
crete and steel floors in food processing
facilities, restaurants and commercial
kitchens, and other constantly wet areas.

AkzoNobel Aerospace Coatings
and Pantheon Enterprises
develop Metaflex SP
AkzoNobel Aerospace Coatings and Pan-
theon Enterprises, a manufacturer of
chrome-free aircraft pretreatments have
been working together over the last two
years to develop an advanced chrome-free
aircraft pretreatment that will be sold
globally through AkzoNobel Aerospace
Coatings’ global distribution network.
The pretreatment, to be marketed under
the AkzoNobel Metaflex brand, will be
known as Metaflex SP and has been de-
veloped to meet the AMS3095 specifica-
tion as part of a number of AkzoNobel
Aerospace coatings systems.

Deposition Sciences introduces
its latest MicroDyn IR optical
coatings

Deposition Sciences, Inc. (DSI), a manufacturer of durable thin film optical coatings, has introduced new sputtered long wavelength infrared optical coatings. The company’s proprietary MicroDyn sputtering deposition platform now delivers eight-mi-cron longwave pass (LWP) and 10-micron narrow bandpass (NBP) filters with superior blocking capabilities, the company said.

The in-band transmittance levels have also been enhanced, making these advanced thin film coatings ideal for a variety of applications, such as gas sensing and thermal imaging.

DSI’s new process creates sputtered films
that feature increased abrasion resistance
relative to evaporated films and are much
more economical to produce in higher vol-
umes. Because of the intrinsically low tem-
perature of the sputtering process, the coat-
ings are compatible with photoresists, en-
abling the filters to be patterned using
standard photolithographic techniques.

Jotun launches Jotomastic 90 for corrosion resistance applications Jotun has introduced Jotamastic 90, one of the most technologically advanced surface tolerant repair and maintenance primers in the market, the company said. Jotamastic 90 is a highly durable coating featuring benefits such as corrosion resistance, shorter overcoating intervals, wider topcoat compatibility and increased color flexibility using Jotun’s Multi Colour Industry (MCI) tinting system. The new generation product has exceptional corrosion resistance and is suitable for the most severe environments. It has reduced drying time by up to 40 percent compared to ex-

Cortec launches Ecoline coatings

Cortec Corporation has introduced Ecoline 3220 and Ecoline 3690 coatings. Both are biobased and biodegradable coatings, developed to replace traditional oil-based rust preventatives, and are designed for extended temporary protection of multimetals. If needed they can be removed using a biobased Ecoline Surface Cleaner/Degreaser, eliminating expensive disposal costs associated with oils, the company said. Ecoline 3220/3690 are improved replacements for flammable solvents and petroleum-based products, and conform to NACE Standard RP0487-2000.

Ecoline 3220 is a canola oil-based addition to Cortec's biodegradable line of products made with renewable resources. It is a ready-to use temporary coating that offers a film, which clings to metal surfaces, providing contact corrosion protection in storage and shipment. In addition Ecoline 3220 provides long lasting vapor corrosion inhibition, as well as balance of corrosion protection and lubrication. It is intended for indoor or sheltered protection for up to two years.

Ecoline 3690 offers an open air corrosion protection and is can serve as a replacement for more expensive solvent-based rust preventatives. Made from renewable materials and containing canola oil as a carrier, it has good thermostability and no effect on rubber, plastics or paints. This coating is designed for marine and high humidity conditions. The film is self-healing and moisture displacing, providing protection against aggressive environments.
