Delivering long-term asset protection in
the most aggressive service conditions,
Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine
Coatings has released Sher-Loxane 800, a
versatile, high-performance polysiloxane
coating that offers enhanced durability
and aesthetics, as well as cost savings.
Sher-Loxane 800 provides a high-gloss
finish to bridges, water tanks, structural
steel and many other steel surfaces in two
coats, reducing total operational costs for
a better bottom line.
The glossy, smooth finish of Sher-Loxane 800 offers exceptional long-term
color and gloss retention, as well as excellent corrosion and chemical resistance
that rivals that of conventional three-coat
systems, according to the company. It also
features excellent adhesion properties and
high abrasion resistance.
Whether applied as a single coat or in
combination with a primer, Sher-Loxane
800 eliminates one step of the coating
system, saving applicators both time
and money. A single coat of the product
takes the place of an epoxy and polyure-
thane topcoat system, while a two-coat
system of Sher-Loxane 800 over a zinc
primer replaces traditional three-coat
systems using zinc primers, epoxies and
polyurethanes. One less coat increases
overall job profitability by reducing
product and labor costs while enabling a
faster return to service. The high-solids,
high-gloss polysiloxane’s long-term du-
rability also reduces costs by extending
maintenance intervals.
“Sher-Loxane 800 is formulated with-
out isocyanates, and has less than 100 g/l
VOC, so it meets stringent environmental
regulations,” said Danica Zeise, product
manager, Sherwin-Williams Protective &
Marine Coatings. “We expect users to ex-
perience significant efficiencies related to
fewer coats and labor hours, less waste
compared to traditional zinc, epoxy, and
urethane systems and extended coating
life cycles and maintenance intervals.”
High-performance Sher-Loxane 800
is recommended for use in a wide vari-
ety of markets and applications, includ-
ing bridges, water tanks, structural steel,
architectural structures, ships, offshore
platforms, piping, roller coasters, heavy
equipment and more.
R.M. Lucas Adds Silicone
Roof Coating
R.M. Lucas Co. announced the addition
of #8400 100% Silicone Roof Coating
to its line of products. The #8400 is a
low solids, single part roof coating that
creates a barrier that is resistant to natural weathering. The coating is durable,
breathable, watertight and weatherproof.
The #8400 creates an offering to the
professional contractor who desires the
performance of a silicone coating at a
lower price point than Lucas #8000
100% Silicone Roof Coating High Solids.
“The introduction of the new low sol-
ids silicone coating expands the Lucas
Co. existing silicone line and makes our
coating systems one of the broadest offer-
ings in the industry” stated Joe Murphy
of R.M. Lucas. #8400 is a suitable for
applications over spray applied polyure-
thane foam, EPDM, PVC, aged acrylic
coatings, concrete, asphalt BUR, modified
bitumen and metal.
PPG Introduces HI-TEMP
808 Liquid Insulation
for Metal Processing
Equipment, Pipes
PPG has introduced PPG HI-TEMP 808
liquid insulation, a seamless composite
material designed as an economical, easy-to-apply alternative to conventional mechanical insulation, according to the firm.
Versatile enough for use on steel,
stainless steel, galvanized steel and nonferrous metals, PPG HI-TEMP 808 liquid
insulation helps reduce energy use, enhance process stability and minimize the
risk of corrosion under insulation (CUI)
by providing a water-tight, anti-conden-sation seal on process equipment and piping at temperatures up to 350˚ F.
As a spray-applied material, PPG HI-TEMP 808 liquid insulation helps facility owners and maintenance engineers
reduce labor and equipment costs by enabling the use of smaller work crews, and
by eliminating the need for measuring
and fabrication of mechanical insulation
and for erecting scaffolding for installation. PPG HI-TEMP 808 liquid insulation
also lasts longer than mechanical insulation and is easily removed and re-applied,
which can greatly reduce short-term re-
pair and long-term maintenance costs.
PPG HI-TEMP 808 liquid insulation
can be coated directly on metal up to 300
degrees F, enabling process equipment to
remain online during product installa-
tion. The material conforms to complex
piping, flanges, vessels and other con-
figurations that are difficult to insulate
conventionally, and it can be used as a
personnel protection material to protect
workers from burn injuries and exposure
to high temperatures.
