It’s common for untreated components to experience some form of corrosion, which can negatively impact production capabilities, waste valuable resources, cause contamination, and curb usability. Improve material lifespan with high-performance corrosion-resistant coatings from Delta Coatings.
Anti-corrosion coatings can help deter material degradation brought on by oxidation, moisture, and chemical exposure, among others. They function as a barrier preventing contact between corrosive materials and chemical compounds. Additional benefits of corrosion-preventative coatings include:
Delta Coatings is a leading provider of industrial application coatings and linings for oil and gas, alternative energy, wastewater treatment, semiconductor, and chemical processing markets. Our team combines decades of experience with innovative technologies to keep your assets in service and corrosion free.
We offer a wide array of corrosion-resistant coatings, which are tailored to provide superior elemental protection to materials in use in harsh conditions. Our line of anti-corrosion coatings includes
While all of these coatings protect against corrosion, they are manufactured from varying raw materials and provide differing levels of performance and sustainability.
Xylan® Coatings are a family of fluoropolymer coatings designed to prevent corrosion of Original Equipment Manufacture, or OEM, components. Made from low-friction wear-resistant fluoropolymer composites and reinforcing binder resins, Xylan® coatings are commonly applied in thin films.
Epoxy provides a quick-drying, tough and protective coating. It's created through a chemical reaction that uses an epoxide resin and polymine hardener. When these two chemicals are combined, the liquid epoxy coating becomes a strong and durable solid that offers high-temperature and chemical resistance.
Polytetrafluoroethylene, or PTFE, is a synthetic fluoropolymer derived from tetrafluoroethylene. This coating is non-reactive and strong, which enables it to resist corrosion and reduce friction and wear. It’s widely used in piping, tubular products, and petrochemical sectors.
Ryton® polyphenylene sulfide, or PPS, compounds offer improved thermal stability, chemical resistance, dimensional stability, and flame retardancy. A polymer designed from alternating sulfur atoms and phenylene rings, Ryton® polyphenylene has exceptionally high modulus and creep resistance, and it can withstand a wide variety of aggressive chemical environments.
Fluorinated ethylene propylene, or FEP, nonstick coatings melt and flow during baking to provide smooth films with excellent abrasion resistance. A non-porous coating, it has strong chemical resistance, is extremely non-wetting and has a very low coefficient of friction. This coating has excellent release properties and is often used as a mold release coating. FEP is ideal for non-stick, corrosion resistant, and chemical-resistant applications. Other uses include baked-on linings to coat tanks.
DYKOR® PVDF coatings can be applied to most metal substrates and provide outstanding chemical, corrosion, and ultraviolet resistance. Manufactured by combining resins from polyvinylidene, or PVDF, and fillers like graphite and mica, this coating type has excellent resistance to most solvents and chemicals. Common applications include semiconductor, medical and chemical processing industries.
Halar® ECTFE is a partially fluorinated semi-crystalline polymer that offers superior chemical, permeation and fire resistance. Other characteristics include low permeability, excellent weatherability, and excellent abrasion resistance. This coating is often used as lining in anti-corrosion applications like piping. Improved fire and chemical resistance properties make Halar® ECTFE ideal for wire and cable applications.
Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene, or ETFE, is a partially fluorinated copolymer of ethylene and tetrafluoroethylene. This coating has superior impact strength, abrasion and cut through resistance, improving its ability to withstand physical abuse. ETFE is suitable for pump impellers or moving parts of equipment operating in chemically aggressive environments.
Perfluoroalkoxy, or PFA, has good mechanical properties and melt processability without sacrificing thermal performance and chemical resistance. This coating type is chemically inert, has a very low friction coefficient, is ultraviolet light resistant, and is U.S. Food & Drug Administration approved. It’s often used when clarity, flexibility, and a higher continuous operating temperature range are required. Applications that can benefit from PFA include tubing, cleanroom or medical tubing, connectors, rods, rings, valve liners, pumps and fittings, electrical insulation, and nozzles.
Identifying the right anti-corrosion coating requires knowledge of in-depth substrate material performance, the type of application it will be used for, operating conditions and expected performance levels. Our team of expert application specialists can work with you to determine the best anti-corrosion coating for your process.
