Advanced Metal Epoxy Coatings for Ultimate Protection

Metal Epoxy Coatings are robust, 100% solids epoxy formulations enhanced with metallic compounds (such as zinc, aluminum, or mica) for enhanced sacrificial or barrier protection against rust and degradation. These coatings form a tough, impermeable film that excels in corrosive settings. At Mayon Flooring, our metal epoxy solutions combine industrial-strength defense with a metallic sheen, offering reliable, low-maintenance flooring for heavy-duty applications.

Process Overview

Our expert applicators ensure precise, multi-layer metal epoxy installation:

Surface PreparationAbrasive blast or grind to remove rust, old coatings, and achieve proper profile.
PrimingApply compatible primer for adhesion, often zinc-rich for added protection.
MixingThoroughly blend epoxy resin, hardener, and metallic additives.
ApplicationSpray, roll, or brush multiple coats for uniform thickness (typically 100-300 microns per coat).
Intermediate CoatsBuild layers with aluminum or mica-filled epoxy for barrier enhancement.
TopcoatingFinish with polyurethane or clear epoxy for gloss and UV resistance.
Curing & InspectionAllow full cure and test for holidays/dry film thickness.

This controlled process maximizes corrosion resistance with efficient turnaround.

Where to Use

Metal Epoxy Coatings are essential for corrosive or high-exposure areas, including:

Industrial plants, refineries, and chemical facilities
Marine structures, offshore platforms, and docks
Steel tanks, pipelines, and structural beams
Power plants and wastewater treatment facilities
Heavy machinery bases and equipment rooms
Food processing areas requiring corrosion-resistant hygiene
Bridges, parking structures, and infrastructure

Guidance

For maximum efficacy, prepare surfaces to SA 2.5 blast standard and apply in controlled humidity (<85%). Zinc-rich primers for steel; aluminum for concrete barriers. Typical DFT 200-500 microns. We recommend site-specific testing for compatibility and selecting formulations (zinc-rich for cathodic, flake-filled for barrier) based on exposure, substrate, and service conditions.

FAQs

What makes metal epoxy different from regular epoxy?

Metallic additives provide active corrosion protection and superior barrier properties.

How many coats are needed?

2-4 coats, depending on environment and required thickness.

Is it suitable for immersion service?

Yes – specialized variants handle constant water or chemical exposure.

Can it be applied in cold weather?

Possible with low-temperature curing formulas; consult for specifics.
