WaterFine products have been developed to combine corrosion protection that is equal or better than high performance solvent-borne coatings with cost and environmental benefits. Environmental legislation on VOCs is coming into force in several parts of the world. In 2007 the VOC directive for solvent reduction in the EU countries will be implemented. There is a demand for corrosion resistant coatings with less environmental impact that are long lasting, do not fade or peel and retain an excellent appearance. The WaterFine range meets these needs.

Glossy, one-component hard acrylic topcoat
Outshines other high gloss finishes and just lasts and lasts. It combines the safe and easy to apply characteristics of water-borne technology with the tough corrosion protection and good abrasion resistant properties of a modified hard acrylic. It also gives good weatherability, flexibility, water resistance and UV-resistance. It meets the demands for constant colour stability, it has low dirt pick-up and will maintain an unprecedented level of non-yellowing performance. Excellent colour and gloss retention mean less re-coating is necessary giving savings in material and application costs.

One-component acrylic primer
Suitable for application to a wide range of different substrates including steel, galvanised steel and aluminium. It contains non-toxic pigments, has very good water resistance, dries quickly and gives excellent results in corrosion protection for mildly corrosive environments (Corrosivity category C2-C3, ISO 12944) when used in combination with WaterFine Topcoat.

Two-component, high molecular
weight epoxy primer
Can be used on steel, galvanised steel and thermally sprayed zinc constructions above the waterline. It can be applied at high film thicknesses (up to 125 µm DFT per coat), it is fast drying and can be overcoated after 2 hours at 23^oC. It is compatible with most water-borne and solvent-borne coatings.

Three-component organic zinc rich, high molecular weight epoxy primer for long term corrosion protection. Suitable to use in aggressive environments providing very good resistance to water, solvents and very good resistance to abrasion.

Two-component inorganic zinc silicate primer for long term corrosion protection. Especially suitable as a primer for aggressive environments where it will give excellent long-term corrosion protection. It is fast drying and can be overcoated with water-borne and solvent-borne epoxy, vinyl and acrylic coatings but not alkyd of either type.

Specially designed two-component inorganic zinc silicate primer
Can be applied up to 200 µm DFT in a single coat, which is suitable as a one-coat system for superstructures and interior tank protection. For extreme environments with excellent corrosion protection.
