Abrasion Resistant Coating
UNICHEM, leveraging extensive expertise in coating technologies, specializes in coil-applied abrasion resistant coatings. Coil coating involves applying coatings in a continuous, automated method that enhances uniformity and adhesion, ensuring that every inch of the surface receives optimal protection for a variety of industrial uses.
Introduction to Abrasion Resistant Coatings
Abrasion resistant coatings are specialized finishes designed to protect surfaces from wear and tear caused by physical contact and friction. These coatings are essential in extending the lifespan of various materials, safeguarding them against scratches, dents, and erosion, which can compromise both functionality and aesthetics.
UNICHEM’s Abrasion Resistant Solutions
UNICHEM offers abrasion resistant coatings, specifically formulated for application via coil coating processes. Coil coating allows for efficient, large-scale application, making it ideal for handling substantial volumes of material while ensuring consistent quality across batches.
Among the products offered, UNICHEM’s abrasion resistant epoxy (uniPON(R)),vinyl (uniFLEX), and polyester (Flexlain(R))coatings stand out for their exceptional durability and resistance. These coatings are particularly beneficial for steel and aluminum surfaces, providing robust protection in environments prone to heavy wear, thereby extending the operational life and maintaining the structural integrity of the materials they cover.

When performance demands excel, and requirements are more extreme, polyester coatings may not provide adequate long-term performance, which is where other coatings systems may be better suited. If that is the case, we invite you to take a closer look at our other coatings systems throughout our website or, better yet, to see if UNICHEM’s Flexlain Technology is the right solution for you, please contact us. -
uniGUARD 600 – Solvent Based Strippable Protective Coating
uniGUARD 600 – solvent based chemistry that provides a cost-effective alternative to temporary laminate films. Our uniGUARD 600 can be applied on a coil coating line but can also be applied via silk screen or other manual lower volume type applications.
Unlike conventional laminates, uniGUARD 600 is applied in the same manner as the base coat, allowing higher speed of application, elimination of waste and particulate contamination between the strippable layer and base coat. With adjustable release strength and offered in a variety of colors, UNICHEM’s uniGUARD 600 gives the control back to the end users, while also saving them money.

Benefits of UNICHEM’s Coil Applied Abrasion Resistant Coatings
UNICHEM’s coil-applied abrasion-resistant coatings provide superior protection that significantly extends the durability and enhances resistance to physical damage of treated surfaces. These coatings are engineered to withstand severe wear and tear, effectively shielding materials from the rigors of industrial operations and environmental factors. The enhanced durability not only preserves the aesthetic appeal of materials but also reduces the need for frequent replacements and maintenance, contributing to long-term cost savings.
UNICHEM’s abrasion resistant coatings exhibit excellent chemical resistance, making them suitable for industries where exposure to chemical stresses are common. The efficiency of these coatings is also evident in automated production lines; their easy application and fast curing times streamline the manufacturing process, minimizing downtime and increasing throughput. This leads to enhanced overall efficiency in production cycles, allowing businesses to meet their operational targets more effectively.
Coil Applied Application Methods and Processes
UNICHEM coatings are applied via coil coating applications. This process involves the precise application of coatings on a continuous sheet of metal, which is then passed through a curing oven where the coatings are set at controlled temperatures. This method ensures uniform coverage and optimal adhesion of the coating to the substrate, which is crucial for achieving the desired protective properties and durability.
Coil coating is a process that is highly valued for its precision and scalability, making it ideal for large-scale production needs. It enhances product consistency and quality by maintaining strict control over every phase of the application process, from the amount of coating applied to the speed at which the coils are processed. This level of control results in high-quality finishes that meet stringent industry standards and client specifications, making it a preferred method for many sectors needing reliable and efficient coating solutions.
