Types of Chemical Resistant Clear Coats


Depending on the market segment, various types of coatings are required, to provide the resistance properties required. Whether your application requires resistance to harsh chemicals, staining resistance, solvents, or environmental stresses, UNICHEM has primer and finish coating products that will meet your needs. UNICHEM offers epoxy phenolic, polyester, vinyl, acrylic and silicone based protective coatings for various coil coating applications.

Chemical Resistant Coating for Steel

Coil applied chemical resistant coatings for steel, offer excellent protection against harsh chemicals and environmental factors. These coatings help maintain the structural integrity of steel components, making them ideal for use in industrial machinery, construction elements, and transportation vehicles. The robust barrier properties provided by these coatings ensures that steel remains durable and resistant to corrosion, even in the most challenging environments.

Chemical Resistant Coating for Aluminum

A chemical resistant aluminum coating provides a robust barrier against chemicals while maintaining a clean, polished appearance. Coil applied clear coatings are widely used in industries where aluminum is prevalent, such as automotive and consumer electronics. They ensure long-lasting protection and aesthetic appeal, preventing degradation and maintaining the metal’s integrity. Coil applied coatings help aluminum components withstand harsh chemicals and environmental factors, prolonging their lifespan and maintaining their visual appeal.

Chemical Resistant Coating for Metal

Chemical resistant coatings for metal substrates offer versatility and protective qualities in different environments. These protective coatings are essential in sectors such as appliances, metal office furniture, and HVAC where metal components require reliable protection against chemical and physical exposures. By providing a durable barrier against chemicals, and physical stresses, coil applied clear coatings ensure that metal parts manufactured from prepainted metal remain functional and aesthetically pleasing, reducing maintenance needs and extending the life of the products.

Coil Coating Application Techniques


UNICHEM’s chemical-resistant clear coats are applied using coil coating processes. This involves passing the metal substrate through rollers where the coating is uniformly applied. The substrate is then cured in an oven, ensuring a strong bond and consistent coverage. This precise application method guarantees that the clear coat adheres effectively to the metal, or base-coating, providing robust protection against chemical, physical exposures and environmental factors.

Benefits of Coil Coating Method


The coil coating method offers several advantages:

  • Uniform Coverage: Ensures even application across the entire surface, eliminating weak spots and ensuring comprehensive protection.
  • Enhanced Adhesion: Provides a strong bond between the coating and the substrate, ensuring long-lasting durability.
  • Quick Curing Times: Allows for faster production cycles, increasing efficiency and reducing downtime.
  • Cost-Effectiveness: Reduces manufacturing time and costs while maintaining consistent quality and minimizing waste, making it an economical choice for large-scale applications.
