Types of Chemical Resistant Coatings

Epoxy Chemical Resistant Coatings (Epoxy Phenolic)

Epoxy phenolic coatings are renowned for their exceptional resistance to a wide range of chemicals and solvents, making them ideal for use in harsh environments. These chemical and solvent resistant coatings form a durable barrier that protects metal substrates from chemical attacks, extending the lifespan of industrial equipment and structures.

Epoxy phenolic coatings are particularly advantageous in certain applications where fluoropolymer coatings might traditionally be used, as they offer similar protective properties without containing fluoropolymers, also known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), or forever chemicals. The robust chemical resistance of epoxy phenolic coatings makes them suitable for industries such as chemical processing, oil and gas, and other applications, where exposure to corrosive substances is common.

Silicone Polymer-Based Coatings

Silicone polymer-based coatings are highly effective in resisting chemicals, solvents, and UV radiation. These chemical and solvent resistant coatings are designed to maintain their integrity and protective qualities even under prolonged exposure to harsh chemical environments and intense UV light.

Silicone polymer based coatings are particularly useful in outdoor applications where UV resistance is crucial, such as in construction and transportation industries. Their ability to withstand both chemical and UV degradation makes them an excellent choice for protecting metal surfaces in environments that experience both chemical and UV exposure. Additionally, their flexibility allows them to accommodate the thermal expansion and contraction of substrates, preventing cracking and peeling.

Acrylic Chemical Resistant Coil Applied Coatings

Acrylic coatings are valued for their balance of durability and aesthetic appeal. These coatings provide strong resistance to various chemicals and solvents, making them ideal for applications where both protective and visual qualities are important. Coil-applied acrylic coatings are commonly used in industries such as automotive, appliances, and consumer products, where the appearance of the finished product is as crucial as its durability.

These chemical and solvent resistant coatings protect metal substrates from chemical damage and enhance their visual appeal, making them suitable for high-end applications. Their ease of application and fast curing times also contribute to their popularity in high-speed production environments.

Coil Applied Chemical Resistant Coatings


UNICHEM develops high-performance chemical-resistant coatings designed specifically for coil coating applications. In this process, the metal substrate passes through rollers, where UNICHEM’s coating is applied uniformly. The coated substrate is then cured in an oven, which solidifies the coating and ensures a strong bond to the metal surface. This method allows for consistent application and optimal adhesion, providing reliable protection against chemical exposure.

Benefits of Coil Coating Method

The coil coating method offers several advantages:

  • Uniform Coverage: Ensures that the entire surface is evenly coated, eliminating weak spots that could lead to corrosion.
  • Quick Curing Times: The curing process in an oven is rapid, allowing for faster production cycles.
  • Cost-Effectiveness: High-speed production capabilities reduce manufacturing time and costs. Consistent quality and minimal waste further enhance cost efficiency.

Benefits of UNICHEM’s Chemical Resistant Coatings
