Impact Resistant Coating

UNICHEM offers advanced coil-applied impact resistant coatings, engineered to protect metal substrates such as steel and aluminum. Impact-resistant metal coatings enhance durability by remaining intact against mechanical stress, impacts, and environmental factors. Ideal for industries requiring long-term performance, UNICHEM’s coil-applied coatings ensure metal surfaces remain protected, even under extreme conditions.

Impact Resistant Coatings


With decades of expertise in developing high-performance industrial coatings, UNICHEM excels in creating impact-resistant coatings for metal substrates. These coatings are applied through coil-coating processes, ensuring superior protection for construction, transportation, and heavy machinery industries. UNICHEM’s coatings are formulated to prevent the degradation of metal surfaces, providing reliable protection during manufacturing, transport, and usage.

Impact-resistant coatings are specially formulated to absorb and dissipate energy from physical stresses such as impacts, abrasions, and collisions. While they don’t prevent dents or deformation, these coatings are designed to remain intact, ensuring the metal beneath is protected from corrosion and other environmental degradation. For industries with high-performance demands, such as construction or transportation, maintaining the integrity of the metal components is vital to extend the lifespan of equipment and reduce maintenance costs.

Types of Impact Resistant Coatings

Standard Impact Resistant Metal Coating

UNICHEM’s standard impact-resistant metal coatings offer a protective barrier that moves with the metal to prevent cracking and peeling during impact. Applied through the coil-coating process, they are ideal for industries where metal surfaces are regularly subjected to physical stress. These coatings maintain their adhesion and performance even after repeated impacts, making them indispensable for sectors like automotive manufacturing, construction, and industrial machinery.

Modified Impact Resistant Coatings

For applications requiring enhanced protection, UNICHEM offers modified impact-resistant coatings with increased toughness and flexibility. These coatings are engineered to absorb mechanical shocks while resisting coating, cracking, peeling, or loss of adhesion. Such durability is crucial in environments where metal surfaces are subjected to frequent impacts, such as heavy-duty construction equipment or infrastructure components exposed to harsh conditions.

Coil Coating Process for Impact Resistant Coatings


UNICHEM’s impact-resistant coatings are applied using a precise coil-coating method, which ensures consistent, even coverage and superior adhesion to metal substrates. During the coil-coating process, metal coils are cleaned, coated, and cured in a continuous operation. This process delivers high-quality coatings that are reliable in protecting metal surfaces from damage while maintaining flexibility during the bending and forming of metal sheets.

Benefits of the Coil Coating Method

  • Uniform Coverage: Coil-coating provides even, consistent application across metal surfaces, eliminating weak points and maximizing impact resistance.
  • Enhanced Adhesion: Coatings applied through this method form a robust bond with the metal substrate, minimizing the risk of paint cracking, peeling or flaking under stress.
  • Cost-Effectiveness: The coil-coating process optimizes material usage, reduces waste, and accelerates production cycles, making it a highly efficient method for large-scale industrial applications.

Benefits of UNICHEM’s Impact Resistant Coatings

Enhanced Durability

UNICHEM’s impact-resistant coatings significantly increase the durability of metal substrates, allowing them to withstand physical stress, and remain protected if damaged by mechanical damage. This ensures that metal surfaces are shielded from corrosion, abrasions, and mechanical damage, reducing the need for repairs or replacements in demanding environments.

Protection Against Environmental Stress

In addition to protecting against mechanical damage, UNICHEM’s impact-resistant coatings offer a shield against environmental factors such as UV radiation, moisture, and chemicals. This dual protection ensures that metal surfaces remain intact and corrosion-free, even under harsh weather conditions.

Long-Term Cost Savings

By reducing the need for frequent maintenance or replacements, UNICHEM’s impact-resistant coatings help lower operational costs for manufacturers and end users. The extended lifespan of coated metal products leads to fewer downtimes and long-term savings, particularly in industrial applications where durability is critical.

Industries Served with Impact Resistant Coatings

Construction Elements

In the construction industry, impact-resistant coatings protect metal elements such as roofing, siding, and structural elements by resisting abrasion, cracking, peeling, and chipping if they are dented, scuffed, and exposed to environmental stresses.

Transportation Vehicles & Products

UNICHEM’s impact-resistant coatings are used extensively in the transportation sector, where vehicle exteriors, trailers, and metal components must withstand impact from road debris and environmental exposure. These coatings help maintain the integrity and appearance of vehicles while reducing the need for frequent repairs.

Industrial Equipment & Machinery

In rugged industrial environments, heavy machinery and equipment are often exposed to physical damage and environmental stress. UNICHEM’s impact resistant coatings provide the protection needed to resist corrosion and degradation, which keeps machines operational and extends their service life.
