Glass flake powder

Thin platelets of glass flake overlap within coating films, creating a lengthened ‘tortuous’ path for any permeation of moisture or destructive ions. This effect is used to provide a barrier to moisture in anti-corrosion coatings such as those used on offshore installations, through to providing an oxygen barrier in fire retardant systems.

The chemical resistance of Glass flake offers excellent substrate protection in the harshest of conditions. This protection extends to physical attack, the hardness of the flake increases the resistance of the overall coating system to abrasion and wear.
