Pennsylvania, US-based chemical company Quaker Chemical Corporation has launched new eco-friendly coatings, QUAKERCOAT® 102 and QUAKERCOAT® 105, for the tube and pipe industry.
According to a company statement, both coatings are Zero-VOC, clear acrylic, water borne coatings, designed to be applied through conventional spray and vacuum systems. Both coatings offer excellent process responsiveness for quick-dry and cure and are non-hazardous, posing no great risk for handling to employees, and are friendly to the environment, therefore helping customers reduce their environmental footprint, Quaker said.
QUAKERCOAT 102 is designed for the day-to-day transfer of pipes and tubes, and for temporary protection against moisture and other elements that are precursors in the process of corroding unprotected metals, while QUAKERCOAT 105 is a superior quality coating designed to protect pipes for longer periods of time during storage and transport.
