Application

DUREMAX® GFX adhesion allows to be used as a high performance maintenance coating over hand, power tool or high-pressure water cleaned surface.

DUREMAX® GFX can be topcoated with a wide range of coating types.


Heavy duty barrier coat for protection against corrosion and chemical attack.

Typically used on:

  • Bridges and infrastructure.
  • Chemical plants.
  • Mining.
  • Offshore structures.
  • Ports.
  • Saltwater immersion.
  • Water and waste treatment.

Description

DUREMAX® GFX is a high solids, high build glass flake reinforced epoxy developed to deliver long term corrosion resistance. Ideally suited to protecting new steelwork from atmospheric and marine corrosion including coastal and off-shore structures, above and below the water-line. Some of its significant features include:

  • High glass flake content.
  • Superior resin technology for surface wetting and corrosion resistance.
  • Excellent barrier for immersion or splash zone.
  • Self priming finish.
  • Good abrasion and chemical resistance.
