The Acrylic Advantage

Testing, testing... acrylic coating improves more than galv appearance.

 

We were curious. We knew acrylic coating helped prevent the formation of white rust on galvanized. But how much? And could we find other reasons to use it? Our Materials Support team tested acrylic vs. chromate. Read to learn why acrylic coating is the best choice for a variety of manufacturing processes and applications, including:

  • Effective ways to slow zinc corrosion (white rust)
  • Surface properties of acrylic coating
  • Adhesion characteristics of acrylic
  • Key benefits of acrylic coating
