ALKA 414
Glass Flake Epoxy Coating SystemAlka 414 or Glass Flake Epoxy is a high-performance protective coating formulated with epoxy resin and microscopic glass flakes to provide exceptional corrosion and chemical resistance. It is widely used in heavy industrial, marine, offshore, and chemical processing environments where steel and concrete structures are exposed to aggressive conditions such as seawater, chemicals, moisture, and abrasion.
10 Litre Kit for $000 including GST.
This coating system may be applied over Alka 404 (Zinc-Rich Epoxy Primers).
A common coating system is:
- Primer Coat – Zinc Rich Epoxy Primer
- Provides cathodic (sacrificial) corrosion protection
- Excellent adhesion to blast-cleaned steel
- Intermediate / Build Coat – MIO Epoxy or High-Build Epoxy
- Adds barrier protection and coating thickness
- Top / Protective Coat – Glass Flake Epoxy
- Provides superior chemical and moisture resistance
- Creates an impermeable barrier against corrosion
In some systems, Glass Flake Epoxy itself may serve as an intermediate or lining coat rather than the final topcoat.
Usage
Glass Flake Epoxy is mainly selected for environments involving:
- Severe corrosion
- Chemical exposure
- Saltwater immersion
- High humidity
- Abrasion and erosion
- Long-term industrial service conditions
Its excellent barrier protection and durability make it ideal for critical assets requiring extended maintenance intervals and long coating life.
