EMAA thermoplastic powder coatings: Shop and field application of powder coatings for aggressive environments
- Plastic FLAMECOAT Systems, Inc., League City, TX (United States)
This paper deals with how Ethylene Methacrylic Acid thermoplastic powder coatings are allowing asset owners to meet tightening environmental regulations while solving some of their most difficult coating problems. It discusses the versatility of traditional shop application methods and field application/repair methods in the rail and water/waste water treatment areas. EMAA coatings typically perform well in aggressive environments due to their high flexibility and impact resistance. The material`s inherent toughness also provides for excellent abrasion resistance. EMAA demonstrates excellent resistance to chemical attack and is highly resistant to permeation by liquids. Because some aromatic, cyclic and higher aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents may cause swelling and permeate through the coating, caution should be used in immersion applications with this group of solutions.
