Solution

The production speed in the pipe industry is greatly influenced by the type of coating used. If a slow-drying coating is used, the production speed will not be optimal. If the production team does not take the initiative to use a faster-drying coating, an increase in production will not be achieved.

Solution

For those experiencing issues with slow-drying coatings, we recommend trying EonCoat 470. This coating product not only dries quickly but also has good corrosion resistance.

Corrosion on Pipe Couplings

Success Story 

A pipe company previously frequently encountered problems with slow-drying coatings on pipe couplings and poor corrosion resistance. To address these issues, Eonchemicals provided a solution with the EonCoat 470 product.

EonCoat 470 is an alkyd-based coating that dries quickly (2-5 minutes) and has good corrosion resistance. This product is easy to apply as it does not require the addition of thinner (ready to use).

Application of EonCoat 470 and Tack-Free (Touch Dry)
 

From the touch-dry check of EonCoat 470 as shown in the image above, the customer was satisfied as it helped increase production speed in the field.

Another point of satisfaction is its good corrosion resistance. This was proven through an adhesion test to see how well EonCoat 470 adheres. The result of the adhesion test was 4B (good).

From the results of the coating drying speed test and the adhesion test, EonCoat was approved for use. To this day (more than 5 years), the company continues to use this product.
