What is Ecoclear Aegis?
Ecoclear Aegis is a graphene-reinforced, silicone hybrid, resin-based 2K paint solution. Created specifically to protect against highly corrosive environments (C5). The ISO Corrosivity Classification table defines six corrosivity categories (C1 – very low, C2 – low, C3 – medium, C4 – high, C5 –
About IGL AEGIS
Several factors can influence the deterioration of a protective coating system. Such as weather, permeation, stress and biological influences. These factors can work in tandem with unpredictable catastrophic results, making the choice for the right paint system crucial.
Aegis is the ultimate protection against corrosion. It’s greener formula protects and delays corrosion longer than traditional solutions. Early signs of corrosion can be easily detected with the anti-corrosion clear coating. Saving time, costs and accidents with preventive measures.
Why Anti-Corrosion Clear Coating?
The benefits in GNT includes a lighter, stronger more durable coating. Weighing in at only 50 µm per layer, Aegis is significantly lighter while being stronger than traditional solutions.
Since it has a high thermal emissivity and reflectivity, it provides quick identification of potential problem areas with an IR camera. This allows for planned downtime instead of expensive unplanned outages.
Stronger, Greener, Lighter & More durable than traditional Anti-Corrosion Coating
Aegis was tested for various aspects in relation to its hydrophobicity, adhesion, gloss, chemical resistance and most importantly durability.
Testing Examples
2 layers of Ecocoat Aegis was applied for this test
Comparatively, other pigmented coatings started to indicate signs of failure at 96 hours with degradation at 528 hours.
Ecoclear Aegis is the next generation in anti-corrosion coatings featuring:
- Clarity – detect signs of corrosion before it becomes a problem
- Lightweight – less product is used for added protection, reducing weight
- Extreme Durability – tested for 5,000 hours (as at January 2023) and counting!
- Easy to Apply – simple to mix and use
- Self Cleaning – optimal hydrophobicity requiring less maintenance
- Sustainable formula
