Advanced ecological green coatings from Eccotech. The unique waterborne Wearlon chemistry grafts silicone molecules to epoxy molecules, thereby distributing the silicone throughout the epoxy matrix. There are no free silicones.
Silicone is the non-stick, hydrophobic, lubricious component.
Epoxy is the hardness, adhesion component. Wearlon is waterbased, non-toxic, environmentally friendly, low V.O.C. and meets EPA, USDA and FDA 21 CFR 175.300 Requirements. The non-migratory, non stick properties of Wearlon make it ideal for use as a maintenance coating, with many processing aid applications in the manufacture of plastics, paper, textiles and packaging over a wide temperature range, wet or dry. The hydrophobic, low surface energy, non-stick properties of Wearlon result in low biofouling adhesion. This is true of Zebra Mussels, Quagga Mussels and all bacterial and algal bioforms.
