Elastomeric Coatings on Commercial Structures
The Dow Chemical Company which is a supplier of Acrymax wrote a recent article in Durability and Design. The article is titled Elastomeric Acrylic Coatings for use on Commercial Structures. The article discusses why you should use elastomeric coatings for roof coatings, exterior insulation and finishing systems, and exterior wall coatings for concrete and masonry […]
Elastomeric Coatings: Can they be too thick?
Most elastomeric coatings function better when they are thicker. Each additional coat adds mil thickness and unlike other coatings especially asphaltic products which become brittle when they are thick, the added dry film thickness (DFT) enhances properties of elongation and tensile strength. Imagine a very thick rubber band versus a thin rubber band. Which one […]
Elastomerics are Different
If you’re looking for a long-lasting, durable, and flexible wall coating, then elastomeric acrylic wall coatings are the perfect choice. Unlike ordinary wall paints, these coatings are specially designed to expand and contract with the masonry surface they are applied to, making them ideal for areas prone to extreme weather conditions. They can also bridge […]
Engineered Coatings & Systems
Coating Engineers formulate, analyze, produce, and test coatings. They then repeat these steps to provide for continuous improvement. Chemical Coatings & Engineering Company was our name when we were founded in 1951. This name clearly stated the products we offered and our engineering philosophy. Our approach is to listen to our customers and when […]
Engineered to Endure with the Strength of Composites
Imagine this: You’re out at sea. The waves are rising, the wind is howling, and your vessel is being tested with every surge. Now ask yourself – would you rather be in a boat made of glass only, or one crafted from a fiberglass-reinforced composite, built to flex, absorb impact, and carry you through the […]
Extend the Life of Your Roofing Assets
