High Performance Surface Protection Polymersilicate Coating System AKS Coatings GmbH
AKS-PS Polymersilicate Coating System highly resistant to acids, lyes and chemical attack solvent-free high adhesion to concrete and masonry high adhesion to steel high mechanical strength easy to use heat resistant up to 150 C We are a specialist manufacturer of Polymersilicate Coating Systems for demanding requirements. Our coating products are suitable to seal and protect highly exposed surfaces such as retention basins and containers for chemical spills, acids and lyes. Our Polymersilicate Coating Systems can be used on both mineral and steel surfaces. The coating is extremely resistant to many chemical Medias. It can be applied for refurbishment purposes as well as preventive measure. Beside the final coating material we offer qualified technical advice as well as a range of products for surface preparation. Our continuous research and development programs allows us to deliver innovative products for the latest challenges facing our customers. We are happy to provide initial samples for evaluation free of charge. 1

AKS-PS Polymersilicate Coating System AKS-PS is a performance coating system which offers optimum chemical resistance, high impact and abrasion resistance for areas subject to extreme conditions. It is used as an industrial protective coating material on mineral and steel surfaces against aggressive chemical medias, mainly in Waste Water Treatment Plants, Oil and Fat Separators, Storing Bunds and Catch Basins, Drain Gutters and Steel Tanks. Due to its soft consistency and it s extremely high adhesive power AKS-PS can be used on all mineral surfaces without difficulty. Even steel surfaces can be coated with this material. Excellent properties regarding the tensile-adhesive strength are achieved on both types of surfaces. Our Polymersilicate coating compounds an isocyanate which is cross-linked with a liquid silicate. Thereby we benefit from the positive properties of both compounds and their extraordinary resistance against acids and lyes. AKS-PS is open to steam diffusion, solvent-free and free of amines and heavy metals. AKS-PS is resistant against aggressive organic and inorganic compounds. The resistance against acids and lyes goes beyond the range of ph 0 to ph 14. For instance on the basis of our experience a coated surface is resistant without any problems against 20% sulphuric acid or 20% potassium hydroxide solution. The product meets all the special demands of operators, engineers and applicators concerning best material properties, high chemical resistance and economic efficiency. Product Properties Not emulsifiable with water and therefore water-repellent immediately after being applied Suitable for both hand and machine applications Heat resistant up to approx. 150 C Resistant against aggressive Acids and Lyes Impact-proof and suitable for very high mechanical loads Solvent-free, free of Amines and heavy metals High flash point (approx. 200 C) Adhesive-strength tensile coefficient in the case of concrete: 3.0 N/mm² Adhesive-strength tensile coefficient in the case of steel: Open to steam diffusion Easy refinishing e.g. in case of later drilling No bonding course or primer coat necessary best economic efficiency 6.2 N/mm² 4
