Burke's New Steel-Plus Epoxies are Third Generation Formulas for Maximum Performance in Severe Environments, With No Haps


Burke Industrial Coatings introduces the new "Steel Plus" epoxies that provide packaging and processing machinery with excellent resistance to harsh CIP sanitation and other corrosive chemicals, and are impervious to high-pressure washdown and other severe factory conditions. Utilizing third-generation formulation technology, the Steel Plus epoxies contain no hazardous air pollutants (HAPS) and are extremely fast drying and easy to apply. Burke's new product line includes Steel Plus 316 Stainless Steel Epoxy, Steel Plus Novolac Stainless Steel Epoxy, Steel Plus Epoxy Primer, and Steel Plus Gloss White Water-Based Epoxy Enamel.

On display at PackExpo International Booth 7216 (Nov 3-7, Chicago), Burke's Steel Plus epoxies are ideal for use by equipment manufacturers due to their tenacious adhesion and user-friendliness. They are free from all hazardous air pollutants on the government's "HAPS" list, have no odor, and can be applied to steel, galvanized steel, tin, and aluminum in a variety of ways - brush, roller, air-atomized, air-less or hot spray. Steel Plus epoxies can be used in maintenance applications at the processing or packaging plant as well as in OEM applications during machine fabrication. Steel Plus epoxies are resistant to alkalines and acids even as harsh as 40% sulphuric acid, and impact resistant at the 160-inch-pound level.

Steel Plus 316 Stainless Steel Epoxy (10-810 Stainless Steel Gray) is a tough, heavy duty epoxy designed for maximum performance in severe factory environments. This water-based epoxy is pigmented with 316L Stainless Steel flake particles, and after application takes the appearance of Gloss Stainless Steel Gray.

Steel Plus Novolac (10-808 Stainless Gray) is an extremely chemical-resistant epoxy that will also provide maximum performance in severe factory environments. Steel Plus Novolac is a water-based epoxy that produces a semi-gloss stainless steel gray appearance.

Steel Plus Epoxy Primer (30-850 Gray) is a tough, heavy duty water-based epoxy primer that can be used on metal or concrete where maximum long-term protection is needed. It produces a flat gray surface that is ready for topcoating.

Steel Plus Gloss White Water-Based Epoxy Enamel (20-202 USDA White) is a tough, high gloss, non-yellowing enamel. This heavy duty enamel is designed for maximum performance in severe factory environments.

All Steel Plus products are quick drying, with excellent adhesion characteristics. They are available in one gallon or 5 gallon sizes.
