Liquimix’s steel protective coatings are specifically designed to;
Whether your steelwork requires weather and UV resistance for exposed environments or high-impact and immersion resistance for non-exposed applications, Liquimix provides high-solids, fast-curing protection tailored to your project requirements.
Structural steel forms the backbone of industrial infrastructure, mining assets, transport networks, and commercial buildings. However, steel exposed to oxygen, moisture, chemicals, and mechanical stress is highly vulnerable to corrosion, surface degradation, and premature failure. Without effective protective coatings, ongoing exposure to harsh environmental conditions can significantly reduce the service life and performance of structural steel.
Anti-Corrosive Epoxy Base Coat + UV-Stable Polyaspartic Finish
For external steel structures exposed to atmospheric weathering, intense sunlight, UV radiation, and rain, Liquimix provides a multi-layer protective coating system designed to combine long-term corrosion protection with superior weatherability and gloss retention.
System Components:
For internal structural steel, underground foundations, pipe linings, tanks, bunds, and immersed steel assets where rapid turnaround and exceptional physical toughness are required, Liquimix recommends Tufflon-D60
Tufflon-D60 provides a durable protective barrier designed to withstand demanding service conditions, including high-impact environments and continuous or intermittent immersion.
| Feature / Performance Metric | Polyurea (Tufflon-D60) | Epoxy & Polyaspartic ( Metalox GC- 450 + Opalon – S30) | Standard Multi-Coat Epoxy | Hot-Dip Galvanizing |
| Primary Use Case | Non-exposed, high impact, immersion & direct steel | UV-exposed exterior steel, weatherability & gloss | General shop priming & light maintenance | Structural framing, outdoor beams |
| Primer Requirement | None (Direct to blasted steel) | None (Direct to blasted steel)
| primer + intermediate required | Molten zinc bath immersion required |
| Cure Time to Service | 2 Hours | 3 Days | 3 to 7 days | Requires cooling & transport turnaround |
