Ameron PSX® 700 | Clear Engineered Siloxane Coating

Protective Coatings:

Ameron International Protective Coatings Group, Brea, California has been for more than half a century among the world’s leaders in developing and producing protective coatings. The company has long been a supplier to NASA for coatings to protect space launch structures and other facilities. Beginning in 1990, Ameron developed a special formulation to meet NASA requirements for space launch pad coating. That technology is now being used in the company’s commercial product line.

Breakthrough Technology Proven in Service:

PSX® 700 is a major breakthrough in protective coatings technology, and like all other Ameron products, it has been thoroughly tested in the only way that matters – in service. In fact, PSX® 700 currently is in service protecting millions of square feet of valuable assets in a wide variety of applications, ranging from corrosive chemical environments to general maintenance.

PSX® 700 Characteristics:

• Unique, high-gloss, self-priming coating
• Can be applied directly over inorganic zinc
• Gloss and appearance retention exceeding the best polyurethane
• Significantly lower applied cost and production time
• Excellent resistance to acid and corrosion
• High solids, low VOC
• Resists high humidity and moisture
• Outstanding resistance to chemical splash and spill

A New Standard in High – Performance Coatings:

Amerons’s patented new PSX® Clear Engineered Siloxane technology is really an entirely new coating category, offering unprecedented improvements in performance and durability. PSX® 700, and outstanding example of this technology, offers a combination of characteristics available in no other product.

Outstanding Environmental Characteristics

PSX® 700 meets or exceeds today’s stringent environmental, health and safety requirements without compromising performance. And because PSX® 700 needs little or no thinning, it provides significant reductions in solvent emissions and hazardous waste. Unlike polyurethane, PSX® 700 contains no hazardous isocyanates.

Performance Profile

10 =No change, 0 = Complete failure

Salt Fog Resistance

SBS – Sand-blasted steel     RS – Rusted steel     *10 = No change,     0 = Complete failure
Salt fog resistance: At equivalent dry film thickness, PSX 700 has 1.8 times the corrosion resistance of epoxy mastic
over blasted steel. 1 mil = 25 microns

FLEXIBILITY

Enhanced flexibility: The PSX® 700 is more flexible than a typical epoxy, as shown above.

ABRASION RESISTANCE

Abrasion resistance: The abrasion resistance of PSX 700 is similar to a flexible aliphatic polyurethane.

Typical Applications:

• Structural steel
• Concrete walls and floors
• Marine topsides & Superstructures
• Tank exteriors
• Piping
• Heavy equipment
• Machinery
• Manufactured products
• Offshore platforms
