RF Solutions

Decorative Coatings

RF Solutions apply many different decorative and functional wet applied materials for appearance and purpose.

Primers are used to achieve adhesion to difficult substrates. They can also be used as high build fillers to cover minor surface defects. Most paints adhere well to a wide range of substrates, however certain systems may require the application of an adhesion promoting or acid etch prior to the application of the colour paint or base.

Base Coats offer colour and opacity. They can be applied as a single coat to a wide range of polymers or over-coated with clear top lacquers to increase chemical and wear resistance.

There are Three Types of Base Coat Available

• Acrylic air-drying base coats are available in a full range of solid and metallic colours. However acrylic base coats only offer moderate levels of wear and abrasion resistance Acrylic base coats can be over-coated with clear or tinted lacquers to provide increased chemical and wear resistance.
• Two component (2k) polyurethane base coats are much more durable and can be applied as a single coat finish suitable for most applications. Epoxy base coats are both chemically and abrasion resilient.
• Clear Top Coats are usually applied over base coats to increase chemical, wear and abrasion resistance and can also be formulated to a required product gloss level.
