EonCoat: The Next Generation in Coating

EonCoat is a fundamentally different coating technology. It is based on a revolutionary “self-fired ceramic technology” developed by the U.S. Department of Energy and Argonne National Laboratory to encapsulate nuclear waste.

3 things you should know about EonCoat:

1. It's corrosion proof beyond any coating invented before it.
2. It's dry to the touch almost immediately.
3. Ideal for steel and cement including pipes, containers, heavy equipment, and any highly corrosive environments. Not recommended for coating plastic or use on floors.

Important notes about EonCoat if you already use a plural spray or Polyurea:

1. No tank heaters required. Spray product from 40 to 160 degrees F. Cure rate is slightly slower in the cold.
2. No recirculation tanks or pumps required.
3. No heated hoses (umbilical hoses) required.
   
4. No activators or retardants required.
   
5. No hazardous solvents for cleanup or reducing required. It is a water cleanup throughout the system.
6. No odor or smell at any point during application. Only a brief rise in humidity when sprayed indoors.
7. No fumes from grinding, welding or recoating.
8. Substrate may be damp on the surface (but not percolating). Moisture sensitivity not an issue for application or cure.
9. Huge reduction in surface prep (does not need to be pristine. See below)
   
10. EonCoat is fairly translucent when applied, even with pigments added. It is common to overspray on initial attempts due to translucency. We recommend practicing with small amounts and waiting for it to cure out (about 12 hours) prior to starting a job. Once this adjustment is made, EonCoat is very easy to spray.
    
11. Because EonCoat reacts so quickly and cures fast, it is not possible to blend EonCoat as cleanly as with typical coatings. The easiest solution is to spray thicker coat on areas with imperfections.
    
    

A Quick Comparison - EonCoat Vs. Polyurea

Application Process

Applying EonCoat is generally easier than Polyurea. It is a two component system applied using a plural (2K) spray gun. Mix the coating in a 1:1 ratio, and spray on using simple plural spray equipment. The process requires no special heating equipment or other apparatus.

The plural spray equipment used to spray Polyurea can also spray EonCoat. However the required EonCoat plural spray rig costs only about $8,000 and requires less maintenance because there is no heating equipment, heated hose, transfer pumps, etc.

Clean up and disposal is so easy. Mix the unused product at roughly a 1:1 ratio and throw the resulting brick into the trash.

Fast Prep Saves Time and Money

Steel substrates need only a brush blast to knock off the loose rust. Slight oxidation on the surface allows for the best chemical reaction.

Iron and steel substrates need a NACE 3 (commercial blast) or NACE 5 (waterjetting) level of preparation.
For concrete and masonry, NACE 6 is sufficient.
