SILZ-FLPSZ — Fluoropolymer-Modified Anticorrosion Coating

SILZ-FLPSZ is a one-component, fluoropolymer-modified anticorrosion coating holding the endurance record of our functional line: 5000 hours of neutral salt spray, 180-day immersion in 50% sulfuric acid and 50% caustic soda, and 300 days in 40 °C chemical wastewater — all from a transparent film serving -50 to 280 °C.

Product Overview

The chemistry is a fluorinated olefin-silicon polymer whose protected reactive groups release on air exposure, driving adhesion, chain extension and crosslinking in one motion. Low initial viscosity lets the coating wet and penetrate surface irregularities before it sets, so the barrier forms from inside the profile — dense against oxygen and moisture where corrosion starts.

Wear numbers match the chemistry: 0.019 g lost over 500 Taber cycles under a 750 g load. Deploy FLPSZ on chemical-plant steel, wastewater facilities, pipelines and mineral substrates facing long immersion service — including leather goods protection, the odd but telling proof of its film flexibility.

Key Benefits

5000 h salt spray — the line record

The highest neutral-salt-spray rating in our functional portfolio, with no blistering, cracking or rust spots at test end.

Half-year immersion in 50% acid and alkali

180 days in 50% H₂SO₄ and 50% NaOH plus 5% NaCl — concentration levels most coatings never see in testing.

300-day wastewater endurance

Ten months in 40 °C chemical wastewater without blistering, peeling or rust — validated for effluent infrastructure.

Penetrating application

Low initial viscosity wets into pores and profile before crosslinking — barrier formation starts below the surface.

Typical Applications

  • Heavy-duty anticorrosion on metal & mineral substrates
  • Acid/alkali/salt/solvent exposure environments
  • Chemical wastewater facilities

Curing & Processing Guidance

Dry damp substrates and remove oil, loose corrosion and raised defects; repair concrete voids with a compatible filled resin before coating. Metals follow the standard Sa 2.5 / minimum St 3 preparation.

Build the film in 2–3 coats of roughly 40 µm each toward a 100–200 µm total, waiting at least 30 minutes between coats and recoating before full cure — inter-coat chemistry depends on it. Treat 3 hours as the conservative working limit after opening.

Self-curing runs 1–6 hours to surface dry and about 8 hours to full dry, strongly dependent on film thickness, temperature and airflow; 120–140 °C for under 2 hours accelerates when an oven exists.

Substrate Compatibility

Carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, high-temperature alloy steel, glass-ceramics, ceramics, cement — and leather. Concrete and mineral substrates take the penetrating application particularly well; confirm pretreatment per substrate with our engineers.

SILZ-FLPSZ — Purchasing & Application FAQ

FLPSZ or FSLPSZ — the sister products look close. Which one?

Choose by your dominant exposure. FLPSZ is the immersion-endurance champion: 5000 h salt spray and 180-day 50% acid/alkali soak make it the pick for long wet service and effluent duty. FSLPSZ answers a different question — hydrofluoric acid and mid-concentration hot acid exposure — with graphene reinforcement. Same temperature envelope; different enemies.

Why must I recoat before full cure?

Each coat's protected reactive groups are still available before full cure, so successive coats bond chemically into one film. Wait past full cure and you are bonding to a finished low-energy surface instead — adhesion drops. Keep the 30-minute-minimum, before-full-cure recoat window.

Does the transparent film show substrate corrosion early?

Yes — transparency is a feature for inspection programs: rust blooms are visible at first formation rather than hidden under pigment. For color-coded systems, ask about pigmented builds.
