Featured this month: Wash, don't repaint

Our WC-15 (E) ™ non-stick, easy-cleaning, coatings provide a safe and more durable alternative to toxic anti-fouling coatings. After one year in the Mediterranean, the owner cleaned the hull with just low pressure water spray and a hand brush.

This Web Site is your source for information about our tough, spray-on, non-stick Fluorinated Polyurethane (FPU^TM) coatings. We manufacture these patented coatings, which were originally developed for military applications, under licenses from the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). FPU^TM provides essentially the same protective properties as baked-on Fluorinated polymers (such as PVDF coatings), but has two advantages. It's tough. FPU^TM cross-links as it cures and therefore produces a mechanically tough surface. It's spray-on. FPU^TM cures at ambient temperatures and therefore can be field-applied (and repaired or touched up) with standard painting equipment.

FPU^TM coatings are: extremely low in surface energy (non-stick), chemically non-reactive, impermeable to moisture and oxygen, resistant to UV radiation, resistant to petrochemicals, hydrophobic, oleophobic, durable, flexible, resistant to impact and abrasion, and when fully cured, completely non-toxic. These coatings can be applied to ferrous metal, galvanized metal, aluminum, concrete, wood, and fiberglass.

We manufacture a number of formulas that are optimized for special applications. Have a look at our gallery for some examples.
