Insitu® Spray Applied Coating Technology
ES2 Technology
The ultimate in-field, non-factory applied corrosion protection is Insitu® ES² Spray Applied Coating – a unique and proprietary formulation that is flexible, water-based, and water-reducible synthetic polymer anti-corrosion coating specifically designed for the protecting HVAC/R evaporator and condenser coils, exposed components and cabinets.
Stainless Steel Based Pigments
ES2 pigments are made from a high-performance stainless-steel alloy that are highly resistant to corrosive conditions. ES² pigments form a multi-layer structure throughout the coating to create a barrier layer that reflects harmful ultraviolet rays away from the base paint layer it covers. The multi-layer ES2 pigment structure also slows water molecules from passing into the coating to provide an effective moisture barrier. This protects the coating film by preventing swelling and deterioration.
As a result, the film’s integrity is maintained with the pigment particles securely anchored to the substrate to prevent UV degradation and moisture penetration to make Insitu® Spray Applied Coating Technology an ideal solution for even the most demanding and corrosive environments. Additionally, the resulting smooth, hard finish helps keep dirt from accumulating so the coated unit can maintain its like-new appearance for many years.
Environmentally Friendly
This proprietary formulation is environmentally friendly and compliant for application in all 50 states. Its low volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and absence of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), perfluoro octane sulfonic acids (PFAS), along with its non-ozone depleting formulation help make this non-flammable coating a superior product.
Proven Corrosion Resistant Performance
The Insitu® Spray Applied Coating process ensures a uniform dry film that’s 0.6- 1.2 mils thick and has a 5B rating for crosshatch adhesion per ASTM D3359- 93.
Corrosion durability will meet a minimum 15,000-hour salt spray resistance per ASTM B117.
