What corrosion protection does Goldacres have?

Goldacres paint is an epoxy modified, acrylic melamine based topcoat containing pigments of high opacity and colour retention. It features excellent gloss, excellent mar resistance (the resistance of material to abrasive action), tough and flexible and excellent resistance to chemicals. Goldacres have taken steps to ensure sprayers are well protected against corrosive substances. The Goldacres paint process includes shot blast surface preparation, followed by primer, two specially formulated acrylic liquid top coats and then oven baking at 130ºc. This ensures an exceptionally good finish and excellent chemical resistance. Where possible stainless steel bolts are used and all bolts are sprayed with a high quality, G15 brand, rust preventative. In highly exposed areas covers are fitted to ensure even more protection. It remains important that the sprayer is washed down thoroughly following the use of corrosive substances, such as liquid nitrogen, and then recoated with G15 as an extra safety measure. Goldacres have the most comprehensive paint process used in the sprayer industry to provide you with the most durable and chemical resistant paint finish available.

Goldacres paint process has a high degree of mar and is subjected to the following tests:

1. Scratch test. A scratching tool is used to cut lines through the paint surface. The paint must not chip but cut into surface lines
2. Flexibility test. The paint surface is twisted to ensure good adhesion.
3. Chemical resistance. Goldacres paint has been tested in chemicals including UAN to ensure maximum chemical resistance.
4. Regular tests are done to ensure consistent paint thickness.
