GLASS FLAKES
On top of that because of the durability and ease of application of the glass flake coatings, the duration time required for dry docking will be extended and the maintenance time on bottom surface will also be reduced.

Desalination Plants

A study was conducted by the United State Department of Interior to analyse the suitability of glass flake compound for corrosion protection in desalination plant.
30 coatings/ linings was applied to steel substrates. Glass flakes coating outperform the laminated linings and other coatings.
Glass flake in polyester was found to be the best in this particular environment.

Power and Process

Glass flake filled coating has been used successfully for many years in coatings of ducting, scrubber, accumulators, breeching, vertical stack liners where the combine corrosive and abrasive action of SO2 and SO3 will render many other coatings unsuitable.
