Technology Overview

Union FlexCoat formulations maintain coating integrity through significant post-application bending and forming operations. Available across all major chemistry platforms, these flexible coatings enable manufacturing processes where forming occurs after coating application.

Key Performance Features

Excellent Flexibility

Union FlexCoat achieves exceptional elongation and flexibility, allowing coated profiles to undergo bending and forming operations without cracking, delamination, or loss of adhesion. This capability supports innovative manufacturing processes and complex part geometries.

Cross-Chemistry Availability

Unlike specialized flexible coatings limited to specific resin systems, Union FlexCoat is available in epoxy, epoxy-polyester hybrid, polyester, and polyurethane formulations. This breadth ensures optimal performance matching for diverse application requirements.

Maintained Mechanical Properties

Despite their enhanced flexibility, Union FlexCoat formulations maintain excellent impact resistance, hardness, and abrasion resistance. This balance of properties ensures durable performance in demanding applications while enabling post-coating fabrication.

Process Efficiency

By allowing bending and forming after coating application, Union FlexCoat simplifies manufacturing workflows and enables more complex part designs. This flexibility can reduce production steps and improve overall manufacturing efficiency.
