X-Retore is a 2 part siloxane clear based coating system used to protect Ferrous and Non-Ferrous surfaces from the elements providing a tough, non corrosive flexible barrier. It will restore weathered surfaces back to their original luster in just one coat. As it establishes a covalent bond with the parent material, it provides excellent wear resistance, has a high tolerance to heat and will not allow bacterial growth, providing many opportunities for its application.
Graffiti Coatings
Graffiti is a big challenge in today’s society and a costly for the community. X-Restore and X-Protect Top Coat provide an excellent barrier allowing removal of graffiti. Trials have shown that the product will stand up to 20 applications and removal of graffiti before needing to be re coated. X-Protect Top Coat is being used to protect street art around Melbourne from vandalism with great effect.
Floor Coatings
X-Protect Top Coat and X-Protect Vinyl provide a high gloss, slip resistant coating to protect floor coverings such as ceramic tiles and slate tiles. X-Protect Concrete provides a durable finish over concrete that will prevent dust generation, while provide a tough, high impact floor coating.
All products as siloxane based costings so they have the inherent properties of UV protection, chemical resistance, salt resistance and a long lasting life.
HVAC Coatings
The cost of energy continues to climb and the inefficient use of energy, adds unnecessarily to the earths carbon footprint. HVAC units are typically hidden – out of sight, out of mind. So they are often poorly maintained and when they are finally inspected, the coil has already significantly corroded. X-Gen Opty Coil provides protection for coil against corrosion, salt and chemical attack. The covalent bond ensure the product will not crack or peel. As it is a super thin coating, there is no measurable impact on heat transfer and aids the future coil cleaning.
Ceramic Coatings
X-Gen Solar Shield provides a water tight, corrosion resistant barrier that reflects more than 90% of solar energy. It is lightweight, non-conductive and coverage large areas. The product is tintable and can be applied to surfaces like Hebel Panel providing a rendered look finish that adds to the thermal properties of the underlying product.
Combined with Opty Coil, energy efficiency gains of up to 25% have been achieved. Savings that will go to straight to your bottom line, but most importantly reduce your impact on global warming.
Applications
Investigations
At xGen Coatings, we believe in a sustainable solutions and are prepared to think outside the product in the application of our product. We have already conducted a number of trial applications with surprising results. For example, we have trialed the product on signage to provide a UV protective coating to increase life. A key factor here was reflectivity and while we were hoping for only a minor reduction, to our surprise we had a 30% increase. We are currently trialing the product on solar panels to provide a protective surface while increasing performance…….watch this space.
