KST 898: Underwater-Curing Solvent-Free Coating for Marine Structures
KST 898 can be applied and cured on submerged substrates and is fully compatible with cathodic protection systems for integrated corrosion control. Model 449 is a two-component solvent-free synthetic coating formulated with hydrocarbon wax and modified resin. Precise chemical ratios and advanced synthesis ensure formation of a highly cross-linked 3D network during curing.
Core Technologies
- Hydrocarbon wax provides hydrophobic properties to block seawater penetration
- Modified resin enhances mechanical strength and chemical stability
- Inhibits electrochemical corrosion in marine environments
- Cures underwater while forming ultra-dense, abrasion-resistant film
Recommended Applications
- Protective coating for splash zone maintenance on offshore platforms
- Corrosion protection in seawater immersion zone
- Applications requiring low surface preparation and wear resistance
