PRODUCT INFORMATION:
PermaMax Polyurethane Electrocoat
COLORS:
Clear, Black, Blue, Red, Gold, Red, Brass, Antique Brass, and Bronze
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
PermaMax offers excellent resistance to corrosion and tarnish resistance, particularly to persperiation for
interior exposures. Addtionally, PermaMax Polyurethane yields cured films with excellent mechanical
properties and an outstanding combination of UV, Solvent, Chemical and wear resistance, even at
thinner film thickness. This permits opaque and transparent coatings to products requiring cosmetic
enhancement, corrosion protection or both.
Typical uses for PermaMax Polyuretane electricoat enamel, include Medical, Computer, Eyewear, Door
Hardware and Automotive applications.
