How does Bronz-Glow compare to phenolic coatings?
A. Phenolic coatings have been in the market place for many years, and are fairly effective. However, phenolic coatings are only formulated to protect against a limited pH range, either an acidic (1.0 – 6.0) or alkali (9.0-14.0). This limits their effectiveness within the actual environment. There is also a “modified” phenolic that protects against corrosion over a broader range, usually 3.0-12.0. These coatings have also been formulated to have 250-400% flexibility, so they can expand and contract at the same rate as the alloy they are coating. Phenolic coatings are normally baked at 350-400° F, making repair to the coating using the same formula or process impossible. Bronz-Glow on the other hand is a single component coating that may be force-cured at 120° F, or air cured. This makes it possible to make repairs to the coating using the same coating as was originally used, for the life of the coating.
