Water-resistant lacquers or coatings are crucial when structures, objects, or facilities are exposed to moisture/water. This can be relevant in both indoor and outdoor applications. In environments with high humidity, such as certain production facilities and storage areas, water-resistant lacquers or coatings provide an (additional) sealing layer that protects the materials in question against moisture penetration.
Applications of water-resistant lacquers and coatings
Below, we share some common applications of water-resistant lacquers and coatings:
- Maritime industry. Water-resistant lacquers are an indispensable part of the maritime sector. Consider ships, containers, drilling platforms, and other offshore structures that are constantly exposed to saltwater and humid air;
- Warehouse halls, industrial complexes, and production areas. Water-resistant lacquers and coatings prove their value on both the interior and exterior of such buildings, for example, for overhead doors. They protect the substrate not only against weather influences but also against the adhesion of dirt;
- The built environment. From flood defenses to traffic signs; water resistance is also an important factor for preservation in the infrastructure/civil engineering sector.
