The SDI-Flex 54® coating technology, SDI-Flex’s

particle loading, results from our unique ability developed

over thirty years and the trial of hundreds of formulas.

Ceramic particle loading is the addition of a complex series

Of SDI-Flex’s particles into a resin solution which causes the

resin solution to out-perform its basic chemistry.

In addition to improving the chemical performance of resin systems,

SDI-Flex’s particle loading significantly enhances

the dynamic mechanical performance of the resin system.

Total performance characteristics of SDI-Flex 54®, both chemical and

mechanical, are significantly better than

liquid epoxy, fusion-bond epoxy and other high performance coating

systems.

SDI-Flex 54® protects by binding SDI-Flex’s particles

to a unique resin system, thus creating an

encapsulating SDI-Flex’s shell. Each SDI-Flex’s particle i

    in coated and becomes tightly packed in the cured film.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       ENCAPSULATING SDI-FLEX’S SHELL

The compact density of the cured film of SDI-Flex 54® yields dynamic

intangible benefits such as:

 high surface lubricity producing a lower drag coefficient on a variety

of surfaces, and

 extraordinary sliding abrasion resistance providing protection against

the forces of erosion/corrosion and

abrasion.

 

 

TOUGH BARRIER COATING

 

SDI-Flex 54® is a tough

barrier coating for

total immersion service that is compatible with

antifouling bottom coatings.

SDI-Flex 54®’s direct-to-substrate one coat,

two-pass system translates to increased

production efficiency and significantly reduced

down-time, essential in industry today.

SDI-Flex 54® is formulated for atmospheric

corrosion service as well as for immersion service

in very harsh environments. SDI-Flex 54®

currently protects expensive and critical

equipment in industries serving Oil and Gas,

Offshore, Marine, Petrochemical and Industrial

Markets with proven documented results.

Applications have expanded into the Food and

Beverage, Paper and Pulp, Wastewater

Treatment, Electrical Power, Transportation and

Mining Industries.

Extremely high adhesion to virtually any substrate

combined with extraordinary mechanical

properties, make SDI-Flex 54® a superior

protective coating where high abrasion and

severe corrosion problems exist.

THEY DON'T CALL 'EM ROUGHNECKS FOR NOTHING

The oilfield is HARSH. Dirty. Abrasive. Corrosive. Grime-infested muck. You know, Schmutz.

Lucky for you, there’s SDI-Flex.
