LIQUID STAINLESS STEEL PAINT
Superlife 316 is a single component water based paint
filled with 316L stainless steel flake. It has incredible
dry and cure times and superior adhesion. Many
customers paint and ship within 1 or 2 hours. Used
extensively by OEM's of medical and food packaging
equipment and conveyors. It has exceptional UV
resistance and longevity outdoors.
Steel Plus 316CE Stainless Steel Paint
Power grid at Bonneville Dam developed for the Army
Corp of Engineers and applied in 1973.
Steel Plus 316 CE is a water based, highly chemical
resistant novolac epoxy paint with 316L grade stainless
steel flake added as filler. The natural color is that of
316L stainless steel. Used heavily in food process and
environments where high temperature wash downs and
sanitization routinely occur.

How to Build The Best Paint System:
If you want an extremely durable, high
performance paint system, you combine a high
bond strength epoxy primer as a base coat with a
highly chemical resistant epoxy binder filled with
316L stainless steel flake as a base coat and
clear coat CE topcoat. Together they form a 6 mil
DFT laminate that provides high bond strength,
high tensile strength and extremely low
permeability to liquids with high resistance to
corrosive chemicals.
Steel Plus Gloss CE WHITE & Custom Pigmented
The same Features and Benefits apply to the water borne pigmented novolac epoxy resin as the
Steel Plus 316 CE, but without the stainless steel flake. Standard White and company custom colors
or clear coat products are available. The pigmented products have exceptional hide with one coat
and in some cases can go direct to metal (DTM). These are typically OEM products for equipment
suppliers of drives motors, compressors, etc. Company colors are custom matched and stocked.
