Xiom Corp. Expands Coatings Line, Focuses on Safety and Environment

Tag : triglycidyl isocyanurate
Xiom Corporation (OTCBB: XMCP), developers and manufacturers of thefirst completely portable polymer powder coating spray system, hasbrought to market four new coatings for use with its system. Thecoatings are all environmentally friendly and designed to protectstructures against the elements, thus reducing the energy andmaterials costs involved in replacement.

All of Xiom's coatings are environmentally friendly as they containno VOCs. In addition, the newest coating--690--is TGIC-free. TheU.S. Office of Occupational Health and Safety (OHSA) hasestablished exposure limits for TGIC (1,3,5-TriglycidylIsocyanurate), a chemical used to cure polyesters, but it is theonly country in the word that has not banned TGIC. To avoid thepossibility of the skin and respiratory conditions associated withTGIC's use, Xiom chose to develop a line of TGIC-free coatings.

Two other coatings have been designed to prolong the life of woodenstructures, thereby reducing the need for lumber. A polyestercoating especially designed to be used on exterior woods, XT630 isa low-temperature-melt-and-cure powder that can be used on anyheat-sensitive materials. Xiom's new XT742 is an epoxy-polyesterdesigned to be used on interior woods. No pre-heating is necessaryto apply this fast, low-temperature-cure coating. XT742 is idealfor wood and other materials like cardboard and plastic that can'tstand up to high temperatures.

PDF X300 is the first fluoropolymer that can be sprayed with Xiom'sportable system. The coating is highly resistant to chemicalcorrosion. It is ideal for environments and industries in whichacids and bases are present.

Xiom's coatings engineers are also at work on a retro-reflectivecoating capable of reflecting sunlight as well as artificial light.When applied to roofing materials, this polymer-based coating willbe able to reduce the temperature of the roof, bringing aboutsignificant savings in energy. An anti-static coating and animproved polyethylene coating will also be available shortly.
