How is Cipy different from other coating manufacturers?

Cipy is the only company in India which offers variety of products ranging from floor coatings, clear coatings, adhesives, sealants, corrosion control coatings, OEM finishes based on four polymers, viz. PU, EP, EPU & Acrylics in three different versions: solvented, solventless and aqueous. This gives you innumerable options to choose the right product for the right application.

What is Polyurethane ? How many grades does Cipy offer ?

Polyurethane is a reaction product of a polyisocyanate and hydroxyl groups. According to ASTM classification, (ASTM D16) there are 5 types of Polyurethane coatings. We manufacture all types of urethane coatings - 1K and 2 K. We manufacture solvent borne, solventless and water borne urethane coatings based on aromatic as well as aliphatic isocyanates.

What is elastomeric, 100% solventless coatings ?

Solventless coatings are now popular worldwide because of their excellent resistance to aggressive environment, unlimited film build (200 microns to 2000 microns), fast application, low temperature curing capability and zero VOC emissions. As these coatings are rapid curing, within minutes of application, conventional coating techniques can not be utilized. Plural component airless spray equipment is usually employed.By definition, the term 100% solids means that the system neither contains any solvent nor uses any solvent to dilute it. It is in liquid state and will convert to a solid film after curing. Cipy's Durathane 100 is such a coating.

What is moisture curing urethane ?

Moisture curing urethane is 1K polyisocyanate resin which reacts with atmospheric moisture to form urea linkages.Although this is technically a polyurea system, it is generally referred to as moisture cured urethane (MCU).The chemistry is that polyisocyanates first undergo a reaction with water to form carbamic acid which dissociates to form amine & carbon dioxide which further undergo reaction with isocyanate to form urea linkages.Urea linkages offer excellent bonding characteristics.Moisture curing urethanes are available in aromatic and aliphatic grades. Cipy's Rust-O-Thane is an aromatic grade of MCU.

Why Cipy is so versatile in floor toppings ?

Cipy employs three polymers in floor toppings : PU, Epoxy and EPU. With the above, various product combinations are possible to offer the right product blend for the right application. So in a pharma floor, you may opt for Epoxy or EPU. In an automobile unit, you may go for a complete PU system. In a light engineering. industry, you may use a physical combination of an Epoxy (as under coat) and a PU (as top coat).Cipy believes in multi polymer technology and application.

What is EPU?

EPU is a hybrid resin incorporating epoxy and Polyurethane resins. The hydroxyl groups in the epoxy resin are reacted with Polyisocynate to form urethane linkages.The resulting film of EPU is flexible and quite hard and possesses excellent properties such as abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, excellent adhesion etc.

What is Rust-0-Thane and how does it work differently from other anti-corrosive paints ?

Rust-O-Thane is a single component, encapsulating primer based on MCU. It cures with atmospheric moisture to yield urea linkages. Rust-O-Thane contains special grade of lamellar pigments which acts as a strong corrosion barrier.The advantages of Rust-O-ThaneNo mixing errors.No pot life, no catalyzation, no induction time.No sand blasting and no costly surface preparation.No problems of high relative humidity.

What is PUD ?

PUD is polyurethane dispersion in water. There are three types of dispersions : anionic, non-ionic and cationic.Firstly, an isocynate terminated pre polymer is synthesized by mixing polyol, di-isocynate and hydroxy alkanoic acid. This is then neutralized by an amine (TEA) and dispersed in water which is further chain extended by diamines like EDA, IPD etc.PUD's are available in 1K and 2K systems.

What is 1 K blocked Polyurethane ?

In one component heat cured systems, the polyisocyanate groups are blocked by a blocking agent, therefore, preventing it from reacting with hydroxy! groups of either polyol or moisture. On heating the system to a temperature ranging from 140°C to 180°C, the blocking agent is released and the isocyanate functionality is restored. It now reacts with hydroxyl groups to form urethane linkages. These coatings are stable at room temperature and unaffected by exposure to moisture.
