Protective Coatings

Multicoat is designed and innovated to  protect against the high cost of corrosion faced by any industry with the help of wide range of products.
Our comprehensive, cost-effective solutions protect a multitude of metallic and nonmetallic surfaces against the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays, chemicals, oils, alkalis, food acids, water immersion, abrasion, and high-pressure washdowns. Multicoat covers sectors such as processing, packaging, food, pharmaceutical, equipment manufacture, chemical, petrochemical, and other industries where strong requirements exist for preventing premature destruction of surfaces caused by exposure to water and other corrosive elements.
All our coatings are innovative chemical solutions based on various chemistries such as epoxy, polyurethane, MMA, polyester and vinyl ester, including unique fillers to get best protection. We care a great deal about ecological issues and have recently created our High solids coating system, which has no harmful effect on the natural environment and honors vigorous legislative regulations. Multichem is constantly working to ensure that every last kilogram Multicoat or each anti-corrosion coating that we produce meets or exceeds our customers’ highest expectations.

Our coatings deliver proven, long-term effectiveness, protecting components in even the most challenging environments, including offshore oil and gas structures and the insides of chemical tanks. MetaPrime, MultiCoat, MultiPox, MultiDur and Armourthane can be used in both alkaline and acid environments. Some of application areas are Chemicals and petrochemicals industries, Oil and gas exploration, Power generation, Mine and metal processing, Water and waste water facilities, Bridges, airport and stadium, Effluent treatment plants.

Since last decates, there has been renewed interest in improving the fire safety of buildings. This movement applies not only to the physical structure of the building but to the building’s furnishings and decorative elements as well. Although active fire suppression systems such as sprinklers and fire extinguishers continue to be employed, fire code officials increasingly believe that passive systems are needed as well to reduce smoke and slow fire spread. These passive systems require materials that are either innately fire proof or that can be protected by the incorporation of a fire retardant into the material or by coating the material with a fire retardant coating. Multichem manufactures PyroShield, FireShield, and MultiChar range of products to offer protection to your assets.

Multichem manufacturers water-based technology, which gives a smooth finish in a faster time than other methods. Given the environmental benefits of water-based coatings then these products are now the preferred choice among specifiers and applicators alike. For 60-120 minutes fire protection Multichem have introduced Pyroshield WA range of products giving superior loadings over a wider range of section types, as well as being very easy to spray.

Intumescent coatings are the tried and tested way of protecting buildings and ultimately people and lives. Multichem manufactures PyroShield, FireShield and MultiChar, range of products to offer protection to your assets.

Solvent-Based Intumescent Coatings

For when environments are exposed or semi-exposed then Pyroshield S, solvent based products still provide an answer in obtaining an excellent finish in a reasonable time frame.

Epoxy-Based Intumenscent Coating for Hydrocarbon and jet fire

PFP (Passive Fire Protection) coatings are used extensively throughout the oil, gas and petrochemical industries to protect safety critical structures and equipment from the ever present threat of hydrocarbon hazards such as spills, explosions and fires. FireShield and MultiChar system is uniquely suited to protection against such hazards. Based on flexible epoxy intumescent technology, this type of coating is designed to expand upon exposure to heat into an insulating protective char. This prevents steel from heating up rapidly and delays the loss of load-bearing capacity and integrity – buying crucial time for personnel to escape and limiting asset and environmental damage.

High-temperature-resistant coatings are designed to withstand temperatures ranging from 150°C to over 850°C) while providing protection against corrosion.

High-temperature coating resins could either be an epoxy, epoxy phenolic, epoxy novolac, silicone, or a more specialized multi-polymeric matrix depending on the level of temperature resistance required.

For service under insulation, a single-component product coating can be used for a wide range of operating temperatures and provides excellent protection against corrosion under insulation (CUI). In areas where insulation is not required, a two-coat system consisting of a primer and silicone topcoat is more suited.

Utilizing HeatSheild quality products with proven track records is the key to protecting assets and reducing expensive downtime.

High-temperature coatings are often found in many sectors such as the following industries:
  • Aerospace
  • Power
  • Manufacturing
  • Petrochemical
  • Military
Specific examples of applications for high-temperature coatings include:
  • Jet Engines
  • Power/Chemical plants/Refineries
  • Offshore assets
  • OEM applications
  • Corrosion Under Insulation
  • Fireproofing
  • Buildings and Construction

One of the biggest challenges faced by food and beverage manufacturers, hospitals, pharmaceutical facilities, and leisure industry operators is the growth of mold and bacteria—an issue that cannot be ignored. Multichem offers a range of hygiene coatings under the HygiGard brand, specifically designed to protect and enhance internal walls and ceilings in hygiene-sensitive environments. These water-based or 100% solid, resin-rich coatings create a seamless, easy-to-clean surface, eliminating joints and crevices where bacteria can thrive.

Maintaining a sterile environment in food manufacturing plants, breweries, kitchens, pharmaceutical, and healthcare facilities requires careful attention to numerous critical factors. Among them, preventing the growth of mold, bacteria, and other microorganisms is paramount. A proven, technically advanced hygienic coating for internal walls and ceilings provides long-lasting antimicrobial protection, ensuring a hard-wearing, easy-to-maintain surface free from joints and seams where dirt and bacteria could accumulate.

Primary and Secondary Containment Coatings.
