WHAT IS STOPAQ?

STOPAQ’s primary layers within a system consist of a fully amorphous, non-crosslinkable, non-polar polymer composition which is totally impermeable once applied. It is impenetrable to water, oxygen and bacteria, the elements that commonly cause corrosion. Unlike conventional coating types, the STOPAQ compound features a liquid-like behavior to flow across and ensure a full wetting of the entire surface of substrate. This behavior does not change with time meaning that internal stresses to do arise in STOPAQ ensures that it retains its corrosion preventative properties (i.e., no ageing). STOPAQ provides superior adhesive strength to any surface (steel pipe or existing coating) through a permanent molecular bonding with the substrate. With a glass transition temperature of -67°C, STOPAQ will flow and adhere even in the coldest working environments, and it will self-heal in case of minor damages.

WHY USE STOPAQ?

STOPAQ manufactures and supplies worldwide a broad range of innovative patent defended corrosion prevention solutions. The corrosion prevention and sealant systems actively protect structural objects against the daily risk of corrosion. Due to its fluid-like nature and unique visco-elastic corrosion properties, the STOPAQ system will protect your valuable assets for life. STOPAQ systems seal, maintenance free, any substrate 100% from the ingress of water, oxygen, bacteria’s or AC/DC current. STOPAQ offers by far the most environmental friendly protection systems in the corrosion protective world. 100% stable, 100% self-healing and 100% adhesion guaranteed!
