Winguard HCR
WINGUARD HCR protective coating is a specially formulated Epoxy Resin based coating system with outstanding chemical resistance.
Winguard HCR - is a two-part, high-build, solvent-free epoxy resin-based coating. Winone offers a chemical-resistant coating for highly corrosive chemical environments and industries to protect metal and concrete. It provides very high strength and high build barrier against fumes, steam and chemical spray. This coating provides significant protection against harmful acids, oils, solvents, and even cleaning solutions, which can easily cause floor erosion.
Problems we solve
- 1.
Costly Downtime:
Chemical plant maintenance leads to downtime, production delays, and efficiency reduction. Management costs are high for maintenance. - 2.
Aging and Corrosion:
Chemicals in the manufacturing process accelerate equipment deterioration. Preventive care helps extend the lifespan of costly assets. - 3.
Safety Hazards:
Chemical corrosion weakens infrastructure, risking its collapse. Thus, frequent checks and repairs are required, which are costly. - 4.
Chemical Spillage Risk:
Human errors happen, but in chemicals, prevention is crucial against spills. Strong protocols minimize harm, protecting workers and the environment. - 5.
Deteriorating Aesthetics:
Rust degrades aesthetic appeal of buildings. Aesthetic appeal is important during client visits to uphold company’s reputation.
Features
- 1.
High Chemical Resistance:
Winguard HCR protects against a wide range of chemicals, even aggressive agents. It is resistant to various alkalis and acids. - 2.

Oil, grease, and water can be significant challenges in industrial settings. Solutions with resistance to these substances prevent stains, degradation, and potential hazards. - 3.
Excellent Adhesion and Easy to Clean:
The coating adheres well to various surfaces. Ideal for hygiene-focused industries, as they're easy to clean. - 4.
Abrasion Resistant:
The durability of this chemically resistant coating is paramount in high-traffic areas and heavy-use applications. - 5.
Solvent-Free for Low Odor and Low VOC:
Solvent-free solutions offer a more environmentally friendly option with reduced odor and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), promoting a healthier and safer workplace.
How to Apply
- 1.
Surface Preparation:
Before applying the protective coating, ensure that the surface is sound, level, and completely free from grease, oil, and any loose deposits. If there are any blowholes or surface defects, they should be repaired prior to coating application. - 2.
First Coat:
Begin by applying the primer using a brush or roller. Allow the surface to cure for a minimum of 24 hours before the application of WinGuard HCR. - 3.
Mixing:
WINGUARD HCR protective coating consists of two components, the resin base, and the hardener, provided pre-weighted in proportions. To prepare for the application, mix both components well until the material achieves a uniform color. - 4.
Multi-layer Application:
Apply WinGuard HCR to the prepared surface such that it creates a continuous film. The second coat should be applied perpendicular to the first coat on the following day. - 5.
Drying and Curing:
Allow the final layer of coating to dry for up to 24 hours to achieve complete curing, ensuring the coating's effectiveness and durability.
Case Studies
Finolex - Coating for Side Stream Filtration tank
This case highlights the issue where a Side stream filtration tank was undergoing heavy corrosion due to continuous spray of cooling water coming on to the vessel from the adjacent cooling tower. Our specialized coating helped provide a 4 layer barrier with nano composite organometallic ingredients that prevent any such onslaught with the most user friendly application process.
