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 “visco-elastic” property that flows into the substrate and ensures a full wetting of the entire surface. This behaviour does not change with time, meaning that internal stresses to do arise in STOPAQ® ensuring 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 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! By offering unique non-crosslinkable anti-corrosion and sealant solutions that require only minimal surface preparation and perform for life, STOPAQ® ensures an environmentally-friendly, energy efficient and safe coating system application. STOPAQ® continuously develops new systems and applications by focussing its activity on the interaction between science, industry and the needs of the market. Our Research and Development is tasked to look for safer, healthier, risk-free, faster, easier and absolutely sustainable solutions from a total low cost of ownership perspective.
