For these 3-4 mm thick glass mat reinforced coatings, polyester, vinyl ester, epoxy and epoxy-novolac resins are used. These coatings are characterized by their resistance to corrosion combined with excellent impact strength and abrasion resistance. If necessary, they can also be supplied in an electrically conducting form. The surfaces are grippy but non-porous and need no additional sealing. They are primarily used in highwear applications up to a wet temperature of
75 °C.
