Druiwebak Verf - literally Grape-bin Paint

This is a versatile product made to coat metal bins that harvested grapes and fruit are transported in.
It is a quick drying solvent based coating, resistant to acid and alkali, self priming on metal and has low moisture and oxygen permeability. That is quite a list of attributes for a single product, and is what makes it so versatile. Low moisture and oxygen permeability reduce the chances of the substrate rusting and together with the inclusion of an anti-corrosion pigment, make the product a good choice as a metal coating. Resistance to acids, self priming on metals, low oxygen and moisture permeability, and good u.v. resistance makes it ideal for the primary use on grape/fruit bins. The fact that it is alkali resistant makes it suitable for coating directly onto cement plastered surfaces. Walls and floors in wine cellars and fruit pack-stores have been successfully coated with this product. The binder composition is similar to that of the traditional road-marking paint - the ones that lasted years but are now deemed to be too expensive.

Druiwebak Verf has Thales approval for use in wine-cellars.
