Manufacturer's description

Teslan® 1500 Aluminum CNT Primer can be applied directly to prepared steel surfaces. It is a solvent-based, two-component aluminum carbon nanotube (CNT) epoxy-polyamide primer designed to protect metal surfaces in corrosive environments.

Teslan 1500 primer is durable and protects against impact and mechanical damage while delivering superior corrosion protection. The primer is formulated with CNTs and aluminum, in the form of sacrificial aluminum dust. The CNTs align in long and strong ropelike structures that provide the ultimate in corrosion protection.

Salt fog test results and a long-term independent laboratory study finds that the combination of Tesla’s CNT technology with sacrificial aluminum dust allows for a reduction in the aluminum load required, while providing an improvement n performance compared to traditional organic zinc-rich systems.

This primer can be directly topcoated without application of an intermediate epoxy or urethane coating. For optimal results, follow with application of Teslan epoxy, urethane or polyaspartic-hybrid topcoats.

Application is easy, using conventional air-spray, air-assisted airless or airless spray equipment.

Others Say

This company is expanding production of its Teslan® brand of nanocoatings, a corrosion-resistant coating for structural steel, produced with SMW™ specialty multi-wall carbon nanotubes developed by SouthWest NanoTechnologies. Teslan carbon nanocoating is a flexible two-coat system that can replace the traditional three-coat systems used for steel corrosion protection. The coating is reportedly used in industries including oil and gas, military, petrochemical, and transportation
