Areas of Application
Epoxy Acid Resistant Paint
Star Acid Shield
Protects Industrial Surfaces From Acids, Alkalis, and Chemical Corrosion
Star Acid Shield is a two-component epoxy coating formulated for facilities that face relentless chemical exposure day in and day out. Built with plant engineers, contractors, and facility managers in mind, it protects cementitious, metallic, and epoxy substrates across chemical processing, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and wastewater treatment environments.
Its high-build thixotropic formula goes on thick without sagging, so vertical and overhead surfaces get full protection in a single coat. Paired with exceptional resistance to concentrated acids, alkalis, and industrial solvents, Star Acid Shield reduces recoating frequency, lowers maintenance costs, and keeps critical plant equipment protected for years.
Why Choose Star Acid Shield
- Two-Component Epoxy Formula — chemically cured resin system delivers superior bonding and long-lasting acid resistance
- High-Build Thixotropic Application — thick, non-sag consistency allows single-coat coverage on vertical and overhead surfaces
- Exceptional Acid Resistance — withstands prolonged exposure to concentrated acids, alkalis, and industrial solvents without breaking down
- Multi-Substrate Compatibility — bonds securely to concrete, metal, and existing epoxy resin binder surfaces
- Corrosion and Degradation Protection — forms a dense barrier that blocks moisture and chemical ingress into substrates
- Extended Service Life — reduces recoating frequency and protects equipment investment for years of reliable performance

The Problem
3 Problems That Make Star Acid Shield Important
Chemical plants and industrial facilities face constant acid exposure, corrosion, and costly maintenance — a robust acid resistant paint solves all three.
Acid & Chemical Damage
Constant exposure to acids, alkalis, and harsh chemicals causes surface deterioration, corrosion, and structural damage.
Corrosion & Premature Surface Failure
Unprotected concrete and metal surfaces corrode, crack, and wear quickly, leading to costly repairs and equipment downtime.
Frequent Maintenance & High Repair Costs
Ordinary coatings fail in aggressive chemical environments, resulting in repeated recoating, increased maintenance, and higher lifecycle costs.
Benefits
6 Reasons to Choose Star Acid Shield
Star Acid Shield delivers lasting acid resistance, one-coat efficiency, and multi-substrate protection that keeps industrial facilities running with less maintenance.
Blocks Acid Penetration for Good
The epoxy resin base creates a dense, non-porous barrier that stops acids from penetrating the substrate. That means fewer chemical burns, less corrosion, and significantly longer service life for tanks, floors, and structural steel.
Thick Coverage, Fewer Coats
High-build thixotropic texture applies thickly without sagging on walls or overhead surfaces, so fewer coats are needed. That saves labor hours and material costs on every project.
One Coating, Every Surface
Bonds to concrete, metal, and epoxy resin binder surfaces, so one product handles diverse plant assets. That avoids the hassle and expense of sourcing separate coatings for each substrate.
Stops Corrosion Before It Starts
Seals substrates from moisture and chemical attack, preventing rust and material breakdown before it begins. That avoids expensive emergency repairs and unplanned equipment downtime.
Fewer Recoats, Lower Costs
Resists degradation for years, so plants recoat less often. That cuts labor and material expenses while keeping production running smoothly.
Trusted Across Industries
Adapts to chemical plants, food processing units, and more, giving engineers confidence when specifying protection for critical infrastructure.
How to Apply
Star Acid Shield Installation Procedure
Applying Star Acid Shield is straightforward when you follow the correct mixing, application, and curing process.
Prepare the Mix
Stir Part A (resin) until the pigment is fully dispersed. Add Part B (hardener) and mix continuously for 2 minutes until a uniform colour is achieved. Transfer the mixture to a clean container, remix thoroughly, and allow it to stand for approximately 3 minutes before use.
Apply the Coating
Ensure the substrate is clean and properly prepared. If the moisture content exceeds 4%, use the product as a Temporary Moisture Barrier (T.M.B.) system. Apply the mixed material evenly over the surface to achieve complete and uniform coverage.
Protect During Curing
Keep the applied coating protected from moisture, condensation, and direct water exposure for at least 24 hours. If temporary heating is required, use electric-powered warm air blowers only and avoid gas, oil, paraffin, or other fossil fuel heaters.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Star Acid Shield.
What is Star Acid Shield used for?
Star Acid Shield is an acid resistant paint used to protect concrete, metal, and epoxy surfaces from corrosion caused by acids, alkalis, and industrial chemicals.
Is Star Acid Shield a two-component product?
Yes, it is a two-component epoxy resin acid resistant paint that must be mixed in the correct ratio before application.
Which surfaces can this acid proof paint be applied to?
It bonds well to cementitious, metallic, and existing epoxy resin binder substrates, making it suitable for floors, tanks, and structural steel.
How is this acid resistant epoxy different from regular paint?
Unlike standard paints, this coating chemically cures into a dense film that resists acid penetration, corrosion, and chemical degradation over the long term.
Where is Star Acid Shield commonly used?
This acid resistant paint is common in chemical processing plants, pharmaceutical facilities, food and beverage units, and wastewater treatment plants.
How thick is the coating applied?
Its high-build thixotropic formula allows thick, single-coat application without sagging, giving full protective film thickness in fewer coats than typical acid proof paint products.
Does surface preparation affect the performance of this acid resistant paint?
Yes, proper cleaning and profiling of the substrate is essential for strong adhesion and maximum acid resistance.
How long does an acid resistant epoxy coating like this last?
With correct application and surface preparation, this coating offers years of protection, reducing recoating frequency and maintenance costs.
Can this acid resistant paint withstand continuous chemical exposure?
Yes, it is formulated to withstand harsh, continuous chemical exposure, making it suitable for tanks, bunds, and containment areas.
Why choose Star Acid Shield over other acid proof paint options?
It combines superior chemical resistance, multi-substrate compatibility, and long service life, making it a reliable acid resistant paint for demanding industrial environments.
