The North Carolina company EonCoat, LLC, has just introduced a corrosion-resistant coating that appears to be a breakthrough product that could revolutionize the painting industry--and not just for specialty applications like corrosion control. (Don't mix this up with ceramic paints that are being promoted for questionable insulating benefits.) EonCoat and EonCoat HT (for High Temperature) are water-borne, two-part, ceramic coatings that set almost immediately to form dense, protective barriers on steel, aluminum, interior or exterior masonry, wood, wallboard, and a wide range of other substrates.

The paint dries in minutes, and can produce a wide variety of architectural finishes, including sand plaster, in a wide range of colors. When installed over metal, only light brushing to remove flaked paint is required; the surface does not have to be sanded down to bare metal.

The two-part coating is mixed in the spray valve during installation. The Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) show Part A to be phosphoric acid and Part B to be magnesium hydroxide (well-known by the common name "milk of magnesia")--both of which are used in foods or medications and neither of which raises any red flags.
