Term: acid-resistant paint

Acid-resistant paint is a type of protective coating specifically formulated to withstand exposure to acidic substances and corrosive environments. It is designed to prevent chemical damage, corrosion, and degradation of surfaces such as concrete, metal, or masonry when exposed to acids or harsh chemicals.

In the painting and construction industry, especially in industrial, commercial, or laboratory settings, acid-resistant paints are commonly used to protect surfaces in:

• Chemical plants
• Laboratories
• Food processing facilities
• Wastewater treatment plants
• Battery rooms

These paints typically contain special resins, such as epoxy, polyurethane, or vinyl ester, which provide excellent chemical resistance and durability. In Australia, acid-resistant coatings must often comply with relevant Australian Standards (e.g., AS/NZS 2312 for protective coatings) depending on the application.

Proper surface preparation and application by a qualified professional are essential to ensure the coating performs effectively in corrosive environments.
