Characteristics of the rapid cure non-skid coating systems for the highly stressed area, exposed deck of the marine vessels were studied in order to establish an advanced coating system with higher cracking resistance. Some previous non-skid epoxy based coating systems for marine vessels suffered premature coating failure such as crack and delamination due to the lower fracture elongation of the coating accompanied with higher external stress.
Characteristics of the rapid cure non-skid coating systems for the highly stressed area, exposed deck of the marine vessels were studied in order to establish an advanced coating system with higher cracking resistance. Some previous non-skid epoxy based coating systems for marine vessels suffered premature coating failure such as crack and delamination due to the lower fracture elongation of the coating accompanied with higher external stress. Hybrid coating systems with polyurethane and polyurea mixture for higher fracture elongation were formulated and evaluated if the coating system would be applicable to the highly stressed area. It was found that the polyurethane and polyurea coating system employed in this study showed higher fracture elongation with the rapid curing time less than 4 hrs. It was also found that the coating system indicated an acceptable adhesion even in case of tool cleaning.
Details of a new protocol for evaluating the effectiveness of coatings to reduce corrosion of steel structures is presented in this paper. Basic concepts of accelerated testing specified in American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) standards and recent research investigations were used to develop a procedure that can provide conclusive results within 2400 hours of exposure as compared to more than 5000 hours in current practices.

The creepage of corrosion underneath a coatings film applied to a steel test panel is often used as a performance test for the anti-corrosion properties of a coating system. Underfilm corrosion creep, also sometimes referred as scribe creep in the laboratory environment, is defined as the degree of corrosion emanating away from a scribe line underneath a coating film applied to a steel substrate.
Now more than ever, epoxy coatings on concrete will only prove successful if diligent care is given to the details of concrete preparation. Preparation is more than grinding or facing of an existing surface and should ideally begin in the developmental stages of the structure.
