Characterization of the Surface Mechanical properties of Paints and Polymeric Surface Coatings

Characterization of the Surface Mechanical properties of Paints and Polymeric Surface Coatings
Available for download

The mechanical properties of polymeric coatings are often overlooked because researchers are not aware of how modern instrumentation can now aid them in understanding how a particular product may survive in service conditions. In many applications the two main considerations are aesthetics and durability, both of which can be directly related to the mechanical properties of the base material.

The mechanical properties of polymeric coatings are often overlooked because researchers are not aware of how modern instrumentation can now aid them in understanding how a particular product may survive in service conditions. In many applications the two main considerations are aesthetics and durability, both of which can be directly related to the mechanical properties of the base material. For example, the durability of a paint will depend on its hardness, elastic modulus, scratch resistance, abrasion resistance and on how well it adheres to its substrate. The aesthetic quality of the paint surface will depend on its ability to resist surface scratches and deformations which will diffract light and cause it to lose its glossy appearance. This paper presents the instrumentation methods required to measure accurate mechanical properties of soft polymeric coating materials which are commonly used in paints, varnishes, lacquers, etc. A range of examples of typical results is also included to give the reader some ideas of the information which can be obtained from some of these simple tests.

Industrial and marine protective coating systems are most commonly applied without incident and perform as expected over their anticipated service life. However, occasionally, a coating system will fail prematurely, for unexpected reasons, and with expensive consequences. This paper addresses those unexpected failures and provides reasons and remedies for such occurrences.
