Effect Of Glass Flake In Anti-Corrosive Coatings For Extreme Conditions

Environments in oil and gas industries are often characterized by high temperature and pressure, harsh chemicals, humidity, extreme stress cycles, radiation, and mechanical disturbances.1,2 These extreme conditions degrade the ability of materials to perform, thus requiring enhanced protection through application of heavy-duty anti-corrosive and chemical resistant coatings that can withstand the aggressive environment.

Glass flake reinforced epoxy coatings have been widely used for many years on substrates exposed to extremely aggressive environments (such as splash zones of offshore installations). Glass flakes with high aspect ratio (large surface area and low thickness) can be dispersed in the epoxy resin and increase the path length for the diffusion of moisture and chemical ions. Therefore, it is believed that glass flake additives are particularly useful for harsh environments. In addition, glass flake additives are also known to enhance the durability of coatings. In this article, we used different analytical tools to determine the influence of glass flake quantity on the anti-corrosive properties of an epoxy coatings reinforced with glass flake.
