Enhancing the UV Durability of Epoxy Coatings: Waterborne Acrylic-Epoxy Hybrid Coatings for Steel

Enhancing the UV Durability of Epoxy Coatings: Waterborne Acrylic-Epoxy Hybrid Coatings for Steel
Available for download

Due to their excellent performance properties, epoxy coatings are commonly used over metal and concrete substrates in applications where corrosion protection and chemical/solvent resistance are key requirements. One weakness of these epoxy coatings is their poor UV durability. Epoxy coatings typically have poor gloss and color retention as well as poor resistance to chalking on exterior exposure.

Due to their excellent performance properties, epoxy coatings are commonly used over metal and concrete substrates in applications where corrosion protection and chemical/solvent resistance are key requirements. One weakness of these epoxy coatings is their poor UV durability. Epoxy coatings typically have poor gloss and color retention as well as poor resistance to chalking on exterior exposure. Many epoxy coatings also contain solvents which contribute to high volatile organic compound (VOC) levels. Waterborne epoxy coatings can often be formulated to low VOC, but exterior durability still remains a challenge. Combining excellent corrosion protection and chemical/solvent resistance with exterior durability and low VOC in a coating based on epoxy chemistry is not an easy task. This paper will describe a new two-component waterborne acrylic-epoxy technology that facilitates direct-to-metal (DTM) coatings with this important balance of properties. The system has versatility in that the acrylic-epoxy hybrid polymers can be cured with either traditional waterborne amine hardeners or with acid-functional acrylic hardeners. Performance of the waterborne acrylic-epoxy hybrid technology in single-coat gloss DTM coatings and anticorrosive primers will be described, along with comparisons to traditional waterborne and solventborne epoxy coatings.

Improvement of Weather Resistance for Epoxy Based Coatings on Marine Structures

Product Number: 51216-008-SG
Author: Sang-Moon Shin, Chung-Seo Park, Seung-Gon Choo, Sang-Sik Park, Kyoung-Sub Hwang
Publication Date: 2016
$20.00

Epoxy-based coating used in the ships and marine structures can be quickly degraded after only a short period of exterior exposure. The weathering defects such as discoloration, chalking and gloss reduction are originated from a photo-oxidation of aromatic group in the epoxy resin under the UV light. Weather resistance coatings such as polyurethane and polysiloxane require more work due to the short over-coating interval and low compatibility with primer coating layers.

(Pipeline, Oil & Gas) A Hot Spread Epoxy Phenolic Coating for CUI Mitigation: From Confusion to Fusi

Product Number: 30-COAT_DEC21
Author: Mike O’Donoghue / Vijay Datta / Ian Fletcher
Publication Date: 2021
$20.00

It is fair to say that maintenance in the worldwide oil and gas industry has changed dramatically over the past ten years.  Facility owners are more than ever looking to reduce shutdown times, to improve plant efficiency and to extend plant lifetimes. With this comes the increased industry understanding about corrosion under insulation (CUI) with its deleterious impact and the ongoing desire for pragmatic high performance and cost-effective coating solutions.
