As a means of surface preparation for protective coatings, abrasive blasting provides proper surface roughness and increases the surface area, which are critical in achieving physical and chemical adhesion between steel surface and organic coatings. For application of high-performance coating in a new shipbuilding, the abrasive blasting cleaning is widely favored primarily because of its economic and performance benefits. The abrasive blasting, however, also requires the significant amount of labor hour, whereas its efficiency mainly depends on the blaster’s skill.
Performance properties of solvent-based urethane topcoats formulated with fluorinated polymers are reviewed. Fluoro-urethanes offer outstanding gloss and color retention, good chemical resistance, and excellent adhesion. The long coating service life of fluoro-urethanes reduces the frequency of maintenance work and subsequent downtime interruption.
