IntroductionCoating

A covering that is applied to the

surface of an object.

Eg: Industrial Flooring,Waterproofing

Steel Protection

Industrial Flooring

Waterproofing

Epoxy Resin Also called "epoxy" or "polyepoxide". Thermosetting Polymer, Copolymer General Properties:

High Mechanical Properties: large cohesive force Good Adhesive Performance: great number of polar group Excellent stability: without impurities(base and salt) Flexibility and diversity in Designing

Because of the stability and mechanical properties, epoxy resin coating owns great chemical and physical resistance.

Marketability

“Marketability” of the Epoxy Coatings Industry

Epoxy coatings are chemically resistant to water, saltwater, organics, and acid

Also resistant to mechanical damage (scratches) Also does not deform at high temperatures, due to

its thermoset polymer nature Thanks to this wide variety of desirable properties

and applications, epoxy coating are marketed in industrials, commercial, and residential sectors

The Industry of Epoxy Resins China produces 30% or the worldwide market. $5 Billion industry in North America

Hexion (Shell Development Company) Dow Chemical Company Huntsman Corporation’s Advanced Materials

Some current applications are on “under-the-hood” automotive components, floor coatings, underground tanks/pipes/cables, electrical connectors, circuit boards, adhesives, structural support additive in high stress areas like wind turbines and aerospace frames

Engineering

Protective coatings are therefore usually based on primers containing a linseed oil or alkyd binder and anti-corrosion pigments such as red lead, lead chromate, zinc chromate, potassium zinc chromate, and zinc dust.

The completed coating system will have a dry thickness of 5 to 10 mils.

Industrial Applications

Waterproofing – roofing, sealing, bonding Concrete repairs – weather, lightweight yet

strong Metal protection – corrosion resistant

Before

After repair

Industrial Applications

Industrial flooring rubber carpet: playgrounds, water parks,

bathrooms chemical resistant and hard-wearing non-slip flooring: stadiums, gyms, industry

As for Epoxy Resin Coatings...

Epoxy coatings were developed for heavy duty service on metal substrates and use less energy than heat-cured powder coatings.

Their low volatility and water clean up makes them useful for factory cast iron, cast steel, cast aluminum applications and reduces exposure and flammability issues associated with solvent-borne coatings.

Conclusion

As a result, epoxy resin coatings has been widely used in many different conditions.
