Introduction Coating 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 Epoxy Resin Coatings' Performance: Properties☺☺☺ Producing☺☺ Cost☺☺ As a result, epoxy resin coatings has been widely used in many different conditions.
