1. Epoxy Resin Coatings
Team: Monopolymer

2. Introduction Coating A covering that is applied to the
surface of an object.
Eg: Industrial Flooring,Waterproofing
Steel Protection

3. Industrial Flooring
Waterproofing

4. 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.

5. Marketability

6. “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

7. 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

8. 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.

9. Industrial Applications
Waterproofing – roofing, sealing, bonding
Concrete repairs – weather, lightweight yet strong
Metal protection – corrosion resistant
Before
After repair

10. Industrial Applications
Industrial flooring
rubber carpet: playgrounds, water parks, bathrooms chemical resistant and hard-wearing
non-slip flooring: stadiums, gyms, industry

11. 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.

12. Conclusion Epoxy Resin Coatings' Performance:
