Tannin-based inhibitive pigment for sustainable epoxy coatings formulation

Optimization of a Waterborne Epoxy Coatings Formulation via Experimental Design

Waterborne Epoxy based coatings were prepared by using a water-borne epoxy resin and a suitable hardener. The formulation and optimization procedure were carried out on the bases of experimental designs by the mixture design technique in which the important paint properties are modeled by using special cubic model. The corrosion behavior of these coatings was investigated using electrochemical ...

Effects of Colloidal Nanosilica on Epoxy-based Nanocomposite Coatings

Epoxy-based nanocomposites were fabricated with different content of colloidal silica nanoparticles such as 10.0, 20.0 and 30.0 wt %, through solution casting. The covalent bonding interfaces, resulting from a ring-opening reaction between silica nanoparticles and epoxy matrix were confirmed by the Fourier transform (FT-IR) infrared spectroscopy. These nanocomposites were characterized for ...

Thermal properties of siliconized epoxy interpenetrating coatings

This work involves the development of a novel siliconized epoxy interpenetrating coating system using epoxy resin as base, hydroxylterminated polydimethylsiloxane (HTPDMS) as modifier, -aminopropyltriethoxysilane ( -APS) as crosslinking agent and dibutyltindilaurate (DBTDL) as catalyst. Polyamidoamine and aromatic polyamine adduct were used as curing agents for the above coating systems. The th...

Polyol from castor oil and epoxy resin for PU Coatings

Novel reactive polyols were synthesized via modification of castor oil, a renewable agricultural raw material with epoxy resin and triethylamine as a catalyst. This polyol was used for synthesis of polyurethane coating. Coating formulations were developed by reacting polyol with aromatic adduct, aliphatic adduct and castor oil based adduct in different NCO/OH ratio. All coating composition syst...
