A Novel, 100% Solids, Zero VOC Coating System for Long Lasting and Maintenance Free Foul Release and Inhibition

A Novel, 100% Solids, Zero VOC Coating System for Long Lasting and Maintenance Free Foul Release and Inhibition
Available for download

Marine fouling is a significant problem in many industries. Since the ban of tributyl tin, a toxic additive prevalent in anti-fouling coatings, various new technologies have emerged to combat this problem. Silicone elastomers are a popular, non-toxic solution to fouling in numerous marine environments. These coatings, however, still incorporate volatile organic compounds (VOC) to aid in application and often require routine maintenance or recoating in approximately 5 years.

Marine fouling is a significant problem in many industries. Since the ban of tributyl tin, a toxic additive prevalent in anti-fouling coatings, various new technologies have emerged to combat this problem. Silicone elastomers are a popular, non-toxic solution to fouling in numerous marine environments. These coatings, however, still incorporate volatile organic compounds (VOC) to aid in application and often require routine maintenance or recoating in approximately 5 years. We set out to develop a zero VOC coating system, based on renewable raw materials, that can provide a green alternative to these solvented silicone elastomers. We have been able to engineer a novel hybrid siloxane system that imparts the low surface energy and anti-fouling characteristics of a silicone elastomer without the use of any volatile organic materials. This coating system provides excellent strength, adhesion, and abrasion resistance and will provide a long term, environmentally friendly solution to marine fouling.

Details of a new protocol for evaluating the effectiveness of coatings to reduce corrosion of steel structures is presented in this paper. Basic concepts of accelerated testing specified in American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) standards and recent research investigations were used to develop a procedure that can provide conclusive results within 2400 hours of exposure as compared to more than 5000 hours in current practices.

A Study on Rapid Cure Non-Skid Coating System for Exposed Deck of the Marine Vessels

 Characteristics of the rapid cure non-skid coating systems for the highly stressed area, exposed deck of the marine vessels were studied in order to establish an advanced coating system with higher cracking resistance. Some previous non-skid epoxy based coating systems for marine vessels suffered premature coating failure such as crack and delamination due to the lower fracture elongation of the coating accompanied with higher external stress.

A Study of the Effect of Film Thickness and Blast Profile on Accelerated Underfilm Corrosion Creep

The creepage of corrosion underneath a coatings film applied to a steel test panel is often used as a performance test for the anti-corrosion properties of a coating system. Underfilm corrosion creep, also sometimes referred as scribe creep in the laboratory environment, is defined as the degree of corrosion emanating away from a scribe line underneath a coating film applied to a steel substrate.
