Characterization of the Surface Mechanical Properties of Paints and Polymeric Surface Coatings

Characterization of the Surface Mechanical Properties of Paints and Polymeric Surface Coatings
Available for download

The mechanical properties of polymeric coatings are often overlooked because researchers are not aware of how modern instrumentation can now aid them in understanding how a particular product may survive in service conditions. In many applications the two main considerations are aesthetics and durability, both of which can be directly related to the mechanical properties of the base material.

The mechanical properties of polymeric coatings are often overlooked because researchers are not aware of how modern instrumentation can now aid them in understanding how a particular product may survive in service conditions. In many applications the two main considerations are aesthetics and durability, both of which can be directly related to the mechanical properties of the base material. For example, the durability of a paint will depend on its hardness, elastic modulus, scratch resistance, abrasion resistance and on how well it adheres to its substrate. The aesthetic quality of the paint surface will depend on its ability to resist surface scratches and deformations which will diffract light and cause it to loose its glossy appearance. This paper presents the instrumentation methods required to measure accurate mechanical properties of soft polymeric coating materials which are commonly used in paints, varnishes, lacquers, etc. A range of examples of typical results is also included to give the reader some ideas of the information which can be obtained from some of these simple tests.

Nonskid coatings are typically used on the flight deck of aircraft carriers and high traffic areas of a ships’ deck. At this time, there are only a few approved materials available for use as nonskid coating for landing areas onboard US Navy vessels. Nonskid coating materials with improved performance, lower cost, and decreased maintenance are currently in development.

An Update and Review of Offshore Systems and Current Testing Scenarios

Product Number: 41206-266-SG
Author: Mike Mitchell
Publication Date: 2006
$20.00

Offshore coating systems have evolved over the past 50 years to allow for restrictions in raw material use and solvent emissions. This has meant that many tried and tested systems can no longer be used.  This paper describes the industry in terms of attempts to generate suitable prequalification testing scenarios which will prevent premature failures of untried new systems

Effects of Blasting Methods on the Performance of Organic Coatings

Product Number: 41206-267-SG
Author: Andreas W. Momber
Publication Date: 2006
$20.00

The effects of three blasting methods utilised for surface preparation upon the behavior of five organic coating systems are investigated. The blasting methods include dry blast cleaning, UHP and UHPAB. It is shown that pull-off strength, pull-off failure mode, and delamination are significantly affected by the surface preparation method.
