Over the past few decades, dramatic technology shifts have occurred in the coatings industry. Rapid changes in pigments, resins, and solvents have helped make environmentally friendly coatings possible; however, such changes have also created many technical hurdles.
Stress development in epoxy coatings applied in water ballast tanks (WBT) on ships can lead to cracking, corrosion, and failure of ship’s hulls, with catastrophic consequences to the environment as well as loss of seamen at sea. Typically, these cracks do not appear during application and curing of the coating but after some finite time of service. The financial wellbeing of the ship’s owner can suffer greatly. To avoid such cracking, it is critical to have a clear understanding of the underlying mechanisms and primary controlling factors behind the coating cracks.
