Formulators in the Field: The Effect of Over-Cure or Under-Cure of Polyclamine Cured Epoxy Linings

Formulators in the Field: The Effect of Over-Cure or Under-Cure of Polyclamine Cured Epoxy Linings
Available for download

Advanced technology high performance tank linings are often applied by plural spray equipment and occasionally one of the components could be off ratio. Worse still, some well-intentioned field personnel might add more curing agent to speed up the cure, or alter other properties, or may not utilize the entire curing agent portion in a single leg application. This paper investigates the effects of under-cure or over-cure on the performance of two high temperature tank linings by deliberately mis-mixing the two components.

This paper investigates the effects of under-cure or over-cure on the performance of two high temperature tank linings by deliberately mis-mixing the two components. Accelerated laboratory tests were undertaken on a 2ct thin film solvented polycyclamine cured epoxy and a 1ct solvent-free, thick film polycyclamine cured epoxy. The tests employed were autoclave (TM0185) at high temperature in oilpatch production fluids, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), adhesion, solvent resistance, infra-red spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and dry time observations.

Adhesion performance is required for every coating system. The adhesion between coatings and substrates is one of the most critical determining factors in the overall success of any coating material. Material design and formulation are key components of high-performance coatings and rely heavily on the accurate measurement and evaluation of adhesion in the coating systems.

Trends in Tank Lining Test Methodology for Oil and Gas Service

Changing conditions in the Oil and Gas industry are yielding greater corrosion protection challenges to the owners and operators of refineries, terminals, pipelines, railcars etc. Internal lining schemes which have traditionally been used for the storage and transport of crude oil and refined fuels may no longer be appropriate. The aggressive nature of crude oil (higher temperatures and more sour nature), high purity refined products and the increased use of biofuels globally necessitate the demand for better linings and more certain test results.

A long-term project such as the current Brooklyn Bridge Rehabilitation Program, known as Brooklyn Bridge Contract 6, presents a great opportunity to collect vast amounts of data and records relating to the total coating replacement on a historic landmark. On any project, especially one of this scope, the project team has to deal with many obstacles, both expected and unexpected, and significant unknowns.
