Today’s coating formulations have and are continuing to evolve in chemistry and composition in response to environmental regulations as well as raw material availability, and social expectations. The performance expectations for coatings have, if anything increased rather than decreased. A perfect example is automotive topcoats. It wasn’t many decades ago when the life expectancy of a new car was 4-5 years before it was scrapped. Today’s cars, subjected to the same or harsher environmental conditions last well beyond 15-20 years without any restoration effort by their owners. The legislation of the 70’s moved the technology from solvent-borne low solids to today’s wide choices low VOC, more environmentally friendly, greener technologies. Additives, used to correct certain coating defects that occur during application also needed to be modified for these newer technologies. As major components of coating formulations evolved to meet raw material situations and/or to take advantage of technological advancements, the old additives were found to be either less or not effective at all. Thus, the chemistry of the additives for these new coating vehicles, and formulations also evolved to support and improve the development, application, and performance of today’s environmentally friendly coatings.

This presentation will compare and contrast several anti-corrosive tidal zone coatings developed under a Navy SBIR program. Requirements for the coating included no VOC’s, surface tolerance to chlorides and water, fast cure to avoid washout by tides and waves, and thick build properties. Various trials of the material on dock sheet pilings and cooling tower fallout zones will be illustrated as well as accelerated lab test data.
