Novel Waterborne Epoxy Resin Dispersion for High Performance Metal Primers and Concrete Floor Finishes

A new and versatile waterborne solid epoxy resin dispersion with good flexibility and improved shear stability is presented. When this binder is used, high performance metal primers can be formulated without the use of anti-corrosion pigments. This is highly desirable since the toxicological effects of zinc phosphate and other zinc-based salts are causing environmental concerns.

A new and versatile waterborne solid epoxy resin dispersion with good flexibility and improved shear stability is presented. When this binder is used, high performance metal primers can be formulated without the use of anti-corrosion pigments. This is highly desirable since the toxicological effects of zinc phosphate and other zinc-based salts are causing environmental concerns. Low VOC 2K metal primers formulated with this new resin provided equal or better corrosion resistance when compared to commercially available, higher VOC waterborne and solventborne paint systems. Additionally, by using specific formulation techniques, it is also possible to use this epoxy resin to formulate durable concrete floor coatings with VOC contents below 50g/L, meeting the strictest VOC requirements in certain parts of USA while maintaining good performance properties and ease of applications for contractors and do-it-yourselfers (DIYers).
