Optimization of High Solids Self-Leveling Epoxy Floor Coatings

Optimization of High Solids Self-Leveling Epoxy Floor Coatings
Available for download

High solids epoxy self-leveling coatings are among the most widely used for industrial flooring due to their excellent performance, including aesthetics, durability, and chemical resistance. Epoxy self-leveling floorings are 2K systems consisting of an epoxy resin with fillers and additives and an amine based curing agent. The two part formulations are mixed and then spread over pretreated concrete surfaces, with minimal troweling or smoothing, to give excellent surface properties.

High solids epoxy self-leveling coatings are among the most widely used for industrial flooring due to their excellent performance, including aesthetics, durability, and chemical resistance. Epoxy self-leveling floorings are 2K systems consisting of an epoxy resin with fillers and additives and an amine based curing agent. The two part formulations are mixed and then spread over pretreated concrete surfaces, with minimal troweling or smoothing, to give excellent surface properties.  This paper describes the optimization of epoxy self-leveling floor formulations to give coatings with excellent aesthetics, fast return to service, an application window down to 13 °C, with good compressive strength and durability performance. The epoxy self-leveling coatings have low VOC levels (< 50 g/L) and the preferred formulations contain no alkylphenols. This paper covers part-A formulation development and testing with different epoxy curing agents.

Surface Roughness Profile and its effect on Coating Adhesion and Corrosion Protection

Modern design, manufacturing and field-testing specifications include surface profile and adhesion testing on the assumption that they are linked to long term corrosion prevention. There are a number of careful studies, dating back decades, that find no link between measurements of adhesion and (undercutting) corrosion performance, but other studies do, and the concept remains intuitively appealing and widely assumed.

Often coatings are judged by certain criteria especially when it comes to immersion service. One of the criteria used to evaluate these coatings is permeability, which is often misunderstood. With 2 ASTM test methods, each with multiple methods and ways to report the results, you may get so much conflicting information that none of the information permeates into your brain in an understandable way.

 In our world of protective coatings, water usually seems to cause trouble. In relation to coating concrete - determining how wet the manhole structure is paramount in our struggle to rehabilitate these manholes. And we are not talking about the manholes used to contain water during heavy rains or floods, strictly the sanitary manholes. A few ASTM test methods are important tools.
