Development of Low Temperature Cure Epoxy Paint for Offshore Steel Structures in Cold Areas

摘要

A low temperature cure epoxy paint was developed for the purpose of protecting offshore steel structures in cold areas from corrosion. This paint is composed of epoxyacrylate resin, epoxy resin, hardener and so on, and is available as a finish coating material on an inorganic zinc-rich primer. Properties of paint and coated film, applicability with airless machine and accelerated corrosion test results are discussed. The field test and its durability results are also described. These results showed that this low temperature cure epoxy paint could be field applied and even when coated at low temperatures, had good corrosion resistance on sea area.
