Introduction to the definition of Epoxy Paint

2021-11-20

Epoxy paint is composed of epoxy resin, extender pigment and curing agent. It is suitable for painting the inner wall of oil tanks, and can be widely used on the surface of various light metal and cement structures indoor and outdoor. It can be coated on railway bridges, high-voltage transmission towers, containers, offshore drilling and oil extraction equipment used in different environments, and various Vehicle chassis, heavy machinery, ships, chemicals, equipment and pipelines, gas storage tanks for gas engineering.

Epoxy paint is a type of industrial coatings that has developed extremely rapidly in recent years. Generally speaking, coatings containing more epoxy groups in their composition are collectively referred to as epoxy paints. The main variety of epoxy paint is two-component paint, which is composed of epoxy resin and curing agent. There are other single-component air-drying varieties, but there is a certain gap between its performance and two-component coatings. The main advantage of epoxy paint is that it has strong adhesion to inorganic materials such as cement and metal; the coating itself is very corrosion-resistant; it has excellent mechanical properties, abrasion resistance and impact resistance; it can be made into solvent-free or high-solid coatings; it is resistant to organic solvents , Heat and water resistance; non-toxic coating film. The disadvantage is that the weather resistance is not good, and the phenomenon of chalking may occur after long exposure to sunlight, so it can only be used for primer or interior paint; poor decoration, gloss is not easy to maintain; high requirements for construction environment, coating film at low temperature The curing is slow and the effect is not good; many varieties require high temperature curing, and the investment in coating equipment is relatively large. Epoxy resin coatings are mainly used for floor coating, automobile primer, metal anticorrosion, chemical anticorrosion, etc.
