The Effect of Substrate Contaminates on the Life of Epoxy Coatings Submerged in Sea Water
TL;DRAbstract
Abstract : This research was conducted to study the effects that contaminants, commonly occurring in the marine environment, have on epoxy coating systems. Three standard ballast tank coatings plus a clear epoxy coating were tested. Three chemicals and various size blasting grit particles were used as contaminants. The two chloride contaminants (sea salt and sodium chloride) were found to be much more detrimental to epoxy coatings, than was ferrous sulphate or the grit particles.
