PROTECTIVE COATINGS FOR STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS

A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW IS PRESENTED OF CURRENTLY USED MATERIALS AND APPLICATIONS FOR STRUCTURAL COATINGS. COATINGS FOR STEEL ARE IN THE MAIN SOLVENT- BASED, BUT IT IS PREDICTED THAT A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF COATINGS WILL BE WATER-BASED WITHIN 5 YEARS. AN ADVANTAGE OF 100% SOLIDS PRODUCTS, WATER-BASED, AND POWDER COATINGS IS THAT NO SOLVENT IS LIBERATED AT APPLICATION: IT IS ESTIMATED THAT SOLVENT FROM PAINTS LIBERATED TO THE ATMOSPHERE ACCOUNTS FOR 240,000 TONS OF POLLUTION PER YEAR IN ENGLAND. THE OTHER TOPICS ADDRESSED IN THE REVIEW ARE BINDERS (ALKYDS, POLYURETHANES, CHLORINATED RUBBER, EPOXIES, ACRYLICS, UNSATURATED POLYESTERS, AND COPOLYMERS OF BUTADIENE), VINYLS, ELASTOMERIC COATINGS, MODIFICATION OF RESINS, PIGMENTS, SURFACE PREPARATION, APPLICATION OF PAINT, EMULSION PAINTS, COATINGS FOR CONCRETE ETC., USE OF POLYURETHANES FOR MORTARS, HIGH-BUILD COATINGS, ZINC- RICH PRIMERS, SPECIALTY-COATING SUPPLIERS, AND ECONOMICS.
