Epoxy coatings for maritime applications are often created by the chemical reaction of a bisphenol A-type epoxy resin with a “curing agent” (such as amines, amine adducts, or polyamide resins).
At 25 °C, epoxy coatings typically reach the touch-dry stage in three hours and complete cure in seven days. The ambient and surface temperatures throughout the curing period have a significant impact on the time needed for complete cure.
When temperatures drop below 10 °C, the curing reaction slows down quickly. Epoxy coating films make good anticorrosion coatings since they are very resistant to the majority of pollutants. They are one of the main materials employed in the marine environment to prevent corrosion. When exposed to strong sunshine, epoxy coatings deteriorate.
Ships and other marine constructions have long been coated with epoxy coatings and inorganic zinc-rich coatings to prevent corrosion. The endurance of coatings for various harsh conditions has improved as a result of binder and pigment research and development.
Silicone-modified polymers and fluorine-modified polymers were the two most prevalent coating methods. In addition, two new vinyl monomers—alicyclic epoxy functional vinyl monomers and polysiloxane vinyl monomers with silanol groups—have been created for ambient curing coatings.
The Global Epoxy Coating Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
