    Hybrid finishing coatings applied on laminar zinc primers
    (American Chemical Society, 2013-05-29) Giúdice, Carlos Alberto; Canosa, Guadalupe; Alfieri, Paula
    Hybrid finishing coatings were formulated with several film-forming materials and reinforcement fibers. In all cases, the same tri-pigmented epoxy-polyamide coating based on laminar zinc was used as primer. The results indicated that wellwetted fibers improved mechanical properties of finishing coating films, such as tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, hardness, adhesion, and impact resistance; on the other hand, elongation decreased according with type and level of reinforcement fibers selected. In addition, finishing coatings with semiconductive fibers displayed in salt spray (fog) apparatus, a high dissolution of metallic zinc of primer since these fibers would act as cathode in galvanic cells. According to IR spectrum analysis, chemical degradation was observed only in coatings with the binder susceptible to basic hydrolysis due to the action of hydroxyl ions formed on semiconductive fibers. Furthermore, nonconductive fibers included in finishing coatings displayed no changes in any film-forming material (even when alkyd resin was used) nor promoted excessive zinc dissolution of primer.

    High solids, one coat paints based on aliphatic epoxi resin siloxanes for steel protection
    (Elsevier, 2014-05-01) Canosa, Guadalupe; Alfieri, Paula; Giúdice, Carlos Alberto
    This research involved the design of high-solids, one-coat paints for the protection of metal structures with low maintenance requirements. The main paint components were: (i) an aliphatic epoxy resin cured with an aminosilane and chemically modified with alkoxysilanes as film-forming material, and (ii) rutile titanium dioxide as opaque pigment, a polysilicate strontium and zinc as corrosion inhibitor and, a synthetic calcium silicate and barites as extenders. Some paints displayed excellent performance in salt spray apparatus (degree of rusting) and in 100% relative humidity cabinet(degree of blistering). Results indicate that as the aliphatic epoxy resin/alkoxide ratio increased, the degree of rusting improved while the degree of blistering worsened, in total agreement with film permeability. In addition, binders based on dimethyldiethoxysilane, methyltriethoxysilane and tetraethoxysilane, in that order, displayed an improved corrosion performance and a decreased blistering resistance. The reactivity of alkoxides and the chemical interaction with the metal substrate supports the obtained results. Initial gloss and gloss and color retention improved as the alkoxide level increased; no significative differences were registered when the alkoxide type variable was considered. In summary, the use of alkoxides as modifiers of an aliphatic epoxy resin allowed the formulation of hybrid paints with high anticorrosive and weathering resistance performance. The more suitable hybrid organic–inoganic paint must be selected according to the requirements of each structure in service
