Epoxy resin application

Good quality steel is used and electrozinc is preferred for washing machines. Steel is pretreated with iron phosphate for economy electrozinc with a fine crystal zinc phosphate. No primer is normally used 25-40/im of finish is applied direct to metal. The required properties are best obtained with a thermosetting acrylic or polyester/melamine-formaldehyde finish. Self-reactive acrylics are usually preferred these resins contain about 15 Vo 7V-butoxymethyl acrylamide (CH2=CH —CO —NH —CHj—O —C4H,) monomer and cure in a manner similar to butylated melamine-formaldehyde resins. Resistance or anti-corrosive properties may be upgraded by the inclusion of small amounts of epoxy resin. Application is usually by electrostatic spray application from disc or bell. Shapes are complex enough to require convected hot-air curing. Schedules of 20 min at 150-175°C are...

Solvents. Solvents commonly used in epoxy resin applications present a flammability hazard. These solvents present other special health hazards. Contact with solvents will cause defatting and drying of the skin, which enhances the chance for skin irritation. Some solvents are absorbed directly though the skin, and absorption may be enhanced if the skin is abraded or irritated. They also have the ability to dissolve other epoxy resin system chemicals and carry them through the skin. The inhalation of solvent vapors or mists may cause respirator irritation and depression of the central nervous system.

The scope of epoxy-resin application is broad. Epoxy resins are used mostly in two-component paints and other protective coatings, and two-component adhesives. Epoxy resins are used to provide good resistance against water, most chemicals, corrosion, heat and... 

Alkanolamines are used as cross-linking and hardener accelerators in epoxy resins applications. Improved thermal and oxidative stability of polyvinyl alcohol, poly(phenylene ether), polystyrene, polypropylene, and polyethylene polymers are achieved by the addition of small amounts of the alkanolamines. Diethanolamine and morpholine act as initiators for the preparation of poly (alkyl methacrylate) in bulk or solution polymerization. The ethanolamines are efficient initiators for the preparation of polyvinyl chloride. Alkanolamines promote cross-linking of styrene copolymers with polystyrene or polyvinyl alcohol. Addition of alkanolamines to phenolic formaldehyde or urea formaldehyde resins affords improved electrical properties and increased water solubility.

Generally, vertical or horizontal coalescer-separator vessels for fuels are fabricated from carbon steel, coated internally with various linings such as epoxy resin. Applications include their use in refuelling facilities around the world, helicopter and VTOL support bases, with large capacity units used for bunkering or fuel distribution depots. 

Elevated temperatures are necessary for cure and the chemical resistance of the laminates is inferior to those from unmodified resins. Because of problems in handling, the polyamides have found only limited use with epoxy resins, mainly for coating and adhesive applications.

The materials of construction, from the cupboard to the fan, should be inorganic and resistant to attack by perchloric acid. For the cupboard itself suitable materials include stainless steel of types, 316 or 317, solid epoxy resin, and rigid PVC. Stainless steel has been popular for this application as it is easy to form, weld, and polish. It is, however, attacked by the acid, which causes discoloration of the metal surface and the formation of iron(III) perchlorate, which can be explosive. Ductwork, separate from other extract systems, is usually made from stainless steel or plastic materials. Fire regulations may preclude the use of plastic ductwork or require it to be sheathed in an outer casing of metal or GRP. The fan casing and impeller can both be made of plastic. 

Viscoelastic characteristics of composite materials usually result from a viscoelastic-matrix material such as epoxy resin. General stress analysis of viscoelastic composites was discussed by Schapery [6-54]. An important application to laminated plates was made by Sims [6-55]. 

Epoxy phenolic coatings These materials are also cured at relatively high temperatures and are made by the reaction of the epoxy resin with the phenolic resin. They are slightly less critical in application requirements, are less sensitive to curing conditions and can be applied in thicker coats. The best use for both these materials is as tank linings used for the storage or food products, drinks, etc. or for process plant, evaporators, etc. that contain boiling water.
