Abstract
A method of protecting a surface including the steps of applying a first curable material to the surface, partially curing the layer, applying a second curable material to the partially cured layer, and then subjecting the layers to full curing to form an integrated layer. The first curable material may be an epoxy resin blend, and the second curable material a polyester resin blend. The epoxy resin blend may comprise epichlorohydrin (bisphenol A), amine condensate curing agents, mineral extenders, zinc and various additives. The polyester blend may comprise a saturated carboxylated polyester resin, a TGIC curing agent, mineral extenders, pigments, and various additives.
Description
A METHOD OF PROTECTING A SURFACE The present invention relates to a method of protecting a surface, particularly but not exclusively the protection of metal surfaces which have been subjected to a high performance metal surface preparation.
In order to protect such high performance metal surfaces, the surfaces are coated. However, the coating itself may be subject to wear leading eventually to damage to the prepared high performance metal surface. An object of the invention is to overcome or mitigate this disadvantage.
According to the present invention there is provided a method of protecting a surface including the steps of applying a first layer of a first curable material to the surface, partially curing the layer, applying a second layer of a second curable material to the partially cured layer, and curing the superposed layers to form a integrated layer.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the first layer comprises an epoxy resin. Advantageously, this is specifically blended for the purpose comprising, for example, bisphenol A (epichlorohydrin), amine condensate curing agents, mineral extenders, zinc and various additives. Similarly, the curable material of the second layer is also advantageously specifically
blended comprising, for example, saturated carboxylate polyester resin, TGIC curing agent, mineral extenders, pigments and various additives. The first layer may be partially cured by rapid heading to 120 C for between
two and six minutes before application of the second layer. After application of the second layer, the superposed layers are advantageously fully cured together at a temperature of between 200 and 2400C for a period of between fifteen and twenty-five minutes to produce a completely integrated layer which combines the corrosion resistance of the epoxy first layer with the weather resistance of the polyester layer. The partial curing of the first layer enables thorough cross linking with the material of the second layer to produce the integrated combined layer during the further curing. The method is suitable for metals generally and is particularly suitable for carbon steel, and aluminium and zinc coated steels.
In order that the invention may be more fully understood, one embodiment of the invention will now be described, by way of example.
In this embodiment the surface to be coated is subjected to a high performance surface preparation in a conventional manner. A specifically formulated epoxy blend of bisphenol A (epichlorohydrin), amine condensate curing agents, mineral extenders, zinc and various additives is applied as a first layer to the prepared surface. This epoxy blend layer is then subject to a partial intermediate curing by rapidly heating the layer up to 120oC and maintaining this temperature for a period of two to six minutes. A second layer comprising a polyester resin is then applied to the first layer. The polyester resin is a blend of saturated carboxylate polyester resin, TGIC/PYRAMID/OTHER curing agent, mineral extenders, pigments and
various additives. The superposed layers are then subjected to a further curing by heating the layers to a temperature of between 200 to 240C and maintaining that temperature for a period of between fifteen and twenty five minutes to form a single integrated layer which combines the corrosion resistance of the epoxy layer with the weather resistance of the polyester.
The partial curing of the first layer promotes a thorough cross linking between the materials of the two layers to facilitate the homogenous layer formation in the final curing step.
The method may be used on any suitable substrate and is particularly suitable for the coating of carbon steel, and aluminium and zinc coated steels.
It will be appreciated that the above embodiment has been described by way of example only and that many variations are possible without departing from the scope of the invention.
