Abstract:

The modern refinements of these materials are much easier to apply and have found extensive use as tank linings, particularly for wine storage, and in food factories and chemical plants. The aromatic amine has been superseded largely by specially designed aliphatic an cycloaliphatic amine formulations and this trend is set to continue, particularly because of modern labelling requements for DDM based hardeners. Some solvent-free coatings based on non-DDM hardeners, however, are limited by the inability to cure properly if the temperature is very low and humidity is high. The use of water-based epoxies may be unsuitable where chemical resistance is critical or where high humidity prevails during cure, espe¬cially when temperature and air movement are low.
