Heat‐resistant anti‐corrosive paint from epoxy‐silicone vehicles

Abstract

Describes the preparation and properties of heat‐resistant paints based on an epoxy blended with rhodorsil silicone resin. Studies the heat‐resistant properties as per ASTM standard (D 2485‐91). Also determines the properties of the liquid paint and coated metal panels. Assesses the thermal degradation of the coating both by electrochemical (potential vs time and EIS) and structural (SEM) means. Results reveal that the coating is stable up to 200°C on a mild steel surface and degradation takes place only beyond this temperature. Discusses the failure mechanism of the above coating in light of the experiment’s results.
