Method for coating steel structures in water

Abstract

A method for coating steel structures in water which comprises coating as a first layer an underwater-curable composition comprising (1) a two-pack resin blend system comprising (a) a blend system comprising an epoxy-based resin, and (b) a blend system comprising an underwater-curable curing agent capable of hardening the epoxy-based resin blend system, and (2) from 5 to 75% by weight, based on the total weight of the underwater-curable composition, of a metal powder having an ionization tendency greater than that of iron, on the steel structures, and coating an underwater-curable composition comprising the two-pack resin blend system and a coloring pigment on the first layer as a second layer.
