Abstract
In order to protect free surfaces, especially steel surfaces against corrosion, a water layer is applied thereto, binding it to the surface by means of a gel-forming hydrophilic material which is essentially insoluble in water. The hydrophilic material is preferably a polymer or an inorganic, gel-forming composition. The method may be used for protection of offshore constructions, ships, the ballast tanks of ships, iron and steel pipelines, and the like. It may also be used to coat the interior of asbestos cement pipe to prevent asbestos pollution of a liquid to be conducted by the pipe.
Claims24
A method for coating a free previously uncoated surface selected from the group consisting of metallic surfaces and asbestos cement surfaces, comprising, keeping the surface in a wet condition by binding a water layer to the surface by means of a gel-forming hydrophilic material, which after gelling and cure is essentially insoluble in water.
A composition for use in protecting free surfaces, comprising a gel-forming hydrophilic material, which is essentially insoluble in water, and an inorganic gel-forming substance, together with water;
- wherein the hydrophilic material is about 25% by weight calcium ligninsulfonate, about 2% by weight sodium bichromate, about 3% by weight micro-mica, and about 70% water.
Composition for use in protecting free surfaces, comprising a gel-forming hydrophilic material, which is essentially insoluble in water, and an inorganic gel-forming substance, together with water;
- wherein the hydrophilic material is about 40% by weight melamine-formaldehyde resin, about 10% by weight phosphoric acid, about 3% by weight micro-mica, and 47% water.
A composition of matter for use in protecting free surfaces, comprising a gel-forming hydrophilic material, which is essentially insoluble in water and an inorganic gel-forming substance, together with water
- wherein the hydrophilic material is about 25% by weight urea-formaldehyde resin, about 3% by weight micro-mica and about 47% water.
A method for the protection of free, uncoated, metallic surfaces against corrosion comprising, first applying a cationic polymer to the surface and then applying an anionic gel former, thereby keeping the surface in a wet condition by binding a water layer to the metal surface by means of the gel-forming hydrophilic material, which after gelling and cure is essentially insoluble in water.
A method for the protection of free metallic steel surfaces, comprising coating the surface with zinc powder and then coating it with a hydrophilic polymer and gel, to form a water insoluble gel.
