Abstract
This invention concerns an epoxy coating for use as a non-skid surface for applications such as the deck of an aircraft carrier. The epoxy coating can be formulated from (a) an amine curing agent, (b) an epoxide-containing toughening agent such as a polysulfide and/or a polythioether, (c) an epoxy resin, (d) a rubber toughening agent, and (e) an optional fire retardant, a glass fiber thixotrope and impact toughening agent, an optional pigment, an optional corrosion inhibitor, an optional moisture penetration inhibitor, an optional ultraviolet light stabilizer, an optional abrasive aggregate, or a combination thereof.
Claims31
An epoxy topcoat comprising a cured mixture that is formulated from
- an epoxy resin,
- an epoxide-containing toughening agent,
- optionally, an ultraviolet light stabilizer,
- a pigment,
- a glass fiber thixotrope and impact toughening agent,
- an optional abrasive aggregate,
- an optional fire retardant,
- an amine curing agent, and
- a rubber toughening agent other than the epoxide-containing toughening agent.
An epoxy coating formulated from (a) an amine curing agent, (b) an epoxide-containing toughening agent, (c) an epoxy resin, (d) a rubber toughening agent other than the epoxide-containing toughening agent, and (e) an optional fire retardant, an optional glass fiber thixotrope and impact toughening agent, a pigment, a corrosion inhibitor, a moisture penetration inhibitor, an ultraviolet light stabilizer, an optional abrasive aggregate, or a combination thereof.
