A New Formulation Addressing Base Resin Challenges and Carcinogenic Concerns for Water Pipeline Cathodic Protection

Article Preview

Abstract:

Traditional epoxy coatings used for water pipeline cathodic protection have several shortcomings, including limited availability, high cost, and carcinogenic concerns. To address these challenges, a new, food-grade epoxy coating that is affordable, meets all technical requirements, and is free of carcinogenic substances was developed.The study involved testing various kinds of reinforcing fillers, non-reinforcing pigments, red pigment, and BYK additives to formulate the epoxy-based coating. Curing experiments were then conducted by formulating the coating with a fixed ratio of curing agent and spraying the resins onto mild steel panels for testing.The results demonstrated that the new formulation has good compressive strength, adequate impact resistance, and Shore D hardness in the range of 60-70, which is expected for this type of application. The abrasion resistance of the coatings increased with increasing hardness.Overall, the new food-grade epoxy coating is a promising alternative to traditional epoxy coatings for water pipeline cathodic protection. It is affordable, meets all technical requirements, and is free of carcinogenic substances.Key words: Epoxy Resin, Coating, Food Grade, TETA
